  1. Slice Thrills up into its individual pieces, and Ellen Allien's third studio record is flawless.
  2. Thrills hits upon a unique and confident path that doesn't seem forced or contrived.
  3. In a genre that's desperate for new ideas, Allien's lack of advancement on Thrills makes for a little less enjoyment.

    I think this record is her strongest and it definitely is geared towards the dance floor. it reminds me of the darker, moody, techno that tresor label acts do so well. this record is total class. Expand
