Solas is the soundtrack you need for driving across the country. All songs have that feel-good cruising sentiment and vary from focused to playful. Southern Rock is definitely felt, and there is also plenty of Jam Band and ’70s sway. Basically, The Answer is one of those bands that everyone can like. Jimmy Page has been to several shows, and Joe Elliot even said that The Answer may well have some influence on the next Def Leppard album.

Solas is the Celtic word for light, which backs The Answer’s Northern Irish origin. Light is certainly what the band was reaching for after a lot of personal hardships before this album. That darkness is hidden in the undertones, but for the most part you’ll get something positive—like the armored optimism of anything that properly matures.

Jude Cossey

Jude was a reviewer here at Metal Express Radio, living in Taiwan but originally from the great state of Ohio, USA. He first got into music when a fellow weirdo in his catholic high school needed someone to play guitar with. They jammed on some Grunge Rock, but soon he got hooked on the blisteringly-fast shredding of Randy Rhoads and other greats. Later, he bought Metallica's Ride The Lightning as his first album purchase. During that time, his friends and him would end up at local Metal shows. He played in some bands himself as well.
