Sep 8, 2014I can't believe that no one has submitted a review for this album yet! Segall may be a prolific album maker but quantity and quality don't always go together and some of his previous offerings have been a bit patchy IMHO. Manipulator on the other hand is a joy to listen to pretty much from start to finish. It could have benefited from being a bit shorter, but overall his best album yet by far.

Nov 21, 2014This is an excellent, huge album from Ty, there are a lot of catchy hooks, almost to the point where some songs seem like B-sides of the others, that's alright with me though, Manipulator is a good time and an inviting listen, and worth revisiting many more times.

Mar 5, 2015Segall's influences are heard loud and clear in Manipulator, T-Rex in particular. After many listens, I'm still uncertain if the album is homage to or pure plagiarism. Either way, the album sounds strong from start to finish and contains a number of tunes that will get you movin'.

Aug 16, 2015Manipulator is an exciting, fresh, modern take on the garage rock sound. It also represents a significant step forward in production for Segall and co. 8.4/10

Sep 5, 2014Manipulator affording him space to rise above his obvious points of reference and create the one thing no one envisioned for album number seven: Ty Segall as both uncompromised AND accessible artist. The complete package.
