Herbie Hancock – Thrust

"This album is a mind-blowing adventure into high-tech funk music, with layers of melodies, rhythms and riffs spinning intricate patterns around each other to form one orgy of sound. It baffles with its rhythmical technicality but it's at the same time irresistibly catchy. The result is magnificent. This is as good as funk can get." (progarchives. com)

"This supertight jazz-funk quintet album still sounds invigorating a quarter of a century later." (All Music Guide)

"Thrust may not be a great album, but I do think it is a very fine artifact from the era." (progreviews. com)

"The rhythm, improvisation and feeling inspire many young musicians nowadays and hopefully will do the same in the future." (allaboutjazz. com)
