Change the World: An Introduction is a compilation by the American heavy metal band Dokken, released on 11 October 2004 through Sanctuary UK. As the title suggests, it is pitched at newcomers, gathering the band's work into a single starting point for anyone who wants to get to know them.
It arrived in the same year as Hell to Pay, the band's tenth studio album, and comes after a catalogue that began with Breaking the Chains in 1981 and ran through Tooth and Nail, Under Lock and Key and Back for the Attack in the mid-to-late 1980s. If you are curious about Dokken but unsure which record to try first, a collection like this is a sensible way in before you pick an album to explore properly.
