    Exverclear was my favorite band growing up, but since So Much For The Afterglow their lyrics and music have changed dramatically. My hopes for a Everclear "return to form" were quickly diminished in this heap of turd.

    This CD is about on the same level as Vol. 1, but it includes my favourite Everclear track.

    i am a huge everclear fan but the album seems disjointed. However i'm pretty sure that "Out of My Depth" is the best Everclear song recorded to date.

    As a recent convert to Everclear via the excellent Vol 1, I was a little nervous about what lay in store afterwards. However, I needn't have worried as although this is a lot harder and faster than Vol 1, there are still plenty of melodic tunes and great riffs to keep a vol 1 addict entertained. The superb "Song from an American Movie part 2" is a fitting climax to a great follow-up As a recent convert to Everclear via the excellent Vol 1, I was a little nervous about what lay in store afterwards.

    It has a great mixture of fast rock and still stays in tune with their old.

    Sharper, edgier, and more twisted than its predecessor, Vol. Two is like a throwback to Everclear's early days, before So Much for the Afterglow launched the Portland trio into the arena rock stratosphere.

    'Vol. One' might have opened the band up to a wider audience but 'Vol. Two' is a far better reflection of what Everclear are all about.

    While there are blips in all areas of life - the possible existence of Bigfoot, the rich and strange wildlife of Madagascar - few things cast more suspicion upon the whole survival-of-fittest concept than the continuing career of Everclear.
