Fact: early Pavement get compared to The Fall, without any real solid argument behind it, since their songs lack the lyrical brilliance of an inspired Mark E Smith, not to say that 4/5 of Slanted and Enchanted feels like several ideas that failed to turn into complete songs. If a Fall-related band needs being compared to them, maybe Pavement went on to sound a bit like Blue Orchids on later albums, without appearing convinced of what they were doing, due mainly to Malkmus' posing as this ''look at me, I am so quirky'', half-arsed, smug indie rocker.
