Reviews Customer Reviews for Answer That And Stay Fashionable Not for everyone... including those like myself. Rating: I guess I could understand why some people would like this. The tracks don't have a big meaning, so it doesn't wind up taking itself too seriously (which is a contrast to modern AFI). There isn't much artistic merit, as it's run-of-the-mill skate punk. And the "Resevoir Dogs" sampling is pretty cool, actually.
That being said, I don't really care for this CD. The songs don't have a whole lot of variety and doesn't have good playback value. Juvenile songs can be charming and amusing, but on here, it just makes me kind of yawn and roll my eyes at times. It's refreshing to hear a band who used to be something completely different, though, and this was literally only 1/2 of today's lineup. While it's interesting that Davey's got less of a high-pitched voice here, that actually made him a bit more distinguished, and it's hard for me to call what's on this album that. I like a few of the songs, but could have done without most of it. I think that omitting two of the songs from the CD version really worked in the audience's favor, as it wears its welcome out about halfway though.
Me, I don't like the first two CD's that much. It's all uphill from there. Especially starting in the Black Sails in the Sunset era. Punk purists (those who deem major label stuff as "sellout") will recommend you this in favor of the last two, but really I think those are awesome. But then again, you'd have to appreciate some goth & dark pop to really "get" that one.
Customer Reviews for Answer That And Stay Fashionable Cd Wingnut vs. Nitro information....... Rating: Tracks 16 and 17 are special tracks which are only available on the 12" vinyl version of the album. On the original Wingnut release of the album, a cover of "Man In A Suitcase" (originally by The Police) was featured instead of "Open Your Eyes".
