Songs from an American Movie Vol. Two: Good Time for a Bad Attitude is an album by Everclear, released on November 21, 2000. They recorded Vol. One and Vol. Two in the same year and released them only a few months apart. Both albums are loose concept albums inspired by Art Alexakis' second divorce. The first one is more pop-based and melodic, the second angrier with a more punk/hard rock sound. It also focuses more on the destruction of relationships in its lyrical content.
Good Time For a Bad Attitude was seen as a disappointment compared to its predecessor. The album debuted at a disappointing 66 on the Billboard charts. No singles received any significant air play on radio or MTV. To date the album has only sold about 100,000 copies in the U.S. The album was certified Gold in Canada in February 2001.[10]
"When It All Goes Wrong Again", "Out of My Depth," and "Rock Star" were released as singles from this album.
"When It All Goes Wrong Again" was also featured on the soundtrack for the 2001 film Antitrust starring Ryan Phillippe while "Rock Star" was featured for the 2001 film of the same name starring Mark Wahlberg.
