The album is not a greatest hits album, as it omits MxPx' more well-known singles "Responsibility" and "I'm OK, You're OK," but is considered a retrospective of the first ten years of the band. The booklet accompanying the CD features many previously unreleased photographs of the band and a detailed timeline of moments in their career.
