Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.

The album features energetic compositions with varied tempos but lacks standout production quality.
What we noticed
- The first three tracks feature driving tempos and energetic guitar riffs, establishing a high-energy opening.
- Several songs incorporate abrupt tempo shifts, particularly in 'I'm High' which transitions from a fast-paced section to a slower, reflective bridge.
- The lyrics often juxtapose light-hearted themes with deeper introspective moments, as seen in 'Man With a Woman's Chest'.
- The album closes with 'Camping Ground', which slows down the pace significantly, creating a sense of resolution.

Little footprint beyond its audience. 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.
