The album consists of new studio recordings of songs from across their catalog, deconstructed and reconstructed into so-called "Resurrected" versions, primarily in the acoustic format, and often accompanied by piano and strings. In addition to songs like "Dead Flowers (Resurrected)" and "The Heart of a Graveyard (Resurrected)," there was a "resurrected" version of a previously unheard song, "Praise the Void." The original version later appeared on the band's eleventh studio album, Exile. [5][6]
