The sceamo kingpins Silverstein have combined the tracks from their first two EP’s on one disc and added some bonus tracks among which an acoustic version of "My Heroine" and "Call It Karma" and three live tracks. This way the fans of the more than acclaimed band get an insight in the first steps that the band made in the scene. Nice for the new fans. The compilation give a good insight in the development of the music and is prove that the band has come quite a way.

The bonus tracks are a real treat. I was especially surpised with the quality of the vocals in the acoustic tracks that are performed by Shane Told solo. “My Heroine” is without doubt my favorite. The live tracks were recorded at the 9:30 club, Washington D.C. and Starland Ballroom, NJ and turned up on the compilation without polishing. They capture the energy of the band on stage.
