"Low Level Owl Volume II" is technically the Appleseed Cast's fourth album, though it was released just two months after "Low Level Owl Volume I". The albums are inseparable in sound, mood and style, but the second volume is arguably more instrumental-based than the first volume, with "Sunset Drama King" and "The Argument" showing heavy post-rock influences.

The albums met with a considerable degree of acclaim, but the band found themselves saddled with the term "America's closest answer to Radiohead". [cite web | url=http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:5zpyxdgb3old | title=Low Level Owl, Vol. 1 | publisher=Allmusic | accessdate=2006-06-26 ]
