Since Real Estate has been showing up on so many lists, I thought I should give them a try too. I don't hate it but they definitely seem to be the most underwhelming "best" album I've listened to so far.

Real Estate's in my top ten of the year. At first I just found it pleasant but the more I listened to it the more I heard new things. Their first album is pretty boring but this one is full of great hooks and stellar guitar work. It's the perfect lazy sunday album

Maybe I'm just bored of seeing the same names over and over. Every thread festival year end list is every thread festival year end list

Their first album is pretty boring but this one is full of great hooks and stellar guitar work. It's the perfect lazy sunday album I think that's a perfect way to describe the album: pleasant. I made a point of giving it a few more listens this week just to see if it might grow on me a little more, but I'm still just left feeling like it was pleasant listen. I don't think that's a bad thing at all, it's just not enough of an impact to make it on my best album list.

I like Real Estate. It's good music for a Sunday drive, if people do that anymore.

Pazz and Jop just published their list today. I did not expect Tune-yards to top it but it was a nice surprise. For anyone who hasn't heard of it, Pazz and Jop is a collection of the top 10 albums and songs of the year from 700 different critics. I don't usually agree with the whole thing but it's the best attempt at sythesizing the general critical feelings of the year and is always worth a look. www.villagevoice.com/pazznjop/
