Songs from an American Movie Vol. Two: Good Time for a Bad Attitude

Songs from an American Movie Vol. Two: Good Time for a Bad Attitude is the fifth studio 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.

The album debuted at #66 on the Billboard charts, a disappointment compared to Vol. One 's top-ten debut. Furthermore, it does not have a certification from the RIAA, while Vol. One was certified Platinum. However, Vol. Two was certified Gold in Canada in February 2001. None of the singles received any significant airplay on radio or MTV. "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 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.

"Rock Star" was used in an episode of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide in 2006.
