Elevation

Our rating, out of 100 — and why.

Lowland
Higher than 4% of albums we've rated

The familiar songs carry the set, but its interleaved album cuts and final run of debut-era singles make it feel more like a concert document than a shaped standalone work.

What we noticed

  • The set alternates songs from the two studio albums for much of its length, then closes with three songs from Songs About Jane.
  • The 12-song running order ends on a cluster of the debut album’s familiar singles rather than returning to the newer material.

Influence 2/10

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.
