The Answer is Never is the second full-length album recorded by the band Howards Alias.
The album was released by Household Name Records on June 7, 2004 on compact disc. A huge leap in terms of quality of both songwriting and production in comparison to debut The Chameleon Script, this was the sound of a much more mature and less ska punk-influenced Howards Alias.
As the band had become a quartet by this point, it was up to the multi-talented Nicholas Horne to play both trumpet and trombone during the recording process. This added a subtle irony to the fact that the album was touted as being 'closer to the live sound of Howards Alias', as did the inclusion of a string instrument section on certain songs.
Clocking in at just over an hour in length, The Answer is Never is commonly regarded as Howards Alias' best altogether album.
