Background

On the front cover of the album, it depicts a woman's hand as holds 3 cards of aces where photos of the band members are taken. On the back cover of the album's playlist graphically sophisticated, because each name is written in a different type and size and overall titles between them are randomly mixed.

The album is a cross-section of classic creation Scooter (Ace, Riot, The Birdwatcher, Torch) and modern dance styles (Encore, What You're Waiting for, Stargazer). The album among other Australian singer Vassy and Michael Maidwell, singer reggae group Orange Grove. Visiting male vocalists are not usual for the band. In more songs used sound guitars (electric, bass and acoustic), which is not common in the group.

In addition to the basic edition of the album was still released a limited version, which also includes a deck of cards (thematically the album cover) and a bracelet. The entire album is also in Digipak , compared to a plastic container in the basic edition.
