The name ''[[Cloaca Maxima]]'' means "Great Sewer" in [[Latin]], and was also the name of the band before it was shortened to CMX. The compilation consists of three CDs named ''Lyijy'', ''Helium'' and ''Uraani'' respectively. The names of the CDs are all names of [[chemical element]]s in [[Finnish language|Finnish]]: [[Lead]], [[Helium]] and [[Uranium]]. The compilation is divided between CDs in a similar way to the earlier ''Cloaca Maxima''. ''Lyijy'' contains rock songs that CMX would usually play on stage, while ''Helium'' focuses on softer material. ''Uraani'' is reserved for B-sides of singles and some other CMX rarities. Three new songs were recorded exclusively for the compilation. ==Track listing== All songs written by CMX with lyrics by [[A. W.
