Amazon.com

If scientists strived to merge crunchy, hook-heavy pop-rock-punk and the super-shiniest production techniques this side of Smashing Pumpkins, the result would probably sound exactly like Everclear's Songs from an American Movie, Vol. 2: Good Time for a Bad Attitude. It's a hit-or-miss outing. On the one hand, it's a step up from the tepid Songs from an American Movie, Vol. 1, and it takes the boys back to the loose but mighty muscularity that made Sparkle and Fade such a delight. Art Alexakis and company take some chances, like the funky groove of "Babytalk" and the ballad to bombast and back again of "Out of My Depth." On the minus side, the production is so slick that there's no friction, and rock music without friction is like, well, like large chunks of this Attitude. Definitely a mixed bag from Everclear. --Jason Josephes

3 out of 5 stars A little rough but true Everclear.......2006-11-04

A lot like the first "Songs" but a little bit rougher, not quite as polished. But like most Everclear you need to listen to the lyrics to get a deep appreciation for the music. The quality of the recoprding seems not to be so terrific, but in general it is good (not great) classic Everclear.

2 out of 5 stars Worse than Volume 1, by a long shot........2006-08-26

What little "Volume 1" had to offer, "Volume 2" has even less.

There is not one single memorable tune. It's all Everclear-sounding songs, but nothing that jumps out and says, "Hey, listen to me again!"

Competently done, well played, well produced...but utterly inconsequential. "Rock Star" even sounds like an Everclear cover band song, like somebody was trying to imitate Alexakis and company.

This was WAY boring, I thought.

3 out of 5 stars Not as melodic as Vol.I.......2006-07-08

I understand this is more a return to form for Everclear, but I did prefer the more melodic sounds on Volume I. That being said there are a number of worthy songs here. "Short Blond Hair" about what really is not important anymore, "Out of My Depth" a tuneful look at despair, and "Overwhelming" which may prove to be wishful thinking but is a valiant effort to show the pain of a relationship gone wrong are all excellent examples of the band in top form.
But some other tunes are pretty much a waste of time. Like "Babytalk" that is pretty much a hard rocker about a pet peeve, and "Rock Star" an idea that has been done to death and usually better than this one. And even the title "Misery Whip" makes me wince. I just feel Volume I was more consistently listenable.

5 out of 5 stars "We were fading like the bottom of a bad dream...".......2005-12-28

This is surely one of the greatest albums in rock. Art Alexakis is the best songwriter to come around since John Easedale from Dramarama. The song ROCK STAR is the most hilarious repudiation of the sickening false humility that permeated the Northwest Music Scene I have ever heard; its one of the most bratty, snotty, sneering rock and roll songs to blister the ears since the Sex Pistols first roared out of the gate.

5 out of 5 stars Misunderstood.......2005-04-09

I guess that is how I will sum this Songs from an American movie vol. 2... up. I don't know maybe it's just me but I love this album. I am not a person that easily gives five stars to an album, in fact some of my favorite albums only receive four stars. Anyways, this is a rock album. Meaning power chords abundant and alot of Art's patented "Oh's! and Yeah's!" But seriously this is an up tempo album, not as angry as World of noise or tracks like "heroin girl" from Sparkle and fade. Instead this album sounds like what it is, some middle age guys saying I'm going to turn this way up and throw a tantrum for fourty minutes. This is the album I use to introduce my friends to everclear, I know most people will use the argument that sparkle and world were better, but this is far more accessible and toungue and cheek. I mean come on the chorus in "babytalk" is "she's got you by the balls!" try not to sing that all day long. The one thing that I feel I should mention is what a gem the song "good witch" is. I almost break into tears when I hear it. It is a song about that love that is almost within reach. One that if you are in that situation you will feel. I love Everclear and hope that they attempt more albums in this spirit instead of whatever the heck Slow motion daydream is. Thank you for your time.

