Like Marc Bolan fronting Black Sabbath with John Cale behind the boards.

Listened to this one a few times. Surprised on the use of synthesizers but love the unhinged tones they are bringing here. Sonically everything here sounds great and the short run-time makes it a nice encapsulation of Ty Segall. The whole baby aesthetic is creepy and unsettling though, likely intentional though. The KEXP performance where he asks the host "Will you be my mommy?" "...uh ok" "Yaaaay!!" was hilarious and uncomfortable but, I'm sure it's all part of the plan. W.u.o.t.w.s. was a surprising addition, it's like Ty Segall's Revolution 9. 4.5 down to 4. Love: Squealer, Emotional Mugger, Squeaker Two, W.u.o.t.w.s., The Magazine

I absolutely HATE the cover art. I mean, absolutely horrible. Mostly just dissonant noise with a hint of melody with no hook, which is not my bag. No hate if this is your thing, I can see musicality in it. It's just not what I enjoy listening to.
