Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.

What we noticed
- The first three tracks feature driving guitar riffs and steady percussion, establishing an energetic pace that is maintained until track four, which introduces a softer, more introspective sound.
- Several tracks incorporate layered vocal harmonies that enhance the emotional weight of the lyrics, particularly in 'Aideu' and 'Laughter Lines'.
- The album closes with 'Find Your Own Way Home', which features a gradual build-up leading to a climactic finish, contrasting with the more subdued earlier tracks.

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.

Find Your Own Way Home
The verse shifts into a contemplative tone where personal accountability is addressed through vivid imagery of searching and uncertainty.
This choice of imagery creates a stark contrast with earlier tracks that focus on external chaos, grounding the narrative in personal experience.
