Elation is the twelfth studio album by the American hard rock band Great White, released in May 2012.
[1] The album was announced on March 18, 2012,[1] for a release on May 18 in Europe and May 22 in North America on Frontiers Records[2] and also in Japan.
Jon Hotten reviewed the album positively for Classic Rock magazine, writing that "it shows some of the qualities that took (Great White) in their substantial heyday", when the band "made hard rockin' sound easy".
He praises Ilous' "rasping-throat role" and concludes that, despite the lack of killer hooks "of the kind that Great White had in abundance" the band still shows its musicianship.
