Background

The album is the band's only compilation in their history, and only non-live or non-video release since dissolving in 2011. It was announced on October 6, with a statement from the band's record label reading (in part): "We get that the idea of 'Greatest Hits' may seem irrelevant in the era of streaming, but we also wholeheartedly believe that great bands deserve a 'Greatest Hits'".[15]
