앨범 하나로 아이언 메이든이라는 거대한 그룹을 가늠해보기를 원한다면, Rock in Rio 와 더불어 추천하는 앨범.(물론 2cd버전) 블레이즈와 작업한 곡중 매우 완성도가 높은 Virus가 수록되어있어서 가치를 더한다.

신곡 "Virus"와 밴드의 대표곡 15곡을 수록한 Compilation 앨범이다. 단 한 장의 음반으로 Iron Maiden을 즐기고 싶다면 본작을 추천한다. 하지만, 77분이라는 짧은 시간에 아이언 메이든이라는 거대한 밴드의 매력을 모두 담아내는 것은 무리가 있다.

이것이야 말로 지구상의 모든 편집엘범이 지향했었어야 할 모범사례이다. 최고의 수록곡과 미공개곡, 라이브, 두툼하고 볼 가치가 있는 부클릿의 각종자료 - 게다가 1CD와 2CD의 버전으로 출시되었다. 아이언 메이든판 구약성서라고 해도 모자람이 없다.
