  • Reviewed by Kefka X (9/7/06):
    With the much-anticipated sequel to last millennium’s six-track teaser, Leaders Not Followers, Napalm Death dishes out something new from the old with 19 cover tracks, translated into conventional in-your-face grindcore. Essentially this Napalm Death album of covers plays like...a bunch of covers played by Napalm Death. Some of these are true gems, and it's fun to listen to songs by Sepultura, Kreator, and Agnostic Front blasted through.

    There will always be two fans of Napalm Death: fans of the old-school grindcore, and fans of the new-school metal-infused grind. Leaders Not Followers: Part 2 features almost all covers from the 80's decade of hardcore, thrash, and traditional death, so the old-schoolers will respect this more than the latter. Still, Napalm Death is Napalm Death, and there's something for everyone here.

    A good listen, but not necessary.
    3 out of 5
