Album Review: Lost & Safe by The Books

This is one of those albums I saw all over the 2005 Best Albums of the Year lists (or whatever year it was). I had never heard of it, no one I knew had heard them. So I decided to check it out.
And it is good. But unless it's a really slow year for good releases, I don't think I'd ever include it on a "Best of..." list.
Like Elf Power, Joan of Arc, June of 44 it's one of those sit-down-and-listen-to-it albums. I wouldn't put it on to clean the house or for a road trip. For sitting at your work desk, it's quite nice. There's nothing you're going to sing along with or tap your foot too. Again, it's good, but I'm pretty sure I'll forget about it by tomorrow.
