Elevation

Our rating, out of 100 — and why.

AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.

51 /100
Lowland
Higher than 2% of albums we've rated

The collection preserves forceful French hard-rock songwriting, but the remix insertions and live coda make it a survey rather than a carefully shaped album.

What we noticed

  • It opens with the studio version of “Antisocial,” then closes with a live medley of “Problem Child” and “Live Wire” followed by a live “Antisocial.”
  • The 17-track sequence interrupts its older material with two tracks explicitly marked as 1993 remixes, then shifts to live recordings for its final two tracks.

Sequencing 12% of the score

Influence 5/10

Significant within its genre. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
