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.

yes, more straightforwardly classic rockin to these ears ... still fresh tho

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

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

I liked one song I heard- I'll check out the rest. Thanks!

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.

I like Mikal Cronin's last two records a lot more than any of this stuff
― akm, Wednesday, 21 October 2015 15:35 (eight years ago) link
Hmm... I tried one Mikal Cronin song on Youtube. It was OK I guess, but it didn't sound anything like Fuzz. I was a bit skeptical if I needed a double-album's worth of more Fuzz but I ended up listening all the way through to the NPR stream.
― o. nate, Thursday, 22 October 2015 01:32 (eight years ago) link
Cronin's debut is excellent, heavy Segall-strafed power-pop. His second was pleasant, but I found the third dull, though I didn't listen to it enough to be fair. He's no Ty.

sounds great.

Interesting production. Kinda new wave Devo doing garage. Melodies might be the downside.we shall see..
― nostormo, Thursday, 14 January 2016 22:44 (eight years ago) link
Not really feeling this and I'm a pretty big fan.

got a new band lineup, recorded with steve albini apparently
― global tetrahedron, Saturday, 11 June 2016 19:10 (seven years ago) link
never really listened to him before tonight, i got the death by audio 3xLP and it came with a 12" of his first show in new york in 2008. it's rad- i love the context and the vibe- not many people there, crowd chatting a bit, segall says he's psyched to be in new york. dude has a massive discography, what's a good place to start?
― flappy bird, Thursday, 24 November 2016 04:12 (seven years ago) link
imo can't go wrong with anything from 2009 to 2014
reverse shark attack, melted, goodbye bread, twins, hair, slaughterhouse, manipulator are all great
― the late great, Thursday, 24 November 2016 04:30 (seven years ago) link
Melted's a great starting place, also the Singles comp on Goner, or the live at Aisle 5 LP.
― stevie, Thursday, 24 November 2016 10:00 (seven years ago) link
Melted is what got me hooked.
