Comments: What is this???  It almost looks as if these 214 guys were originally intending to re-release Triumphant Return, but suddenly decided at the last minute to take out a few songs and insert some songs from the first two Whitecross albums, and call it a "best-of".  SEVEN (count em - SEVEN) of these eleven songs are from Triumphant Return.  The front and rear inserts are all but identical to those of Triumphant Return minus a couple details.  Even the track number of ALL SEVEN of the songs from Triumphant Return match those on the original release.  (And what do you know, the total CD time is virtually the same as Triumphant Return too.)  I am continually amazed by the attempt at cheap profits through best-of compilations based on two albums, or in this case, one album.  No wonder 214 Records only lasted a few years.
