"Vurdering: A-" - "As soon as we start to believe that classic guitar rock is continuing its slow descent into a fading, obsolete form, an album like Manipulator comes along to restore the faith. It's all at once contemporary enough to thrive in a market that demands constant innovation, yet nostalgic enough to shepherd the spirit of a bygone era on which the genre is founded. Segall keeps this narrative viable thanks to the infectious, combustive, seemingly unending energy he has for his craft".
