I feel like this Hancock album is often overlooked simply because of the fact that it came a year after the majestic and legendary Head Hunters. Sure, it is a superior album in both execution and ideas but Thrust can readily stand by its own as an awesome album made by Herbie during his prime creative time. While both albums a very approachable I think Thrust is a much more laid back and has riffs that are demand less of your focus. I don't mean that in a bad way by no means at all. There's nothing in it that's out to get you, everything just kinda flows together. The focus is still so much on keyboards but all the instruments are mixed at similar sound levels and I like that. It feels like the band is just one large stream of grooves. Awesome stuff.
