Outtakes for the Outcast is a compilation album by New York City hardcore punk band Sick of It All. It contains unreleased original songs, B-sides, and cover versions. It was the last album released by the band on Fat Wreck Chords before their move to Abacus Recordings.
Critical reception PopMatters wrote that "there's plenty for hardcore SOIA fans/completists to enjoy on Outtakes for the Outcast, and even folks who can't imagine listening to hardcore music might find something to their liking." Ox-Fanzine gave the album a 7/10 adding "The runtime is a bit on the short side, and the booklet could have been more elaborate. Nevertheless, "Outtakes for the Outcast" is no mere collection of leftovers; it is a solid, expertly crafted release bearing the Sick of It All seal of quality."
Track listing
Notes The House of Pain remix of "Just Look Around" was originally prevented from release by the record label of House of Pain. As a response Sick Of It All made bootlegs of the song and gave them away at various shows. Since the original recording tape could not be used, the version on this CD was taken from one of the bootlegs.
