2 stars The problem with certain compilations is that it's not clear whether they are bootleg or not. Alsothereis no mention of a line up and where the includedsongs come from. Theydon'teven include a biography or some article. Besides, here are mainly included songs from the chaotic period of the 80s, when Vincent Crane and Atomic Rooster recorded a lot and released almost nothing. "Devil'sAnswer" (in a modest live version) and"Tomorrow Night" (maybe in a re-recording of the 80's? I can't understand well) are the onlysongs that a good lover of Progressive Rock fully appreciates because of the 70s (and, therefore, a little Progressive). For the restitis DuCann wh ois on the shields and, therefore, also because Vincent Crane has similar ideas, we are at a Heavy Metal pre NWOBHM. Certainly very beautiful and fascinating. Certainly 100% AtomicRooster. Certainly with some Progressive moments. Certainly with lots of organ and guitar. Certainly extraordinary music. But it doesn't make u sunderstand what the Atomic Roosters were in the 70s. Ultimately "Devil's Answer" is an almost useless compilation (a budget compilation). If you are a fan of the Atomic Rooster or of John DuCann "Devil's Answer" is an excellent compilation. Otherwise I would pass on. Regardless of the excellent music.
