Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the definitive, single-disc introductory compilation to the legendary progressive rock group, it abandons their trademark album-oriented sequencing in favor of a straightforward greatest-hits approach. It spans their most universally recognized, stadium-sized anthems, providing an accessible entry point to their deeply conceptual, heavily atmospheric catalog. The release was a massive commercial success that cemented their legacy for a new decade.
