The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked 2 is an album by Japanese band Boris. This album, along with The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked 3, continue the series of Thing Which Solomon Overlooked albums.
Some of the songs on here are more in the vein of drone ala Sunn O))), but "No Ones Grieve Part 2", in particular, is the first of the series to feature drums. It is also a longer version of "枯れ果てた先" from the Japanese version of "Smile" (called "Ka Re Ha Te Ta Sa Ki - No One's Grieve" on the US version of "Smile",which is itself a slightly longer version). The release itself was done on Conspiracy Records only on vinyl. 700 Orange copies were pressed and sold on Conspiracy's website and various distributors, while 300 green copies were sold on tour. The cover is nearly identical to The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked except for the addition of the 2, the writing is in green instead of orange and the curtain on the right side is in a slightly different position.
The album was remastered on the boxset The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked - Chonicle.

Famous quotes containing the words the thing, solomon and/or overlooked:
“Whatever is felt upon the page without being specifically named there—that, one might say, is created. It is the inexplicable presence of the thing not named, of the overtone divined by the ear but not heard by it, the verbal mood, the emotional aura of the fact or the thing or the deed, that gives high quality to the novel or the drama, as well as to poetry itself.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our
vines have tender grapes.”
—Bible: Hebrew The Song of Solomon (l. II, 15)
“Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
