Rufus Wainwright's hyper theatrical style has been off-putting for me in the past and kept me at arms length from enjoying his obvious talents. Want Two, while I won't say is a revelation, it is an album where his theatricality is not as much a barrier to my enjoyment. Whether that's as a result of a change in me or in his music I can't say. The first two songs are great starts to the album. Agnus Dei a beautiful straight choral piece sounds incredible and The One You Love the closest thing to indie rock on the album strike all the right chords for me. The other songs are more hit and miss but with more hits than misses. My mind did wander from time to time however I would have to consider this a generally enjoyable album. 3.5 stars
