Elocation is the second studio album by Canadian hard rock band Default. It was released on November 25, 2003, by TVT Records. The rock[1] album spawned three singles, including the song "(Taking My) Life Away", which aired on Muzak's Power Rock station. This album failed to match the success of their debut, but is the band's second most commercially successful album being certified Gold in Canada.[2] The final track, an acoustic version of "Let You Down," originally appeared on their previous album.

The album was produced by Butch Walker and Nickelback's Chad Kroeger and contains a cover of the song "Cruel" by Jeff Buckley.

Critical reception

Tom Harrison of The Province rated the album three stars out of four. He thought that the band showed creative growth from their previous album.[3]
