Elevation

Our rating, out of 100 — and why.

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

50 /100
Foothills
Higher than 23% of albums we've rated

Doro blends heavy metal with accessible hooks, but the album's cohesion suffers from its length and varied lyrical themes.

What we noticed

  • The first three tracks maintain a high energy level with driving guitar riffs and aggressive drumming, setting a fierce tone for the album.
  • Doro's vocal delivery alternates between powerful belting and melodic phrasing, particularly evident in tracks like 'Love Me in Black' and 'Kiss Me Good-Bye'.