5 out of 5 stars Ultra classic punk/reggae release.......2004-12-19

ROIR, the tape only label that began about 1981, originally released this as one of their tape only releases. Tape format, just by itself, dooms any release to be less consumed and recognized by the general public, though ROIR is almost certainly the biggest selling tape label in the punk/indie world. It wasn't till years later that it was finally released onto LP and years after that onto CD.

Every punk I ever knew from day one when this thing came out recognized this release as an automatic classic, possibly the finest punk release of all time. It's not long, I think in the 39 minute range. It's got total blazing HC tunes, like 4 in a row with the one of the finest vocals of all time in punk and super strong and fun and musical git work. Those HC songs just shoot into the next song and are not very long, both classic punk rock format.

However, BAD BRAINS is also one of the very very few bands to also then suddenly shift into total reggae. Ska and punk were brothers/related to each other from the beginning of punk. It was common for say 1 in 5 punk bands to have at least one song on their LP where they slowed down and did a skaified punk song. The whole Two-Tone SPECIALS/ENGLISH BEAT/BAD MANNERS/SELECTOR/MADNESS thing was generated in England from within the punk musical/social movement of the late 70's/early 80's. Ya ever notice how JIMI HENDRIX was and is the greatest guitarist in rock? How many other African Americans are at the top in rock aside from the 50's? Straight rock (i.e. not 50's)? Not many at all. JIMI was at the top man. Still is. Who's a better guitarist than him? Same thing happened with BAD BRAINS.

Every punk I ever knew felt, with their ears and punk spirit, that BAD BRAINS were one of the very top blazing punk bands of all time, particularly with this release. Everything they did after it went steadily downhill, slightly but down, tho not out. And here's the same thing. Four African Americans from D.C. who apparently had some kinda jazz band (?) and then switched into bein' in reggae, full time and punk and that's what their records reflected and their mighty shows. I saw them live in L.A. in 1981 and it was note for note this release. Pure heaven. Funny thing is, the reggae numbers were sort of like a little break, a cool off, and enjoyin' it. Particuarly as it's not the sleep reggae, it's got a good jumpin' to it, along the general lines of STEEL PULSE. I think that's all the differance.

Actually, the band is also one of the few who made clear their religious beliefs on record and in live shows with, from my experience, I been lucky enough to see 'em about 7 times, has always been embraced by the mainly punx in the audience. Not that anyone converted that I'm aware of. But it was not put down either. Just, like, accepted, 'hay, that's their thing'. Besides, their shows, generally, are so tight, the vocals, git, drums and bass are usually spectacular. In fact, I'd say HR is the best vocalist in punk along with IGGY and the original screamer in RAW POWER. chrisbct@hotmail.com

5 out of 5 stars Same Album.......2003-12-25

Attitude is the same album as Bad Brains. Minus the bonus track. These are the performances that are on Bad Brains. I'm not sure if the mastering is the same though--I haven't listened to both together.

5 out of 5 stars THE Bad Brains CD to get.......2003-11-16

I stumbled upon this CD somewhere years and years ago. Imagine an album recorded around 1980, during the heyday of Bad Brains, but with much better sound quality than the two "yellow" albums. While many of the tracks are on Rock for Light and Bad Brains, the performances are better. Too bad this is so hard to find.

1 out of 5 stars Only 8 Reviwers?.......2006-09-07

SO 8 PEOPLE THINK THIS IS A GOOD CD, HA! This CD stinks, just like every other Meatloaf CD without Steinman. The songs are klunky and forgettable, poorly written, and poorly produced. My dad said he bought this album and threw in the garbage a month later! Yea you can find one or two decent songs on various Loaf releases, and most of those are written by Steinman. Without Jim Steinman, Meatloaf would have of had the shortest career in music history and nobody would have a cluw who he is. He would have been known as some big fat loser who tried to cut a record. Matter of fact, he was bankrupt and desolate until the making of Bat Out Of Hell 2 which brought his career back from the pits, made him millions, and even more millions in subsequent tours. But every CD he has made since Bat 2 stinks too! Now he has the guts to make a Bat Out Of Hell 3 by himself and leave Steinman out. Knowing how unlikely his second comeback was, and the way the music scene is nowadays, the fat loud mouth upnoxious cursing idiot thinks he can make Bat 3 another comeback hit without using Steinman to produce it. Well, the first single is a retread of It's All Coming back to me Now with a lousy female counterpart. Now what a boneheaded decision that is, does the moron really think this song will make a big hit for him after Celine Dion did it up just a few years ago? And the Monster Is Loose is rather interesting, but the rest of the CD I would die of shock if this CD turned out to be a big hit. There is no way in hell, this CD will drop off the charts like, well, Like A Bat Out Of freakin hell. But Meat will no doubt have success on the new tour hyping up the new CD which will end up being labeled a boneheaded decision to make a try to make another classic without the master! And after that Jim Steinman will tell the Loaf do shove it up his fat butt!

