10. First Taste 

“The weirdest and absurdist Ty Segall album in a long time and personally i think this type of off-the-wall inventiveness is where he shines more. He expands his sounds and ideas while making fun twists in the process. The drumplay, the insane polyrhythmic parts, the distortions…there is an overwhelming sense of madness and quirky charm that makes this album such a ballsy ride.”

9. Harmonizer 

“Crikey Bob and Jeez Louise, I remember thinking this thing was decidedly middling, but coming back to this in the wake of Ty’s latest I’m finding myself thinking this actually goes bloody hard. I’m hearing strong songwriting and phat hooks where previously I heard a sound in search of tunes.”

8. Ty Segall 

“Ty Segall’s self-titled album is pretty similar to his other early release Horn the Unicorn, but there’s some improvements. It’s filthy garage slop pop with 60s influence and a punk approach. The production is still dirty and ugly as hell, but there’s a little more dynamic and the sound really bursts out of your speakers instead of sounding muffled.”

7. Goodbye Bread 

“Warmer and less weird than most of his other stuff, which can be ingratiating when you’re in the right mood for it. Sometimes it tips over into boring, though, but most of the time it’s solid stuff. One of the better offerings from Segall’s billion albums.”

6. Emotional Mugger 

“Emotional Mugger shows Ty Segall in his most disjointed form, shaped by heavy guitar riffs, fuzzy and funky sounds and distortions of melody. The extremes of the album abduct Ty further away from the clean and safe melodies from his previous work Manipulator. The lack of deep emotional feelings of the by internet affected society has to deal with some great pressure, where children from birth on are influenced by the mass media and the rapid developments in technology”

5. Sleeper 

“The first thought that stroke me when listening to this album was “wow, it sounds fresh, but still sounds like the late 60’s or 70’s”. As the album went by the singer/songwriter material got some folk inspirations, and there were a few tracks which got me thinking “wow, this sounds very Bob Dylan inspired”. Apart from the rather easy listening and catchy music, the album has rather good lyrics as well, so as a whole this one has a very pleasant touch to it and is actually very wellwritten with a bunch of thought behind it.”

4. Twins 

“Ty Segall has made an astonishing string of albums for a guy who looks so young. This album might be his high point. It has all the melodic hooks and vocal harmonies of it’s predecessors, but combines some of the thrashy sludge with smoothed out acoustic balladry that is surprisingly mature-sounding. The song Gold On The Shores is a modern classic, in my opinion, as are Inside Your Heart, and Would You Be My Love.”

3. Melted 

“Melted is far from a perfect album, and hardly an encapsulation of the weird and wild world of Ty Segall. But it represents a moment in time in which Segall is brimming with ideas and on the verge of his prolific breakout. It is my favorite nugget of the garage ethos from this millennium.”

2. Slaughterhouse 

“This record is the most satisfying “rock” record I’ve heard, second only to Funhouse by The Stooges. Although it’s not my favorite rock record, I feel it is perfectly grounded in what rock fundamentally is, even though I can’t really define it myself. There’s something very primal about this due to its live band recording. I’m unsure if it would feel the same if Ty had just recorded this under his usual name without other musicians. The riffs across this record are all really solid and equally mind-boggling.”

1. Manipulator 

“Manipulator is Ty Segall’s triumphant move from the garage to the studio, if not from the bar to the arena. It’s reminiscent of arena rock, yet it feels immediate and modern, not at all wholesomely nostalgic or cheesy. The energy and the musicianship ranges from solid to outstanding, especially on the guitar solos.”
