Slice Thrills up into its individual pieces, and Ellen Allien's third studio record is flawless.
-
Thrills hits upon a unique and confident path that doesn’t seem forced or contrived.
-
Ellen Allien's Thrills supports the truism, not always easy to hear from the outside, that not all beat-driven techno works primarily as dance music.
-
She's onto some good shit here, but there's too much learning on the job.
-
UrbShe's made some excellent and creative dancefloor techno here, but like so much great techno of the past, it fails to gel into a definitive album. [Jul/Aug 2005, p.99]
-
Thrills is technical to a “T” and plenty competent, but its lack of stylistic push or spread marks its void of hunger or ambition, a space that the mechanized heart of Berlinette nearly pumped blood into.
-
In a genre that’s desperate for new ideas, Allien’s lack of advancement on Thrills makes for a little less enjoyment.
