    Ably coaxed on and assembled by Ward--whose input ought not to be overlooked--Volume Two is an outstanding collection of tracks worthy of any discerning listener's undivided attention.

    In the end, Volume Two is a showcase of Deschanel's and Ward's best traits--Ward's production and composition and Deschanel's intelligence and magnetism.
  3. No Ripcord

    Where Volume One was strongest was simply the quality of the songs (try getting Why Do You Let Me Stay Here? out of your head in a hurry), yet there's something sadly lacking about Volume Two, and what previously sounded like finely-crafted homage is now often more like impotent pastiche.

    This is my first review. I had to do one on Volume Two because everyone needs to know how wonderful it is. If you haven't bought it you really should. M. Ward's arrangements are fantastic and Zooey Deschanel's lyrics are exceptional yet again. The best part though is her voice. This album is almost perfect from song one until the very end. Enjoy this sunny gem or you'll really be missing out!… Expand
