On Leaders Not Followers: Part 2, 19 of the most brutal speedcore, Satanic-metal, and thrash songs ever recorded are compiled, drained of all life, and transformed into uninspired filler by Napalm Death. The grindcore progenitors took time off from their usual relentless assault to pay tribute once again to some of the genre’s greatest inspirations: Discharge, Siege, Anti Cimex, Sepultura, Agnostic Front, and many more. Unfortunately, this boring collection has far more educational than musical value. The ever-changing Napalm Death lineup gives each of the would-be ferocious tracks the same rage-by-numbers treatment, while Mark "Barney" Greenway croaks along incoherently.
