Aside from the re-recordings of songs from their 1987 Join the Army album, it also features re-recordings of No Mercy songs (including the previously released "Something Inside Me" and "No Mercy Fool!"), and the previously released "Come Alive" (from 2008's Year of the Cycos compilation album). Its cover art was created by designer Alan Pirie. [2]
