“The Only One” has a clear metal influence, specifically with the cleaner sounding guitars. In this song, Segall is describing how he is fed up with someone who cannot shut up, possibly an ex lover, as this is a lyrical theme seen throughout the album. “Talkin” is an interesting break from the constant in and out of the previous track. Something about sitting through a 10-minute song sounds undesirable, but Segall captures the listener’s attention by constantly providing engaging sounds through the entire track.

After the calmness, the full band sound comes back and this pattern continues, making the listener feel like waking up from a dream and going back to sleep on repeat. “Warm Hands (Freedom Returned)”, a 10-minute track, and possibly the greatest of the album, has structurally messy guitar parts until the groove goes from garage glam rock to a quiet jazz influenced break. There is a clear focus on the instrumentation, specifically the sick guitar harmonies, and not so much the simplistic yet entertaining lyrics. The fuzzy guitar mixed with simplistic lyrics is a solid flashback for long term Ty Segall fans who cannot get enough of that FUZZ. The first track sets the tone for the whole album with an obvious influence from 70s rock. The album has 10 tracks, the last one being a 12-second “Untitled” song. This year’s release wasn’t as theatrical, but it was recorded with a full band in the studio, who are referred to as The Freedom Band. In 2016, he released Emotional Mugger, a concept album that was released with a website that had videos to explain his concept, “emotional mugging”. Ty Segall recently released his 9 th studio album titled Ty Segall on January 27, 2017 (not to be confused with his first self titled album in 2008).
