    Cynics be damned: however the hype machine happens to play this one out, Real Estate have overcome the critics and released one of the most refreshing, satisfying and richly rewarding albums of 2009.

    Despite the summery song titles and the beach balling associations that might follow these guys around, this music transcends the notion of seasons.
  3. Dusted Magazine

    Real Estate's sound is imbued with the same sentimentality as the rest of the indie class of 2009, but with zero ambition.

    One of the best albums of the year, hands down. One of the few bands that can deliver equally in both their live performances and recorded content. Great to see that the critics agree.… Expand
