    All Music Guide Review

    Buy Product 2: Brief Encounters is another label sampler from Geffen Records, spotlighting highlights from their roster of alternative roster. Certainly there are some great songs on here, ranging from album tracks like Garbage's "Vow" and Beck's "Novacane" to B-sides and rarities like Elastica's demo of "Blue" and Sonic Youth's instrumental version of "Little Trouble Girl." In between, there are some intriguing tracks, as well as some mediocre ones. No listener will like every song on the album -- there are simply too many songs from too many different genres for this to be consistently engaging for every listener. Nevertheless, the album is a diverse and frequently entertaining sampler available at an extremely affordable budget price. If you just want to try some of these bands out, Buy Product 2 is very helpful indeed. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
