The Undisputed Truth, being a late addition to Motown's roster, had no career to ruin, so Whitfield was given a free hand to pursue his experiments with only few commercial concerns to hold him back. Whitfield pushes Motown about as far out as it will go with Undisputed Truth, sometimes embarrassing himself trying to mimic his role models and sometimes outdoing them. "Smiling Faces Sometimes", as ominous and well crafted as it is, actually winds up as one of the less interesting tracks onboard. The real attraction of this CD is its neat summarization of the sense of adventure Whitfield had about the band. He let it lead him to good places and bad places, but you never get the sense that he was playing it safe, and for something coming out of Motown -- or anywhere at all, for that matter -- that's an undisputed joy.
