The album featured a more basic, sing-along type punk rock sound that was reminiscent of the band's late 1970s and early 1980s output.
The late 1990s found the band's lineup in turmoil, with Wimpy Roy leaving the band after a decade and a half of service and Kuba joining to play bass from 1997 until 2001.
Keithley experimented with different bassists and drummers and released the album ''Festival Of Atheists'' in 1998. By the early 2000s, the band had found a permanent drummer in the form of The Great Baldini. In 2002, Keithley put out his first solo album, ''Beat Trash'', and original bassist Randy Rampage returned to the band after nearly 20 years for the ''Win The Battle'' album. However, the reunion did not last, with Rampage leaving the band again after the recording of the album, to be replaced by Dan Yaremko.
''The Lost Tapes'' was the first release on Keithley's revived Sudden Death label, followed by ''Festival Of Atheists''.
During this period, Keithley also oversaw the re-release of the band's classic early records on Sudden Death, several of which had been out of print for many years.
