5.0 out of 5 stars
a major album from an astonishing talent,
By A Customer
This review is from: Thrill (Audio CD)
Thrill is an even better CD than the estimable Wishbone - more cohesive, less studio gimmickry that allows that powerful voice to transmit these devastatingly TRUE songs so directly. A couple of hard rockers, a couple of torch songs, some goofy cabaret arrangements: this woman knows about the battleground of love. Aimee Mann and Fiona Apple come off as mere girls compared to Eleni, PJ Harvey would be so lucky to sing so well or write songs that you actually sing for days. I'm so bored with pop hype, but this is an album you'll carry for a lifetime.

ELENI IS AMAZING!,

This review is from: Thrill (Audio CD)
Very simply, Eleni Mandell writes and performs remarkable music. Her music is definitely some of the best to come out of the last 10 years and I'm so grateful I discovered her.
I'm a HUGE fan, and THRILL is one my favorites. Her lyrics are so evocative and her performance of her songs is fantastic.There really isn't anyone I can compare her to because she's THAT original. Her lyrics are poetic yet gritty, her songs are sophistocated yet authentic and primitive too. I feel about her the way some people feel about Fiona Apple, Billie Holiday or Joni Mitchell. Maybe some would find her music idiosyncratic but I find it soulful, smart, moving, clever and entertaining.

Eleni should be *way* more popular!,
By Natalie "Wickeddoll" (Fabulous Las Vegas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thrill (Audio CD)
This is a woman who never fails to be adventurous, tantalizing, and innovative. I first heard cuts from this CD on the soundtrack for 'Monkeybone' (A perfectly ghastly film, starring Brendon Fraser). Her song, "Pauline" plays during the dreamworld scene of that film, and I went bananas, just trying to track it down. I read the credits to the film, but since the name "Pauline" wasn't mentioned very clearly in the film, it was not easy to figure out who/what the song was. I have all of Eleni's CDs except her foray into country (Sorry, but I can't listen to that, even from Eleni). "Thrill" is my favorite of her CDs, with numerous sly, funky, and mysterious songs. The only other artist as mercurial as Eleni would be my all-time favorite musician, David Byrne, late of the group "Talking Heads"
