Suitcase 2: American Superdream Wow is the second box set of 100 unreleased songs by Guided by Voices. As with the first Suitcase box set, each song is credited to a fictional band name. For this set's artwork, fictional artwork, album covers, and ephemera associated with some of the acts was created.

The mastering process for this set involved a cassette-deck and a consumer-model standalone CD Burner operated by bandlead Robert Pollard himself, and the transfer process left a handful of tracks marred by digital audio glitches.

The subtitle "American Superdream Wow" comes from lyrics from the song "Denied" on From a Compound Eye [1].

Pollard later created a band called Boston Spaceships, which appears as a song on this collection.

Fictitious bandnames do not appear in italics. Continuing from the previous Suitcase: Failed Experiments and Trashed Aircraft, the discs are numbered 5-8 and the songs 101-200.
