Feb 9, 2016Not as safe as Manipulator, but some of the tunes on this are among the heaviest that Segall has ever recorded, I can respect it. It's a little less driving but a lot more daring.

Jan 25, 2016What a massively disappointing follow up to the brilliant Manipulator. Segall may be a prolific album maker but quantity and quality don't always go together as this offering proves in my humble opinion
An almost unlistenable, cacophonic noise for the most part. -

Jan 22, 2016Maybe ive been hidden away from talent for the last decade but ive never heard anything like this before. It was **** amazing! Recommend to anyone prepared to listen.

Apr 28, 2016Time signatures change gears with neck-snapping regularity, underpinned by Cronin's Krautrock bass, and a Devo-esque "concept" involves Segall as a masked, Booji Boy-ish character named Sloppo.

Apr 18, 2016The main two highlights are the strutting “Mandy Cream” and the bass-heavy closer “The Magazine,” with rapid-fire handclaps coming in during the choruses and a sustained falsetto melody recalling Yes’ “We Have Heaven.”

MagnetFeb 12, 2016Though there’s nothing too saccharine on Emotional Mugger (even the line “I want your candy” on “Breakfast Eggs” is more of a threat than a statement of desire), the melodies are some of the strongest Segall has ever turned out. [No. 128, p.56]
