    The confidence and unforced vigour of Face The Truth suggest Malkmus is happier on the margins of alt.rock than in its spotlight. [Jun 2005, p.112]

    He’s back in the groove here: relaxed, confident, weird in his own special way, smart, and ready to make great albums again.

    Of the three Stephen Malkmus solo albums, this is the one that sounds the most like Pavement. [#15, p.91]
