Elevation

Our rating, out of 100 — and why.

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

65 /100

Higher than 39% of albums we've rated

Strong songs and sharply individual performances reward return visits, but the catalogue-spanning selection has less sequencing logic and identity than a purpose-built album.

What we noticed

  • The sequence moves from the restrained opening of “A tratti” into the more forceful title track and “Tutti giù per terra,” then keeps shifting among songs from different periods.
  • “E ti vengo a cercare” and “Ederlezi” interrupt the run of original material with two covers, each bringing a different melodic tradition into the set.
  • “Del mondo” and “Velluto rosso” close the tracklist after a long survey of the catalogue, rather than resolving a continuous musical arc.

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.
