Elevation

Our rating, out of 100 — and why.

Higher than 75% of albums we've rated

A durable Mandarin pop songbook, anchored by 後來; its late序曲-to-四月天 pairing gives the sequence a modestly shaped close.

What we noticed

  • The title track opens the album, with 後來 placed second rather than saved for the closing stretch.
  • 序曲 is track ten and leads directly into 四月天, giving the final song a brief setup within the sequence.
  • The middle run from Love through 不想回家 keeps the album in song form without a separate instrumental break.

Defined its genre or moment. 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.
