Myths, Legends, and Other Amazing Adventures of The Aquabats!, Volume 2 is The Aquabats' fourth album. This album was released in 2000, only a year after their previous album. It was released on Fearless Records and Horchata Records.

"Myths, Legends, and Other Amazing Adventures" is a compilation of "rarities, b-sides, demos, and outtakes" (as the album cover says). It is comprised of songs that were made for "The Floating Eye of Death!" and never finished, songs that were written long before and never finished, and songs that were recorded, but not intended to be on an actual album. The songs are more ska oriented rather than the New Wave sound of The Floating Eye album.

All songs were produced by Cameron Webb and The Aquabats except for track eight, Adventure Today, which was recorded and produced by Thom Wilson.

Trivia

* The second track "Hey Luno!" is based on the animated series "Luno The White Stallion".
* The track "Adventure Today!" is based on the 1985 film "The Goonies".
* The breakdown in "Pool Party!" is the same as the bridge of the song "Tom Sawyer" by "Rush"
* The track "Danger Woman!" is based on the Atlanta area "Karaoke Crime Fighter" and super hero personality of the same name. Her voice is featured at the beginning of the song.
* In "I Fell Asleep On My Arm", the intro is very similar to "Blind" by Korn. Part of the song is meant to sound like a Rage Against The Machine song and another part sounds similar to certain Limp Bizkit songs of the time. In the final two minutes, the MC Bat Commander also imitates Jonathan Davis's beatboxing in "Freak On A Leash", and incorporates parts from Kid Rock's song, "Bawitdaba", into his skat.
