the more I think about it Twins is probably the best front to back out of these. it's easier to pick the winners and losers off Slaughterhouse.

Yeah, I like the Presley songs on Hair. I'll check out those others, thanks.

Pretty sure that's a re-issue of his collab album with Mikal Cronin (which is pre the three everyone's talking about)

AMAAAAAAZING pink floyd cover on that record

So Segall did an all-folk-minimalist-record.
oh well, i'll wait for the Fuzz project.
― nostormo, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 22:35 (ten years ago) link
I'm really digging the album. I hear a lot of Neil Young in this, which is obviously always a good thing imo.
― scubasteve, Thursday, 15 August 2013 14:41 (ten years ago) link
ha yeah, "all-folk-minimalist-record" sounds like a good move to me.
― tylerw, Thursday, 15 August 2013 14:43 (ten years ago) link
it's ok, but not really challenging i think.
maybe it deserves more spinning to decide though
― nostormo, Thursday, 15 August 2013 17:45 (ten years ago) link
yeah, it was pretty nice but gave me a bit of a "I've listened to barrett/bolan and you sir are no barrett/bolan" feeling
― wk, Thursday, 15 August 2013 18:32 (ten years ago) link
The best Segall records are his collaborations. (White Fence, Cronin, Epsilons..)
He should stick to that formula imo
― nostormo, Friday, 16 August 2013 21:00 (ten years ago) link
Pretty stoked on this Fuzz stuff. Really dig all the singles - none of which are on the LP!
And the King Crimson cover is a lot of fun.

I saw FUZZ live on Friday night at the Tufnell Park Dome. They totally killed it. Segall is an animal of a drummer and the riffs are just so huge... I love the singles, but live, stripped of the slightly distant reverb, the tunes are just monstrous. I kind of think they could be huge.
― Walter Galt, Monday, 30 September 2013 11:51 (ten years ago) link
gah, want the fancy-ass version of the FUZZ lp so dang bad. somebody please send one to me for no reason at all.
also hope to make one of the mass shows in a couple weeks.
― IIIrd Datekeeper (contenderizer), Monday, 30 September 2013 15:19 (ten years ago) link
Fuz is his best effortAlong with the Fence collaboration imo.
― nostormo, Monday, 30 September 2013 17:36 (ten years ago) link
i'm not feeling the fuzz so much, miss his squally guitars, but its a good record
― Holy Shirt! (stevie), Monday, 30 September 2013 18:33 (ten years ago) link
Just now getting to the Fuzz album and it's so good. Some sick guitar on there.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Friday, 11 October 2013 14:38 (ten years ago) link
so the new one is pretty straightforward psychedlic garage. and it's good.
― nostormo, Thursday, 31 July 2014 18:33 (nine years ago) link
arrangements are much better than usual.he/they learned how to play the instruments.

need to go find this...

it's great. buy it. (when its out).

liking a lot of this but the guitar solo passages sort of distract me from everything else. bet it will rip live though!
― global tetrahedron, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 02:44 (nine years ago) link
its his longest album yet, isn't it?
― you couldn't even wear a fedora if your lifes depended on it (stevie), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 05:22 (nine years ago) link
yeah, it's 17 songs, and some push four minutes. it's good but i can't decide if it's too long. i think it might be.
― global tetrahedron, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 13:16 (nine years ago) link
production is awesome.the problem is the songwriting. it's kinda generic Ty style.
― nostormo, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 13:19 (nine years ago) link
this album james hard

jams
i love it. its harder to digest in one go than, say, melted. but its excellent.

yeah i'm holding judgment until i get to listen all the way through a few more times. i have faith in him! so excited to see him soon. bummed i missed the Fuzz tour:

It sounds really retro. Like way more retro than his other stuff. I prefer the rocked-out version of "Feel" from Conan to the album version.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 17:58 (nine years ago) link
yes, more straightforwardly classic rockin to these ears ... still fresh tho
― the late great, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 19:05 (nine years ago) link
i still think Hair and Fuzz are the best things he done.
Manipulator is his third best i guess imo.
― nostormo, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 19:31 (nine years ago) link
hair is really great
― the late great, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 19:50 (nine years ago) link
new album is really holding up great for me
who's the drummer on this? so good, and those nice, flat 70s drum sounds too
rhythm section makes this album
good hooks on every song as well, haven't heard a retro rock record this good for a long time
― u2 removal machine (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 24 October 2014 19:52 (nine years ago) link
guessing it's him?

― Evan, Friday, 24 October 2014 20:01 (nine years ago) link
there are a few different drummers i believe, the lady who toured with him on a few, him on some, and i think chris wodehouse who is from that whole san fran psych/garage thing.
still think the album is a little too long and some of the guitar solos are sort of distracting/crappy but overall i really dug it
― global tetrahedron, Friday, 24 October 2014 20:04 (nine years ago) link
their touring drummer is Emily Epstein -- she's been playing drums for Ty for a few years -- she moved down to LA last year
― sarahell, Friday, 24 October 2014 20:08 (nine years ago) link
Ty Segall is a very good drummer though

Super solid fun record! Drags a bit in spots maybe - but good dirty sound, really hooky tunes - almost verging on a scrappy sprightly version of Deep Purple or Sabbath riffage. I haven't heard everything, but Manipulator seems like a breakthrough of sorts.
― Brio2, Friday, 24 October 2014 20:44 (nine years ago) link
Seems like everyone very keen to tag this as ' break through' when it actually appears to be struggling for any more traction than previous records. Everyone seems to get that he is a solid songwriter but he does not seem to have found X FaCtor song. Not that I think that is necessarily some kind of noble goal to crave or is necessary but it is curious to me how much of the narrative around this record is about taking things to the ' next level'
― Hinklepicker, Friday, 24 October 2014 21:20 (nine years ago) link
It does seem like a bit more thought out and cohesive and tuneful record than others to me - and maybe a bit more conventional. I don't think anyone really expects a huge hit record out of the guy.

Fwiw,I wanted to go see hijm recently and he instantly sold out a club he'd played before to solid but far from sold out crowd, also have a couple of friends who are into more commercial band like black keys, qotsa, etc get into him now
― u2 removal machine (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Saturday, 25 October 2014 14:20 (nine years ago) link
Oh well sounds like he is doing better with thiS than I thought then. Good for him.
― Hinklepicker, Saturday, 25 October 2014 19:37 (nine years ago) link
it might be more momentum than the last album specifically, but i'm hearing a lot more friends/coworkers talking about the guy.
