  3. 7.5 |   Bowlegs

    he quieter moments, like the ‘Tumble, Lies & Honesty’, let the melodies sit up front, displaying Presley’s talents as a songwriter as much as a performer

  4. 7.4 |   Pitchfork

    Even with all of the bands he punches the time card for, it's starting to become very clear that, with Is Growing Faith, his solo efforts are the ones that reap the most rewards
