COOL!
I'm not sure what to think. On one hand I am incredibly intrigued by several of the possibilities and the "new" sounds... on the other hand, 8 songs per disc? Seriously? Also I am a little baffled by the leaving outs of I'm Alive, Into the Storm, The Soulforged, and/or Battlefield. There's clearly room for these. How do you open shows with a song for over a decade and not include it on a Greatest Hits Album?
Memories of a Time to Come
Posted on Thursday, November 10th, 2011
Finally, after all these years, we have found the time to gather our most worthy songs into a best of compilation, representative of our career’s first 25 years. From the very beginning it was important for us to undertake this project only if we could put the necessary time and attention to detail into it. With overwhelming nostalgia we have looked back on 25 years and came up with Memories of a Time to Come, an organic mixture of some of our greatest songs.
COOL!
