This latest album features a number of previously unreleased songs, as wells as some of their demo tracks and various acoustic versions of their popular songs. Overall, there is enough new stuff here to interest fans, or new listeners. The addition of the 16 bit remix was a bit of a surprise, when that song played - I thought I'd jumped straight into a "Mario-themed" game. For a cheaper CD, there are plenty of songs on here, and almost all of them are brilliantly executed and well-written (Although a number of the tracks were written by other artists) - this album showcases Anberlin's diversity.

Some of these songs, have already been available on the special edition of their last album 'Cities', and the acoustic version of 'A Day Late' was available as a free download from their purevolume site for a short while. Even taking this into account, there is still plenty of material to get you hooked into their new album. This one is a 'must get'.
