Dec 2, 2015Ty Rex is also an album-length acknowledgment of Bolan's core strengths. Throughout, Segall plays it straight—the solos are never excessively flashy (sticking close to the originals) and the recording quality is slightly muffled... Of course, it's a Ty Segall record, so he still brings some of that fire.

Dec 2, 2015It works well as a fun stop-gap before Segall’s next solo effort, ‘Emotional Mugger’, arrives in January.

UncutJan 12, 2016Overall, it's rather slight and inevitably rough around the edges.... But there's still considerable entertainment to be had from Segall's urgent renditions of "Cat Black: and "Buick Mackane" while his take on "The Slider" and "20 Century Boy" are magnificent reboots.

Dec 2, 2015The record has an unfinished, ramshackle quality to it, almost as if Segall recorded it on a whim, but it's still explosive--nothing seems preordained or fussed over.

Dec 2, 2015One interesting thing about Ty Rex is how Segall nicely balances the more familiar glam/Seventies side of Bolan with the early folky-faerie side that characterized his Sixties output.
