4.0 out of 5 stars ...the much hated special edition... 27 Jun 2007
By Mr. H TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
So what do you do when you're nearing the end of a promotional cycle and there are monster gigs coming up with the likes of The Who and Aerosmith? There's no time to knock out a new album and you've already released a plethora of singles. Why, it must be 'Special Edition' time.

I hate special editions. Especially the ones that come out a couple of months after the initial release, that bung in a couple of tracks to try and milk the fans for all they've got. Even worse if they chuck in a DVD. But, hold hard. This one at least tries to provide yer actual value for money. Sure, they're still asking you to fork out for an album you've already got, even if it is one of the finest blues-rocking debuts in recent memory. But at least this comes with fifteen (count 'em), yes, fifteen tracks on the bonus CD.

Collecting together the B-sides from the single releases, acoustic tracks, three live tracks recorded in Tokyo and their cover of 'Sweet Emotion' by Aerosmith, there's five songs here that have never been released before. Not everything is essential but the slow blues of 'Doctor', the Thunder soundalike of 'Rock Bottom Blues' and the acoustic version of 'Into The Gutter' are fabulous. And the live material just makes you yearn for a full blown in concert album, especailly when you've seen them turn it on as many times as I have. But where's the smokin' hot live version of 'Preachin'?

It's still a pricy purchase for the real die hards who've bought everything with The Answers name on it, but first timers will find out just how fabulous the blues rocking Irish boys are, and the rest of you can treeat it as a catch all compilation. So, (nearly) everyone wins.

I'm a huge fan of these guys. I'm a guitarist who's listened to and played every riff and song and worn out every classic rock cd i have. It comes to a time when you really feel sad that there's no new Hendrix or Lad Zep out there. Nothing rocks like the rock music of the 70's. But then i discovered the Answer!!

Just seen these guys again last night and they were supporting The Who. They were equally as good and the songs are too. These guys would hold their own with Led Zep!

If you like your rock with a classic feel then buy this brilliant cd. The fact there's a second cd with bonus material is fantastic. The album Rise is a must for anyone's collection!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars great songs wrong era 19 Aug 2007
By spike
Format:Audio CD
The Answer is a band for all ages there reissue of their debut album is a nice neatly packaged 2 disc set of hard rocking tunes that is worthy of the bonus disk alone as it contains radio sessions and demo's of their best tracks including a few b sides and covers which in all the album is full of killer but no filler to keep me occupied and other fans of a band that is part of the second coming of classic rock!

i give this reissue 5/5 as it beats all the other reissues in terms of good muscianship and value for money
