 and was announced on December 8, 2010 alongside news of the breakup and "Arkeology MMXI" Tour . The compilation simply collects all the bands singles but there are a few interesting notes about the selection: "Deliver us from Free Will" was only released as a promo single in some European countries; "Trust is Shareware" was re-recorded for its single release yet the album version is included here; "Stay With Me" was remixed for its single release but an all new version appears here; two new songs "Breaking Up With God" and "The Apocalypse is Over" will be featured with the former being released as a single. Both of the new songs will serve as the final recordings by the band.
