The Best of Eighteen Visions

The Best of Eighteen Visions is the third full-length album by metalcore band Eighteen Visions. Despite its title, it is not a compilation of previously-released material. All of the material was newly recorded especially for this release. Its title hints to the fact that for this release, the band chose the best material from their prior out-of-print releases and re-recorded these songs to create a new album. It also includes the newly-written song "Motionless and White".