5 out of 5 stars Bad attitude..... Great music.......2005-11-08

Meat Loaf yet again proved he is the king of rock by releasing this album in the early 80's. Although not heard of very much it is simply, an undiscovered gem. Most of the songs on here are fantastic and, although not as good as the original 'Bat out of Hell' the album is still better than about 80% of the albums on the market today. Buy this album if you want to hear some of the more 'unknown' Meat Loaf because it is simply amazing.

5 out of 5 stars Undiscovered Gem.......2002-01-18

This album is clearly the undiscovered gem of all the Meatloaf albums. Easily as good as the original 'Bat Out of Hell' album. And it puts to rest the arguement that Meat's music lost it's edge after he & Jim Steinman parted. Although there are a couple of Steinman songs on this album as well. This collection has it all. Blood pumping rockers, thoughtful ballads, mellow rock & roll, and every tune a killer. Meat Loaf has always been biker music at it's best. You can almost feel the wind in your hair just listening. I discovered Meatloaf about the time I discovered Harley Davidson and the two were made for each other. I had to have a CD player installed on my bike to play my MeatLoaf as I rode. The beat of the music and rumble of the road sync. Ya don't haveta say more. Tracks #1, #2, #3 are the best of the album but it's all good. If you're a MeatLoaf fan and don't already have this album, BUY IT!

5 out of 5 stars unknown masterpiece.......2001-12-25

Bat attitude a unknow meatloaf masterpiece that's what the album is Jim steinman is absent here but i haven't miss him his theatral overblown wagnerian sound (nothing wrong with that) has make place for a pretty powerfull 80's rock tune
meat doesn't always need Jim Steinman to make a good album althoug 2 songs are written by him the sound is very different than the real steiman productions it's more powerfull more rock meat sounds more like other real rockers like bryan adams Van halen or Def leppard. the playing time is pretty short wich are most meat albums of the beginning shorter than 40 minutes
let's tell you about some songs
BAD ATTITUDE the best meatloaf title song since bat out of hell
MODERN GIRL one of my meat favourites
NOWHERE FAST written by steinman a song that keep rocking
SURFS'S UP a more powerfull version of a steinman song
SAILOR TO A SIREN a worhty album closer
if you are a real meatloaf fan than check this album

5 out of 5 stars The Attitude is Bad, But the Music is Great!.......2000-05-08

Meatloaf has had more than one comeback in his career, but this was the beginning (1984) of the comeback in 1993 that produced Bat 2.

Though only 2 of the songs are written by Steinman, most of them have his "style" and I would have sworm they were written by him.

The album features the beautiful ballad "Surfs Up", Piece of the Action", and Sailor to A Siren" among others. Only one, "Modern Girl" appeared on his 1998 "Best Of" album, so this is one of Meatloaf's best secrets.

Four and a half stars would better describe it, but it still is nearly as good as, or EVEN AS GOOD AS any of Meat's other albums.

5 out of 5 stars Powerful. Incredible talent........2004-08-21

I came upon Ms. Bach's music quite on accident, but the instant I heard the tracks on this album, I was blown away by both her talent, which is undeniable, and the skill with which she sings. Later I discovered her website and read up on the new album, which has a completely different sound from Miles to Go. I have high, high expectations for her second album and I can't wait until its release.

