    On II, Bad Books have proven that they are more than Manchester Orchestra with Kevin Devine or vice versa by dropping any ego and making a cohesive record. Thankfully, all of us reap the benefit.

    Bad Books' II is the band finally discovering its sweet spot, as the album's eleven tracks are firing on all cylinders.

    II's best moments actually come when the songs sound like nothing either singer has ever done. [Nov 2012, p.90]

    II feels like a collaboration in the purest sense.

    With beautifully harmonised vocals sitting alongside pared-down guitar lines, their lyrical themes of love and loss will hit nerves you never knew you had.
