SarahWJan 5, 200510I'm listening to it now and I adore it. On the whole, not quite as opulent as Want One, but the quieter moments on this album are what make it one of his best to date.

GaryRDec 6, 20048Very interesting - especially the uncompromising opening track "Agnus Dei", it sounds like Rufus is singing a raga alapana co-written by Richard Strauss or Wagner - definitely not for those looking for any kind of "modern" sensibility.

GoblinskiLJun 1, 20053The most self-obsessed, self-indulgent album I have ever heard. It's lavish to the point of being sickly with no effort to write a proper melody, to sing beyond a lazy nasal drone and no compassion towards anyone but Rufus Wainwright.

PhilippeDJul 24, 20079Again, a very personnal album. Little Sister, The Art Teacher and Waiting For A Dream are amazing songs. He's voice is simply beautiful and he sounds like nobody else. Keep making those albums Rufus.

JessicaKNov 17, 20049I don't believe that I've ever heard anything quite like this before. The scope of this album is amazing; the lyrics and orchestrations, beautiful, haunting, and tragic. Want Two is unusual, different from Wainwright's other work, but the difference shows the artist's progression and daring. I have waited long for this album, and Want Two has proved well worth the wait.

madslDec 1, 20057Sure rufus is a great talent but he still has a problem of how to use it to the best effect. His singing voice is obviously very good but the way he uses it is tiring as well...plus the melodies on Want two is not as sharp as his earlier material. Still we are lucky to have people like him working in music and contributing to the musical education of todays younger generation

RobbieCNov 10, 20076Good, but not great. The ugly step-sister of Want One, which was amazing, ostentatious, and honest, this album is simply pretentious. But still sometimes good.

JonBDec 13, 200410Rufus Wainwright makes yet another amazing album. The music is breathtaking and you won't find a more talented artist working in music today. Want two is the best album of 2004.

Demanding and artful, he just may be this generation's Joni Mitchell. [5 Dec 2004]

70His voice is beautiful, his phrasing adventurous and his arrangements intense.... But the material could stand a bit of pruning

It didn't seem possible, but Wainwright gets more florid and over-the-top with each new album. [19 Nov 2004, p.82]
