Elevation

Our rating, out of 100 — and why.

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

57 /100
Foothills
Higher than 5% of albums we've rated

Strong, sharply arranged source songs and carefully made videos carry the package, but the grouped making-ofs break its flow and the compilation has little identity as a standalon…

What we noticed

  • The first 13 entries are music videos; the next 13 are their making-ofs, interrupting the sequence before later clips begin.
  • The music-video sequence moves from early singles such as “Du riechst so gut” to later songs including “Mein Teil” and “Amerika”; this is a career-spanning selection, not a newly composed album arc.

Durability 25% of the score

whether it sounds like itself

Sequencing 12% of the score
3/10

Influence 2/10

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.
