The album consists of new studio recordings of songs from across their catalog, deconstructed and reconstructed into "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]
