Editorial Reviews
2010 release from the San Francisco Psych wunderkind. Segall continues a tireless musical assault on ears and minds with this, his third album. He says it sounds like "cherry cola, Sno-Cones and taffy." Indeed! Over the past two years, he's released records more often than most people do laundry, but somehow there is still a heap of anticipation for this album, packed full of truly Psychedelic Pop songs with great vocals and exciting arrangements.

This album has rekindled my love for Rock. The guy who created this music has rock n roll blood flowing through his veins and the listeners are injected with energy and passion.
The first song is about the guy sawing off the tip of his finger. Awesome.
I have been listening to this album about 4 times a day and I can not get enough.
If you want to rock out to an album that holds up buy this. I guarantee that there will be many great reviews of this album as time goes on. The music is addicting. I hear Pianos, flutes, electronic crazy sounds and lots of awesome guitar riffs. The vocals are to be craved by all other rock-stars.
If someone told me that they love rock but did not like this album, I would most likely punch them in the stomach or knock their drink out of their hand.
"Drink Coca-Cola, Drink Coca-cola, drink coca-cola with me.........."

Very cool CD. Well worth the price. Recommended if you like, early Nirvana (Bleach) or early Pavement (Slanted and Enchanted). The lo-fi guitars rev, as the pop lyrics hug. I can't wait for the next CD.

This is one of those albums that sounds like it was meticulously produced to sound like it was just thrown together on a 4 track in someone's basement. A closer listen hints at some pretty subtle sonic detailing going on around the edges, however.
Ty Segall has a distinct talent for crafting really catchy vocal hooks. Those hooks seem to bind everything together here. The opener, Fingers, goes from gentle falsetto harmonizing over some clean rhythm guitar to sneering punk snottiness over a wall of thunderous distortion.
The big radio hit is probably Caesar, which goes the opposite way, with a rollicking, trashy build up into a remarkably melodic little falsetto chorus at the break, and then builds back up again.
Bees starts off as a simple little ditty about falling in love and being happy, and then dissolves into a morass of thrashing, distorted parts that seem to wrestle with each other for attention. "I'm on drugs! Lemmy from Motorhead gave them to me!!!," a helium-voiced Segall screams at the song's conclusion.
I find that juxtaposition of gentle and harsh to be something of a theme throughout the album.
It has been a long time since I've heard a garage punk album as catchy as this. I feel like I sort of burned out on the genre sometime in the last ten years.
For what it's worth, I actually bought this album for full retail price from a brick-and-mortar store, which is extremely rare for me nowadays. It was worth it.

Outrageously good!
Lo-fi is all the rage right now, and there are so many artists who do an awful job with it...but Ty Segall is not one of them. Read more

Velvety psychadelic garage goodness
This is San Francisco lo-fi fuzzed-out neo-psychadelia at its best. Retro, but new. With some latent surf riffs. Read more
