Two Parts Viper is the second full-length studio album by '68. The album was released on June 2, 2017.
Vocalist and songwriter Josh Scogin said of the album, “It is a journey that is meant to be heard as a full statement from track 1 to track 10. I can’t just name one thing about the record that makes me proud, it's a whole package - the art, the music, the journey it took to get finished, the songs I deleted, the ones I kept, the struggles and the victories...It all had to happen just the way it did or this album would not exist the way it does.”
In its review of the album, Ear To The Ground Music described Two Parts Viper as "...a great follow-up record that matches the quality of ‘68’s first, In Humor and Sadness...The vocals give the feeling that the listener is part of a hard rock party...The lyrics are open to interpretation, with a little guidance hidden in the verses and titles...a unique record that is difficult to categorize – like The Chariot with more jams, less distorted guitars, and a more relaxed feel."
Lucy Binetti of Paste wrote that Two Parts Viper "...takes the listener on a thrilling musical excursion from start to finish."
As of 2/2/2018, the album had a 92% aggregate critic score on Metacritic.
