Elevation

Our rating, out of 100 — and why.

The songs and performances are consistently strong, but this compilation’s jumps between repertory make the sequence a survey rather than a unified work.

What we noticed

  • The sequence moves from “Me deixas louca” into “Madalena” and “Casa no campo,” then places “Águas de março” before the more dramatic “Atrás da porta.”
  • The final four tracks shift from “Cartomante” and “Querelas do Brasil” to “Aprendendo a jogar” and close on “O bêbado e a equilibrista.”
  • Sixteen songs are presented without an evident connective arc; the shifts in style and song character read as a career survey rather than one continuous album statement.

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.
