Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
Its tightly edited speech-and-guitar writing makes language itself a source of rhythm and melody, and the recurring material rewards close returns.
What we noticed
- Spoken Québécois snippets are cut into rhythmic and melodic figures, with guitar answering and extending their phrases rather than simply accompanying them.
- Most tracks are divided into lettered movements; the FLQ manifesto returns first as a vocal segment and later as an instrumental.
- The titles and recurring voices make the record feel assembled from a shared public soundscape, while the final track, “On peut parler,” stands alone after the multipart sequences.

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.
