Cuts Unleashed SA2 Vocal Collection is a compilation of the seven theme songs of Sonic Adventure 2, plus one action stage theme, "Escape from the City". Just as was the case with the album releases of Sonic Adventure, the soundtrack was split in two, with this mini-album being released a month prior to the full game soundtrack, Multi-dimensional. The release itself came with a booklet containing linear notes from the composers, as well as a sticker featuring the images of Sonic and Shadow.

Miscellaneous
- Though labeled as the Vocal Collection, a number of other songs containing vocals within Sonic Adventure 2 including the entirety of Knuckles' playable levels are omitted from this release. More than likely, it was to maintain the pattern set up in the first Sonic Adventure, having the most prominent vocal tracks from the game (including the character theme songs) featured by themselves.
