REVIEW:

After all the rare and fascinating material on Outcesticide 1, Outcesticide 2 seems somewhat of a disappointment, as it contains only a trickle of never before released songs. Still, there is a bounty of treasures here; the live version of The Man Who Sold The World is absolutely pummeling, the two live covers are fun, (especially The End, with Krist singing a tribute to his favorite waffle restaurant) and two of the unreleased songs, Help Me, I'm Hungry and In His Hands are excellent. This disc is not on par with it's predecessor, but is well worth getting.
