Miracles is the sixth public album by the group Two Steps From Hell, released in June 2014. It consists of 21 tracks written entirely by composer Thomas J. Bergersen.[1] This album predominantly features material selected from earlier demonstration albums, including Dreams & Imaginations, Illumina, Two Steps From Heaven, and Volume One. However the title track, "Compass", and "Stay" are brand new tracks. The previously unreleased tracks "Sun Gazer," "Eyes Closing," "My Freedom," "Perfect Love", and "Wind Queen" appear with various tweaks and embellishments.
Upon the request of fans,[2] the album is a collection of the group's "ethereal", "emotional", "relaxing" and "dreamy" tracks, described as the "counterpart" to the more epic, upbeat tracks that have appeared on past releases.[3] The cover and sleeve are designed by Steven R. Gilmore.[3]
Tracks 4, 5, 9, 10, and 17 are reworked versions from their original releases.
The critique at IFMCA-associated reviews website, MundoBSO,[4] was positive, highlighting its "moments of careful lyrical beauty". It was rated seven out of ten stars.[5]
