It was recorded in October 1997 at Sound Arts Studio in Houston, Texas and released in the United States in January 1998 by RoDan Entertainment/Scoop. It is Blue October's only album featuring founding member and bass guitarist Liz Mullally, who also played piano on the album. For several years the band was not allowed to sell the album on its website or at concerts because of its contract with Universal Records. The album was only available by mail order directly from RoDan (Justin and Jeremy Furstenfeld's parents Roann and Dan Furstenfeld, who managed the band at the beginning) until an agreement was reached in 2005. The album was re-released in the US by Universal Records in 2008; however, the re-released version is packaged in a digipak and does not include the booklet that accompanied the original version of the album. The Answers was also originally released on cassette tape in addition to CD. Cassette versions of the album are extremely rare and have become collectors items among Blue October fans. The album has also recently (between January and April 2018) become unavailable on various streaming services, such as Apple Music and Spotify, although the reason for this change is unknown. The rest of the band's catalogue remains on the platforms. Many of the songs on the album deal with themes of depression, including "Black Orchid", which is about suicide.
