Answers is a document of how good instrumentals can be written without walls clearly delineating where the verse ends and the chorus begins.
-
Answers has a heavy downtown spirit, with standard instruments played in a unique fashion, and an aggressive interplay that's nearly antagonistic.
-
Sparse without feeling empty, clear without being awkwardly straightforward, Ui can remind even the most jaded of guitar gods that what Mingus (or Mike Watt or Peter Hook) did wasn't a fluke-- the bass doesn't have to be supplementary.
-
An excellent instrumental rock disc with plenty of things thrown in the mix to keep things interesting.
-
MagnetThe problem with Answers is the grooves are slathered in all that useless skill. [#60, p.119]
-
The WireAt their worst, Ui thrash like run of the mill math-rockers, basses turned to 11 and meandering loudly.... What rescues them is a burgeoning melodic sensibility. [#233, p.71]
