CRITIC REVIEWS

90
Uncut
Eight glorious tracks of heavy, frantic and, yes, extremely fuzzy, proto-metal.
81
Paste

R-I-F-F in all caps probably best describes this record, which steers clear of the garage, and instead shoots for the spaced-out proto-metal of Pentagram and Sir Lord Baltimore.

73
Pitchfork

The band is obviously very good at delivering infectious hooks with muscle and soul, but those moments only pop if there's a control in place to offset the heavier stuff. 

70
PopMatters

They have a connection, that much is clear, but don’t mistake this for something careless. In actuality, it’s effortless. A smooth combination of songcraft, playing ability, and fearless joy.

70
AllMusic

The main success of a band connected to Segall's enormous musical personality is to not be overwhelmed or outshined by it, and in its best moments, Fuzz will have listeners forgetting Segall is part of the equation at all, the album's brooding heaviness more immediately moving than any of his distinctive sonic ticks.

70
Consequence of Sound

The band’s self-titled record showcases Segall’s falsetto stylings over a stoner metal symphony, the prolific one taking on a different role, as the group’s drummer.

Under the Radar

It flat-out reeks of authenticity, and if you don’t know what authenticity smells like, it’s only because FUZZ is still holding in the smoke.
