The Answer – Revival

Releasedate: 03-10-2011; Label: Spinefarm Records
By: Sabine van Gameren

The Answer is an Irish hard rock band, they have been touring around with the largest names to think of like AC/DC, Whitesnake etc. Now the band is releasing their third full length album “Revival”.

The Answer is not bringing you something new, something you must beware of. High rock and roll voices like late 70’s and the 80’s would give you. Loads of guitar riffs that are there to show off, to shine and catchiness all over it. Positive about this is that the guys know their boundaries, never taking it too far, not bringing the catchiness to such a level you can’t stand it anymore and take a step back when needed. In “Vida (I want you)” for example they take it easy, let the instrumentals come back to a more modest level before breaking out in the full hard rock experience again. The album is filled with good songs, maybe hard to say what stands out as they are quite equal to each other. Good to know, there is also a limited edition available of this release where you can listen to some acoustic recordings and get an extended booklet. All together this release works quite fine, worth to try for the hard rock fans out there.
