Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
Comic premises and the waltz detour give the songs a clear identity, while the joke-driven writing offers less depth on repeat listens.
What we noticed
- A short track titled “Ma baraque aux Bahamas (intro)” leads directly into the full “Ma baraque aux Bahamas,” making the joke a two-part setup and payoff.
- “Chinese Democracy” is explicitly framed as a Chinese waltz; the album places this stylized detour between “Les Princes du parc” and “Seul et célibataire 2.”
- The twelve songs end with “Canal Saint-Martin”; the remaining catalogued tracks are concert and behind-the-scenes extras, not part of the album’s song sequence.

Known within its scene. 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.
