Q MagazineDec 14, 2015II is propelled by Segall's forceful energy. [Jan 2016, p.111]
-
MojoDec 14, 2015A rich seam of molten psychedelic heaviness pitched between Black Sabbath and Blue Cheer. [Jan 2016, p.96]
-
MagnetNov 17, 2015Though only mildly collaborative, II us just as thrilling as many of Segall's finest works. [No. 126, p.57]
-
Oct 29, 2015Fuzz do one thing--creepy, heavy fuzz rock--but do it really well.
-
Oct 23, 2015II is another step forward for a band who were once a side project, but now stand firmly alone and away from the shade cast by others.
-
Oct 22, 2015It’s a mountainously huge album, and faintly exhausting for that, but those majestic peaks are well worth the trek.
-
Oct 21, 2015Almost all of II has a first-take rawness, well recorded, but without fuss.
-
Oct 21, 2015Built on a fuzzy foundation, II is as classic as a psychedelic-stoner-rock record can be, building on well-loved tropes but never hesitant to colour outside the lines.
-
Oct 21, 2015As the sprawling title-track brings the album to a close around the 67-minute mark, the heft of it all can feel overpowering, leaving you wishing for a more concentrated dose.
-
Nov 5, 2015Commencing the hourlong disc is brazen seven-minute opener "Time Collapse," its stoner psychedelia mash enduring throughout 14 tracks.
-
Oct 21, 2015If II proves anything, it’s that Fuzz remains a force to be reckoned with. Segall and co. have only honed their chops in the years since their debut, and it’s almost terrifying to project what will come in the next stage of their evolution.
-
Nov 3, 2015While II has its stellar (and interstellar) moments, the band could use a little focus--otherwise they could risk becoming just a fuzzy memory.
-
Oct 26, 2015If there’s a quibble with II, it’s that like most doubles, it would be more effective as a single disc.
-
Oct 22, 2015The production on II is cleaner than on Fuzz's first studio album without ironing out the nooks and crannies of the band's sound (the report of Moothart and Ubovich's amps is just as fierce and buzzy as ever), and listeners who resonate to Iommic frequencies will get a righteous shake from this music.
-
UncutOct 21, 2015While Fuzz II has some absolute stormers, some of the proto-metal songs are a little too ponderous to really click. [Nov 2015, p.76]
-
Nov 4, 2015Even considering all the high points and raw power, II falters under the weight of the band's ambition.
-
Oct 29, 2015All this studious box-ticking and attention-to-detail comes at a price, which is that II becomes more of a tribute to the music of yesteryear than, say, a work of art that’s relevant to the world surrounding it.
