Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
Rap-and-sung vocal contrasts and tightly built hooks give the original sequence a clear identity; the appended archive material is separate from its well-paced 12-track shape.
What we noticed
- The original 12-track sequence alternates rap-led verses with Chester Bennington’s sung choruses, often shifting from clipped, tense verses into louder guitar-heavy hooks.
- “Cure for the Itch” strips away the vocal-guitar format for a turntable-led instrumental before “Pushing Me Away” closes the original album.
- The anniversary edition appends remixes, demos and live performances after the original sequence, so its 24-track length is not the pacing of the 2000 album.

Defined its genre or moment. 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.
