For a long time, releasing an album with Volume One somewhere in the title seemed like a good way to ensure there would never be a Volume Two, unless those songs were already recorded (e.g., George Michael’s Listen Without Prejudice, Vol. 1 or in a similar vein, Hall and Oates’ Rock ’n Soul Part 1). But the tide has turned! Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs continued their 2006 Under the Covers, Vol. 1 collaboration with Vol. 2 last year, while She and Him just this week followed up their Volume One debut with Volume Two. Full marks for persistence, if not for creativity.
