Considering most of the songs on this record were ones the band had been playing for several years, the performances sound surprisingly fresh. "Touch of Grey" is here, of course, as are "Throwing Stones," "West L.A. Fadeaway" and "Hell in a Bucket," to name a few. If I were to buy one late-period studio CD however, it would be The Arista Years, which contains the best tracks from each of their Arista albums, including five from In the Dark.
