    Calvin Harris has become absorbed by the success of his past work, and now has created a body of work that can be seen as a money-grab. With big featuring artists and big production, the album unravels to be the same song over and over, but with various singers on each song. What makes the album more mediocre and generic is the lack of creativity and originality in its production andCalvin Harris has become absorbed by the success of his past work, and now has created a body of work that can be seen as a money-grab.

    Nothing really to see here beyond a Dj's attempt to re-captivate an audience that's moved on with lifeless big hitter features. What made Vol.1 interesting and fun is that it felt diverse, inventive and precise: it knew what it wanted to do . Vol.2 feels like a bad spotify playlist. This is not interesting.

    The record is funky, it might sound good near some waves (the title is also a play on the .wav format for digital music files, which Harris is constantly sending to studios across the world), and the beats generally bounce happily along. It does what it says on the tin.

    Vol. 2 sounds like the album one might slap on after the Funk Wav Bounces, Vol. 1 party ends and everyone is ready to crash.

    Detractors have long said that Harris’ music is tailor made for background summer playlists you can ignore – listening to this project, it’s hard to disagree.
