Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
The album showcases complex compositions and strong performances, though its cohesion dips due to varied track styles.
What we noticed
- The album opens with a high-energy track, 'VROOOM', which sets a fast tempo and introduces complex polyrhythms that recur throughout.
- Several tracks feature abrupt transitions between sections, such as 'Dinosaur' and 'THRAK', creating a sense of unpredictability.
- The use of dual guitars is prominent, often layering intricate melodies over dense rhythmic patterns, particularly in 'B’Boom' and 'VROOOM VROOOM'.
- The final track, 'VROOOM VROOOM: Coda', revisits themes from earlier songs, providing a cyclical structure to the album.

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.
