The second volume of music from the soundtrack to the TV series "Watchmen" was issued in a sleeve masquerading as the soundtrack to a fictitious show called "American Hero Story: Minutemen".
The real credits found online tell us most of the cues were created by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross with two traditional jazz tracks by John Beasley. My copy plays very well and includes a facsimile newspaper clipping included in some pressings.
As far as the music goes it is more of the same really. Standout tracks are "Squid Pro Quo" which begins as an atmospheric drone before launching into a powerful analogue sequence. "Seven Years of Bad Luck" and "He Was Never There" are also very interesting to hear and the creepy "Kicked in the Balls Again" never fails to affect.
The afore mentioned John Beasley contributions are traditional jazz recordings that fit within the context of the programme, but are of absolutely no interest to me. So whilst this isn't quite as good as the first volume it is still very interesting to hear. 2.5/5
