Next up, 2004's tongue-pierces-cheek-impales-next-door-neighbor Lavatory Love Machine maxi-single found Edguy playing dress-up as an '80s glam metal band, espousing the finer merits of joining the mile-high club while en route to Brazil! Needless to say, the entire exercise seems like it was such preposterously good fun that the group decided to dive headlong into an acoustic version, too, before tackling a similarly stripped-down cover of Europe's 1991 single 'I'll Cry for You' (after which many listeners may be crying, too). Sequenced in reverse chronological order, they begin with six tracks from 2005's decidedly tongue-in-cheek Superheroes that are evenly split between workmanlike fare such as the hard-rocking opening title track (also available in an 'epic version' later on), token power ballad 'Blessing in Disguise,' and acoustic-driven Magnum cover 'The Spirit' and much more interesting, emphatic efforts such as 'Spooks in the Attic' (a song Iron Maiden would frankly kill to write these days) and the Michael Kiske-assisted 'Judas at the Opera' (which eventually outlasts a forgettable power metal opening for a nice change of pace - or eight - and passages that sound like Styx!).

This rather misleadingly named release from German power metal stalwarts Edguy is not really the greatest-hits set one might understandably assume, but rather a compendium of 14 songs originally spread across three separate EPs, released between 20 by the prolific group.
