Mixing Differences
Notably, the compilation offers different mixing for some songs as compared to the SoundCloud singles counterpart. Examples of this include the sound effect of weapons being fired in the beginning of I will Make you bleed which is absent from the SoundCloud release. Along with this, the compilation version of I'm Lost is slowed down and has an added air raid siren sound effect.
Legacy
Despite its impact, the release of this compilation would be the only project of this size released under the moniker Gravity Boys marking the transition towards their Drain Gang project.
