4.0 excellentpatrickfannon | August 10th 11

The cover of Stephen Malkmus' first solo LP is more than fitting; it encapsulates both an attitude and an approach that permeates the record. After the melancholy and heavy-heartedness of Pavement's Terror Twilight, Malky kicks back, sighs, and sets forth an album that sounds as cool and beautiful as a California breeze, the sun setting lazily over the Pacific. Stephen Malkmus takes its listener to a place that many have been before, but few recognize: the space between Malky's ears.

4.0 excellentMorvit | June 27th 06

Stephen Malkmus' first solo album after the break-up of Pavement shows him creating more energetic music. At first listen, I actually found similarities between this album and an Architecture in Helsinki album. The album is full of catchy and fun songs. The album continues the display of SM's lyrical genius through songs like "Trojan Curfew" in which he sings about the Trojan war and possibly the best ballad since Pavement's "Grounded," the song "Church on White." This album is a definite must-listen for Pavement fans as SM continues his glorious music career.
