A lot of Lost Dogs is hardly worth any great pursuit. The unreleased "Hold On" is moan-and-drone PJ boilerplate, where a Wilson Phillips cover would've delighted; "Alive" B-side "Wash" is a jam-wank "Black"; "Dirty Frank" sadly apes the Red Hot Chili Peppers' anemic funk-rock. But some stuff is worthwhile. There's the 2000 outtake "Fatal" and the haunting seven-inch curio "Dead Man" (originally recorded for the soundtrack to Dead Man Walking) that showcase the band's folk-punk side. Then there are goofs like the surf cover "Gremmie Out of Control," which counters the accepted notion that Eddie Vedder is incapable of laughter. Consequently, Lost Dogs is an uneven flow of unearthed treasure and fool's gold.
