The Guardian
It’s a mountainously huge album, and faintly exhausting for that, but those majestic peaks are well worth the trek

NME
As 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

Exclaim
Built 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

The FT
Fuzz lay down intense psych-rock with thickly smeared riffs and snotty vocals, a style so fuzzy it takes onomatopoeia to extremes

The Line Of Best Fit
A record rife with crunching, distortion-riddled riffs that head forth alongside tightly knit rhythmical grooves

Consequence Of Sound
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

The production on II is cleaner than on Fuzz's first studio album without ironing out the nooks and crannies of the band's sound

Spin
II turns into background noise rather than something arresting; Segall’s restless creativity and reverence for musical history are certainly two of his best qualities, once he truly sharpens his self-editing skills, he’ll be unstoppable

While II has its stellar (and interstellar) moments, the band could use a little focus—otherwise they could risk becoming just a fuzzy memory

Tiny Mix Tapes
Much of II is well-executed fun, delivered by a trio whose tightness as musicians and songwriters has improved since their 2013 debut

Loud And Quiet
Is ‘II’ indulgent and overblown? Yes. Entertaining along the way? Yes as well
