Elevation

Our rating, out of 100 — and why.

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

88 /100
Summit
Higher than 99% of albums we've rated

Patient builds, a striking mid-album cover, and a forceful closer make the slow pacing feel intentional; the arrangements reward return without losing their austere focus.

What we noticed

  • “Cupe vampe” opens at a slow, deliberate pace, building from a sustained, spare texture rather than announcing itself with a full-band rush.
  • The title track arrives sixth, after the Battiato cover “E ti vengo a cercare”; the album places its own central statement well past the opening stretch.
  • “Irata” closes the ten-track sequence with a more forceful, extended finish, giving the record a late rise in intensity.

Influence 6/10

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.
