专辑介绍：
Want Two是来自加拿大的歌手/作曲家Rufus Wainwright的第四张专辑。本辑发布于2004年11月16日。专辑中有四首曲目以Waiting for a Want的名字作为EP发布于iTunes音乐商店。
Wainwright本人说到，Want Two是2003年专辑Want One的黑暗姊妹篇。Want One着重个人，而Want Two主要探讨“我们所居住的世界”这个主题。Wainwright的曲目选择体现了他风格的丰富性，从浪漫歌谣("Peach Trees")到悲伤情歌("This Love Affair")，从世故的流行歌曲("The One You Love")到第三人称/第一人称叙事的挽歌("The Art Teacher")，从半开玩笑的个人宣言("Gay Messiah")到经典流行乐混合体("Memphis Skyline")，以及其它甚至无法界定的歌曲。"Agnus Dei"一曲被2007年的电影Trade采用于预告片中。
Wainwright的母亲Kate McGarrigle和姨妈Anna (McGarrigle)都在"Hometown Waltz"中献唱。2005年水星奖得主Antony and the Johnsons组合中的Antony Hegarty与Wainwright一起为"Old Whore's Diet"领唱。本专辑的英国版另外收录了两首现场录音："Coeur de Parisienne - Reprise d'Arletty"和"Quand vous mourez de nos amours" (加籍法裔作曲家Gilles Vigneault作曲)。

Rufus Wainwright's Want Two comes on the heels of its similarly titled predecessor, Want One, and they definitely go hand-in-hand. Nestled in lush arrangements, strings, and choir backdrops, Wainwright’s vocals soar operatically ("Agnus Dei"), yearn ("The One You Love"), and reflect ("Memphis Skyline", a tribute to Jeff Buckley). Overall, the album has a heavily orchestrated tone. While this can be intriguing the more grandiose moments border on the overwhelming at times. Quieter moments, such as the acoustic, romantic "Peach Tree's" and the live storytelling-style of "The Art Teacher," are all the more powerful in their sparseness. Want Two's most introspective track, "Gay Messiah," finds Wainwright grappling humorously and poignantly with his growing gay icon status. Though his lyrics explore love and lust, sin and loss, it's Wainwright's voice – melancholic and moving, passionate and sweeping – that expresses all the emotion that mere words can't convey.