5 out of 5 stars A Star on the Rise.......2003-04-05

I just learned of Alex Bach a few weeks ago. After sampling her Amazon music downloads, I bought the CD. What a deep, rich, mesmerizing voice, mature beyond her years. On this album, Alex Bach exhibits the ability to either wrap her voice around a touching ballad ('Miles to Go)' or get-edgy-with-it on a song like 'Worthless'. She moves between genres with ease and there's a song on this CD to please everyone. My favorite is 'Anymore' which flows beautifully from beginning to end and captures the essence of Ms. Bach's voice and song writing ability.

The EXPLICIT LYRICS tag is a sign of the times, something Roger Daltrey and the Who didn't have to deal with 25 some years ago when 'Who are You!' was penned. I hear only one word that pushes past the envelope and it took six times through the song before I picked it out.

My prediction is that, once this young lady gets airplay, she'll immediately capture a lot of hearts and ears.

5 out of 5 stars Whoa!!!! Let me catch my breath!.......2002-12-23

When I went to her website and the little promo popped up about getting a free tryout of the cd (after I had heard of her from another artist's bulletin board) I was expecting an undeveloped michelle branch (also an excellent artist) or a wannabe "carlton" (Anything but that,please!). I am glad I was completely wrong about this assumption and with the exception of one song I fully enjoy this cd. The only explicit lyrics I heard were on the last two tracks and anybody could here that on the WB or local radio. Plus compared to other artists that make cds with it throw the words around with no meaning behind them. Few artists can actually use stronger language to make a stronger song. This artist has it all, looks(definitely), voice (oh yeah!) originality, excellent rhythm, and even better lyrics. She could definitely rank up there with Michelle. On the other hand with Branch's new cd on the horizon I have another compilation of excellent music to look forward to. Above all things buy this cd. Why you ask? One to promote the artist so she can make more cds. Two: So more people can hear this cd. Three: You cannot go wrong with a cd like this. I certainly hope to hear her on a local station in the near future so that many more people can have the Bach experience. Who says Bach means classical?? Definitely not with this artist. She is a genre and class all of her own.

5 out of 5 stars Alex Bach Rocks!.......2002-10-24

Alex's music is awesome! She has an amazing voice and a beautiful way with words. Her songs paint a story and are so full of emotion. All of her songs will be instant favorites. From the very emotional Miles To Go to the funky Wannabe, there is not just one song that stands out, they ALL stand out. Alex is a gifted musician. I have had the honor of seeing her play live on a few occasions and she just blew me away. As for the "explicit language", I have to say that out of the few "bad" words there is only ONE that you won't hear on a soap opera or daytime talk show. That ONE word is not used for shock or to push the envelope, but to paint an even more emotional picture. Alex is beautiful, sexy and full of attitude. Do yourself a favor and take a chance on Alex and her music, you won't be sorry. Alex just ROCKS!

2 out of 5 stars Oops..........2003-05-14

Everclear's Vol. 2 Good Time for a Bad Attitude is a big let down for me. I bought it the day it came out because I'm a big Everclear fan, but after all this time, it's my least favorite Everclear album.

There is one standout track, Good Witch of the North. This was supposed to be a big rock album, so it's ironic that the best song on here is an acoustic love song. Overwhelming is a good song, but Art Alexakis already recorded it as a solo song, so it's not too exciting here. It's old news by now. Misery Whip is probably the best rock song. The riffs are great and it rocks! It's a song about rough sex, which is a little too much for me, so maybe I don't like the song that much, but it's a good song. Song from an American Movie pt. 2 had the potential to be one of Everclear's best songs, but I don't think it comes close. Many fans love this song, but I don't. I think the melody is extremely boring. You can't really have fun singing along to it. And the words are just ok. The song is about life, and moving on from a divorce and being with your family, which is a great subject, but sometimes the words don't make sense to me. It seems a little forced.

