I've always been a big fan of No For An Answer, so I was pretty intrigued when I saw on Double Cross that the band was going to be recording a three song 7 inch. Now if we've learned anything from DYS, it's that sometimes it is better to just let the past be the past, and these reunions often times can be an embarrassing mess. Still, I really enjoyed Speak 714 and John Henry Holiday, plus they were finally doing a studio recording of Man Against Man, so I had a bit of faith in Dan O and crew.
The record itself is quite good. Two old songs get their first studio recording, and then one new one. Man Against Man rages just about as hard as the live version from The Icemen Cometh 7 inch. It Makes Me Sick was written back when the band was doing the You Laugh record, and would fit in nicely on that record. Seriously, the song isn't even seconds long...you would have thought that they would have thrown it on their first record. In The Beginning finishes things off nicely and ends with the opening riff for Without A Reason. The circle is complete.
Limited to 500.

never been much of a fan, but since Ignite played Man Against Man very well, I will have to try this. Plus hearing Casey Jones again should be great, really liked him with Ignite!
Mike, you are a blogging machine! It surely can't be long until you are knocking out two posts per day...
By the way, do you have the mp3s for this 7"?
