    Though Tripper lacks the noisy experimentation of the band's earlier work, it makes up for that in sheer brutality.

    Tripper is the cleanest, leanest--and, arguably, most accessible--record Hella have made as a duo, showing off some fantastically tight playing and even a few hints of what their music desperately needs: clarity.

    This is the most blistering set the duo have put out in a long time. [No. 81, p. 56]

    There are enough flashes of brilliance on Tripper to make it a great album, but unfortunately enough little moments like that electronic groove on "Kid Life Crisis" to show that there's plenty more for them to reach for.
