"Suddenly Tragic" and "Tripled Manic State". An Answer Can Be Found was the last CKY album to be released by Island Records, as the band left the label in 2006. Miller claimed in October 2015 that a new lineup of CKY (dubbed "Mecha CKY") would be re-recording and re-releasing the album. Title and packaging CKY's third studio album was originally planned to be titled The Butcher's Hand, which is a lyric from the song "As the Tables Turn"; this was later changed to the final title, An Answer Can Be Found, which is a lyric from the album's opening track, "Suddenly Tragic". The artwork for the album cover, produced by t42design, features the letter "A" in the background as a tribute to the band's fanbase, which is affectionately dubbed the "Alliance" and was described on the band's website as "ultra loyal". Composition Lyrics Many of the lyrics on An Answer Can Be Found include references to suicide, in particular renouncing the idea, with the songs "Suddenly Tragic", "The Way You Lived" and "Don't Hold Your Breath" all said to relate to this theme. Gigwise described the album's lyrics as "angry yet positive". The lyrics of "Tripled Manic State" are about the idea of experimenting on humans, and the song is a sequel to Infiltrate•Destroy•Rebuild track "Inhuman Creation Station", which was written about a hypothetical factory which manufactured humans. "Familiar Realm" is said to be about feelings of "frustration and ennui", with Billboard magazine proposing these themes being felt by band members in relation to CKY's "growing fame". Music The music of An Answer Can Be Found has been compared to that of previous album Infiltrate•Destroy•Rebuild, but has also been identified as an evolution from the 2002 release. AllMusic's Rob Theakston noted that the album followed much of the same formula as the band's previous album, but claimed that it is "more heavy metal than it is punk", identifying the influence of GG Allin on the record. Alternative Press writer Rob Ortenzi highlighted the "slowed-down death-metal riffs and midtempo backbeat that've become CKY's trademarks". A review on Blabbermouth.net summarized the album's style as being typified by "massive riffs, a full-bodied production style, and an interesting combination of stoner esthetics with futuristic leanings", while Gigwise described it as sounding like "a cross between Weezer and Stone Temple Pilots with the song sensibilities of Linkin Park".
