One of the best if not even the best thing Gamma Ray ever released. The track list is amazing ("Rich & Famous" still sucks but it can be forgiven since it's bonus track), definitely better than on any singular GR album. The re-recorded songs sound great, even better than the originals. If I compare these re-records and old songs, IMO the re-records sound more like Gamma Ray. No disrespect towards Ralf, but truth is: Kai did better job on vocals for these songs. Pretty much an essential album for anyone who likes the band.

It's such a shame this compilation is so difficult to find anywhere as it's the best experience of Gamma Ray. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get into power metal.
