CD ReviewsIgnore Kalera Stratton's review Keiv D. Spare | Lawrence, KS | 11/25/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "Ignore Kalera Stratton's review, she doesn't know what she's talking about. This is an outstanding album, and whilst it is not the same style as Blue October's Foiled album, it is nevertheless a work of genius. Every song is fantastic, and although I think the songs sound better when performed live (see Blue October's live album "Argue With a Tree..."). The song writing on The Answers is among the best in Blue October's catalog. "For My Brother", "Tomorrow", "Sweet and Somber Pigeon Wings", "Italian Radio", "Blue Sunshine", "Black Orchid", "Mr. Blues Menu", "Weaknesses", "The Darkest Side of Houston's Finest Day" and "The 21st" are all worthy of inclusion in a list of Blue October's best songs. Yes this album was recorded in 1997 so it won't sound the same as an album that was recorded in 2007, but any music fan worth their salt can recognize the genius in the lyrics and the violin arrangements. Buy this album, it's well worth it." Starting at the roots... Lolly Loo | Central New Jersey | 11/08/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "This album is very personal to the band, and it defiantly shows. The lyrics are raw, so much so that you feel as though you are surrounded by them. There is also something very soothing about singer Justin Furstenfeld's voice, it just seems to draw you in almost daring you not to listen closer. On this first offering from Blue October you can see a lot more of their Texas based "twang" rock roots, which only gives more personality to their sound. On this record Blue October is not afraid to show what is at their core, a passion for making music with purpose. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys deep poetic lyrics with solid alternative/folk/rock sound. Looking back on this album it is very clear why they are a band that is on the way up the music charts. Tracks not to be missed: Breakfast After Ten, Italian Radio, For My Brother, Blue Sunshine, Black Orchid " Much more intimate and soulful than their more recent materi Julia Truchsess | Sandy Hook, CT USA | 03/23/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "I was first exposed to Blue October with their recent release and subsequently worked my way backwards through their earlier stuff. I now realize they are (or were?) much deeper than their slickly-produced pop-ified recent material would suggest. I like this one and its follow-up, Consent to Treatment, much better than Foiled. The material is more urgent and personal, the production cleaner and simpler, and I love the up-front violin. Foiled is good, but this album makes me appreciate it in a whole new light and gives me hope for more great music from them in the future."
