"Real Estate fill the vast void left by the disbandment of Galaxie 500. Their songs are like long lost friends or perhaps more apt a faded, thread bear sweater that becomes more comfortable with age. They have an unapologetically preppy & collegiate vibe to them that reeks of lazy summers spent at..."  [+]  Reply

"This harkens the Boys to an older time where raw rapping and hip-hop was beloved by all. Unfortunately, this was not the case when this album was released, so public appeal was not terribly fantastic as it wasn't witty for the most part as fans of the group expected from them. That being said, th..."  [+]  Reply

"Having listened to this album a number of times, I finally get it. Disturbing, angry, quizzical, otherworldly, fascinating, funny, and very very beautiful. And Robert's voice floating over it all, haunting, wavering and honest. It's every bit as good as "Rock Bottom" if not better."  Reply

"I agree, it sounds like his well known two acoustic folk albums, though it isn't as brilliant as they were. Best tracks for me are The Painter and Here for You while otheres like the last two I don't like and many are just fine. Still, it's a nice album to listen."  Reply

"Listened to it again after a long time of not and while it still is like a fresh breath of air in an energetic morning, I agree... there's not much memorable on here except for maybe the first track. Not a lot of catchiness to this, but at the same time, it seems to be a thing in the 2010s. Lack ..."  [+]  Reply

"Needs reappraisal, a handful of great tunes. In my own time, ordinary dream, melting in the sun and long time gone are right up there, only the schmaltz of a couple of ordinary ballads weaken the set"  Reply

"With many versions of the same songs, one would think that this album is going to be a slog, but in reality is one of the better improvisational rock albums ever. All of the improvisations go to places far beyond their original ideas, and the clear sense of progression between disc and disce make..."  [+]  Reply
