It's a leftovers album, and you can kinda tell. Still enjoyable, just not something you need to seek out.

I am always happy to hear another BOC album, and though I honestly would have preferred to hear a modern
follow-up to 2020s fantastic The Symbol Remains, this is an interesting time-capsule with a few genuine
highlights. Since this is just a collection of unreleased material from their middle period, Ghost Stories ends up
sounding like the missing link between Mirrors and Cultosaurus Erectus, and probably stacks up slightly better
than the former. The cover songs scattered throughout are live show staples and vary in quality. Kick Out The
Jams sounds pretty good, but We Gotta Get Out Of This Place and If I Fell, though fairly inoffensive, are probably
the least interesting tracks here. On the other hand, So Supernatural, Don’t Come Running To Me, and The Only
Thing are quite excellent, and everything else is pretty good. This is far from essential listening, but I think fans of
the band generally will be quite satisfied even with what the band left on the cutting room floor, and pleasantly
surprised to get a classic sounding BOC album in 2024.
