I am a fan of Real Estate's work, and regard Days (2011) as their finest work, however, after Mondanile's departure, The Main Thing (2020) might just be better than Days.
As usual, The Main Thing has a relaxed and reassuring tone, almost reminiscent of pop music from the 1960s until the 1980s. The singles on The Main Thing are Paper Cup (which has a well-produced music video, and is an overall good track), as well as The Main Thing (the obligatory title track, which is another good track).
For being Real Estate's fifth album, it is remarkable that The Main Thing maintains the same consistent sound they had on their self-titled debut album. The sound of their work is almost timeless. The Main Thing, alongside the remainder of their work, will age well.
Overall score: 10/10
Genera score: 9/10 (Indie-Rock)
