Although The Un-Releases was released first, Will Save Us All is considered to be COS' official debut album because the former's content included bits of sound collages, taped conversations and moments in-between takes (The Re-Releases Of The Un-Releases was released later in 2000). Will Save Us All included four of the five singles released by the group since 1998 and combined cover songs such as "Warm Leatherette" and "Mind Your Own Business" and original songs. COS' cover of Malaria!'s "Kaltes Klares Wasser" was a subsequent single. COS collaborated with a diverse range of producers and DJs from the German techno scene to create the album.
The album was well received by critics, who praised in particular the reinterpretations of various 80s songs and the strength of COS' original compositions such as "Glamour Girl" and "Little Star" and took note of the implications of the group's politics that were largely manifested through a deliberate emphasis on style over substance in terms of both music and image.