The rest of the record is either mediocre (When it All Goes Wrong Again, Rock Star) or very bad (Babytalk, All [messed] Up). Everclear labeled this as a rock album and some people loved it as a rock album, claiming Vol 1 Learning How to Smile was too poppy, but I think they've been fooled. Although Everclear is a rock band, rock is not what Everclear has always been about. Good songs is what Everclear has been about, and this album is lacking that. When you substitute rock for good songs, it doesn't really work, and that's what happened here. Although I love this band, I do not love this album. If you're looking for some Everclear music that rocks, go with "Sparkle and Fade" or "World of Noise," because those albums are made up of great songs.

3 out of 5 stars Not Everclear's Best.......2002-06-12

I May Be The Only One Who Does'nt Like When It All Goes Wrong Again, I Do Like Rock Star, Out Of My Depth, And Song From An American Movie Part 2. That's Enough To Get 3 Stars.

5 out of 5 stars Worth the Wait!.......2001-11-30

As I live in England, I've been waiting for this album for ages. I had already downloaded half of it, but its really not like owning the album itself. So it finally came out in the middle of April, and it has not disappointed.

It picks up where Vol. 1 left off: Volume 1 was really optimistic but this album is much more pi**ed off. But it really does take you on a journey.

It opens with single When It All Goes Wrong Again, which really sets the tone for the whole album with heavy guitars and drums and Art's distinctive voice getting angry in a catchy sort of way.

Slide is the next track. It wasn't one of my favorites when I downloaded it, but I like it more now. Its also catchy and musically similar to the first track.

Babytalk, however, is very different. It is groove-based and journeys into the kinda rock-rap genre, which Art then turns around and sort of derides in Rock Star, which is about innocent dreams of fame. Short Blonde Hair then shows where it went wrong. Its a great song, beautiful and typically Everclear in sound. Its lyrically about how people don't like him any more and think he's just 'That stupid guy with the short blonde hair' but how he doesn't care.

The next track, Misery Whip, is a song about taking out anger, and taking it out on yourself. Its not my favorite track, but its quite good. The next song, Out Of My Depth, is related to the pressures of fame. It, and the next track, Good Witch Of The North, are softer ballads.

Next we have Halloween Americana, a cool instrumental reminiscent of El Distorto De Melodica. Next is All F... Up, which is the reason for the Parental Advisory label. It is really heavy fast rock.

Next is one of the best tracks, the gorgeous ballad Overwhelming, which is about his ex-wife and how she has treated him, like her 'pathetic little loser, someone she can ignore' and how he's 'not gonna let her overwhelme' him any more.

The final track is what Song From An American Movie Pt. 1 should sound like, its the same song, except in a way better arrangement. It is a beautiful songs which says things simply but wonderfully and can make me cry.

Songs From An American Movie Volume 1 was one of the most classic pop albums ever. Songs From An American Movie Volume 2 now stands as one of the most classic rock albums ever.

5 out of 5 stars This Is not the best of everclear But is still ever heven........2001-08-07

Hi, open minded reader this is among the cd's that Make you love music so much. If you have ever listened to everclear before you now what I'm taking about. These lyrics arn't as much from the heart as those of "So Much for the After Glow", "Sparkle and Fade" or even to a lesser extent "Songs From an American Movie Volume 1: Learning how to Smile". Some of these songs are very nagative tords life like "OverWhelmed" Others are just an exceptence of what life is Like "Misery Whip" and "Songs from an American Movie 2". I think that these lyrics were writen during a difficult time for (lead singer) Art because these lyrics were writen when the band was prepareing to break up and this was for his solow album. These lyrics were writen before those of volume 1 and thus these lyrics have a more pesimistic view on life than volume 1. Why? because these lyrics were written rite after his devorce and his relationship with his daughter was in the balance. All and all this is an amazing cd which deserves to be listened to many times.

5 out of 5 stars Great c.d.......2001-06-13

All songs are great especially All F***ked up. Some of the songs sound alike, but I like the way it sounds. Everclears best c.d definitely. Better than their old junk. Great rock c.d. Don't be discouraged by songs from an American movie vol. 1. This c.d is much better, and is a lo more like rock.
