The album is a selection of songs from Queen's heavier side. It also contained one new track, "No-One But You (Only the Good Die Young)", which is a gentle ballad. This song began life as a track for Brian May's solo album Another World (1998); the remaining members chose to record it as a bookend for their career as Queen. Thus far, it is the last original studio recording featuring Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon (and the first and only recording without Freddie Mercury).
