Heavy riffage, fuzztone explosions, and untidy sentiments mark the grooves of Songs From An American Movie, Vol. Two: Good Time For A Bad Attitude.
All you've got to do is look at the song titlesΓÇö"When It All Goes Wrong Again," "Misery Whip," "Out Of My Depth" and "All Fucked Up"ΓÇöto know that Everclear has made good on its promise to record the noisy, bad-ass counterpart to the pop-textured Songs From An American Movie, Vol. One: Learning How To Smile. This is a band that likes dealing in extremes and, lucky for us, the messy stuff that comes in between.
If Everclear wanted to play by the rules, they would've simply released Learning How To Smile and toured behind it. But they did something else. They released the album and went right back into the studio to record another album. It's a move that hardly won the group points from certain industry guardians who want to see the cow properly milked. "But fΓÇök that," you can hear Everclear saying. "Let's try something else...let's change the scenery."
And so, four months after the release of Learning How To Smile, here comes Good Time For A Bad Attitude. There's a restless energy, an infectious bravado, and loose cannon guitars that bring you face to face with Everclear's beautiful world of noise and songs about busted-up lives and raw truths.
Now clench your teeth...and play this record LOUD.
