    The production on this album is terrible. Hate the drum sound. I like the guitars but still this record lacks emotion as a whole. Doesn't even come close to there previous work. Really disappointing. Also I saw them live in Knoxville and walked out. Such a boring live show.

    Am I nuts or do the guitars sound particularly good on this album? Maybe losing Matt Mondanile wasn't such a bad thing. Terrific songs and good production.

    Songs like Darling, Serve the Song, After the Moon, Same Sun... amongst their best songs imo. Love old Real Estate, Love the new. Hard for anything to top Suburban Beverage for me, but this is different and really good. Just listen to the After the Moon end instrumental/outro...A+

    I wasn't familiar with Real Estate before coming into this project, so I didn't know what to expect. After repeated listens since its release, I find the album an enjoyable, easy listen, one that flows from song to song seamlessly and easily. As long as you're not expecting groundbreaking work, you'll find lots to enjoy here.

    Some highlights for me include the opener, 'Darling', 'Stained Glass' and the longest track on the LP, 'Two Arrows'. It's a work to put on during lazy summer afternoons and early evenings, and one that I find myself coming back to repeatedly over the last few days. By no means a massive, hugely important album, but one that's a pleasure to listen to when you're in the mood.    … Expand

    Love this album! The songwriting and production is great. Mondanile's departure has created a noticeable difference in sound, but it's definitely a welcome one. A little different, but great. I personally saw some of Martin's solo style showing more in the songs as well and that was a very nice surprise. This has got to be their best release yet.

    Underappreciated album. Standout album and a great follow up to Atlas. Though it doesn't have what made Atlas so special it makes up for it with it's great production.

    [An] effortless fourth album, which is every bit as blissfully pretty and/or unremittingly milquetoast as what came before. [No. 141, p.61]

    If your life needs to be stripped of its bombast for a little while, Real Estate remain a steadfast companion for a little R&R. Just don’t beat yourself up if you can’t sit through the whole thing.

    From the fuzzy way-wah bridge of Serve the Song to the soft and gentle swing of Holding Patterns, the band is taking great strides in diversifying their musical palette even if it primarily coalesces and not expands on their established personalities.
