I reviewed First Generation some months ago and it is only appropriate that I review Second Generation too. A bit of a pointless compilation album in my view. But the music is good, so.........

The album starts with five of the best ever VDGG songs. The Undercover Man, Scorched Earth, The Sleepwalkers, Pilgrims and Still Life. It is hard to get any better than this. For those who want to find out what VDGG is all about; listen to The Undercover Man. Their DNA, life and whole purpose can be found in those seven minutes. The rest is excellent too. The remaining four tracks of this nine tracks compilation album does nothing for me. But then again; I am a fan of their earlier material. If you find this album cheap somewhere; go for it. If not; get the studio albums instead.
