Benefit compilations face a double-edged sword in that quality and cause both vie for attention. While the cause of a benefit compilation may certainly deserve merit, the quality of bands and/ or songs may not match the cause or vice versa. However, "In Defense of Animals 2" succeeds because of its worthy cause and the mostly unreleased tracks or remixes. Also, the bands featured represent the whole gamut of today's music scene, such as punk-pop (Elastica), hard rock (White Zombie), and laid-back electronica (the Orb). Other notable acts included are Bjork, Chemical Brothers, P.J. Harvey, Beastie Boys and Morphine. Animal rights record gathers good material
