After a couple of listens this might be his best album yet but I'm not a big fan of him. Everything he's done so far is notable but I can't find anything really oustanding, which is a shame.

My view coincides with this bit taken from Pitchfork's review, which is fairly positive:
"...and, really, they could all be singles here. But that’s a comment on both Segall’s consistent craftsmanship and the songs’ very similar sense of scale, the latter of which ultimately prevents Manipulator from becoming the career-crowning milestone its protracted gestation period suggested. Manipulator may be 50 percent longer than the average Ty Segall record, but it doesn’t always make the case that it had to be. The issue isn’t song quality so much as a flattened topography..."

Everything he's done so far is notable but I can't find anything really oustanding, which is a shame. This is the problem I tend to have with his work. Almost every track on the new record I think to myself "this isn't bad" but nothing really grabs me. As garage-rock it isn't raw or exciting enough. As psych-rock it isn't interesting enough & his floaty style of vocals really doesn't appeal. Not to say that I'm not enjoying the new record, but I'm surprised that so many people are raving about something which is pretty far from being anything special. |
