An Answer Can Be Found (stylized as an Ånswer can be found) is the third studio album by American rock band CKY. Recorded at studios in California and New York City, it was produced by guitarist Chad I Ginsburg and released on June 28, 2005, by Island Records in North America and Mercury Records in Europe. The album reached number 35 on the US Billboard 200, the highest position achieved by the band to date. Originally named The Butcher's Hand, An Answer Can Be Found was written by vocalist and guitarist Deron Miller with assistance from Ginsburg, and featured a number of songs from early in the band's career. Again, the album featured the core lineup of Miller, Ginsburg and drummer Jess Margera, with Miller and Ginsburg playing bass on the record in addition to guitars and vocals. At the time of its release, An Answer Can Be Found was presented by CKY's members as the band's magnum opus; however, the album received mixed reviews from music critics, who offered contrasting views on whether the band's music had evolved or not. "Familiar Realm" was released as a single on May 24, 2005, reaching number 32 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. Recording and production Recording for An Answer Can Be Found took place at 4th Street Recording in Santa Monica, California, Paramount Recording in Hollywood, California, and Sony Music Studios in New York City; sequencing, editing and mastering took place at Masterdisk in New York City. Recording began on April 7, 2004. Production and mixing were handled by guitarist Chad I Ginsburg, with Pablo Arraya assisting with engineering, Roger Lian working on sequencing and editing with Ginsburg, and Howie Weinberg mastering the album. As was the case with the band's previous releases, many of the album's songs were written and recorded in the form of demos years before its release. "Behind the Screams" was originally recorded for a bonus feature in the 2003 film Haggard: The Movie, directed by Bam Margera, and was re-recorded for An Answer Can Be Found as a response to fan requests. "Don't Hold Your Breath" originates from the Volume 1 era of the band, but "never really fit anywhere until [An Answer Can Be Found] was made". The title of "Behind the Screams" is a play on words, referring to both the presence of the song on a behind-the-scenes feature on the Haggard DVD release
