The album features such notable tracks as "Exciter", considered an early precursor to speed metal and thrash metal, a cover version of "Better by You, Better than Me" by Spooky Tooth, which became the subject of an infamous civil suit in 1990 which alleged the song subliminally influenced two teenaged boys to make a suicide pact and “Beyond the Realms of Death” which is considered one of the band’s greatest songs by many fans and frequently included in the band’s live setlist.
