Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
Strong thematic funk writing and assured arrangements carry the score, though the succession of scene cues makes it feel more episodic than fully shaped as an album.
What we noticed
- The opening title track sets a low, loping funk groove; the closing End Theme brings the score back to that title-frame rather than ending on a vocal song.
- Short, scene-named cues such as “Pursuit of the Pimpmobile” and “Hospital Shootout” interrupt the fuller songs, giving the middle of the album a soundtrack-like, episodic pace.
- The longer vocal tracks sit among instrumental passages, while bass, wah guitar, horns and strings keep the cue changes within the same 1970s funk palette.

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.
