At the time, we called Twins, Ty Segall’s best album, and it was, only to be surpassed by Manipulator in 2014.
#TY SEGALL ALBUM REVIEWS FULL#
Ty Segall sounds like a full band version of Twins, Ty’s Headphone Approved masterpiece from 2012. Nor is it a quiet reflective T Rex inspired album like Sleeper was, though it certainly has some elements of that as well. Ty Segall is an adventurous album it’s not a full blown garage psych freak-out like Slaughterhouse was, though it certainly has moments that could be characterized as such. The results of this collaboration on Ty Segall are flat out staggering. Perhaps sensing that he needed to change things up a bit, Ty assembled his band along with Cairo Gang’s Emmett Kelly, and headed to the studio to record Ty Segall as a band (with Steve Albini engineering), and not just by himself which has been his normal modus operandi. While certainly a very good album, it was missing something that we couldn’t quite put our finger on. Last year’s Ty Segall offering Emotional Mugger seemed to not stick with listeners as long as his previous albums had. Fire Note Says: Segall delivers one of the best albums of his career.Īlbum Review: Opening with the thunderous guitar riff of “Break a Guitar” it is immediately obvious that Ty Segall is going to be a pretty special album.
