Just Get It
So many punk bands drew influence from Unwritten Law and this cd particularly. You won't be disappointed with this cd. If you like Blink-182's Dude Ranch get this.


Pinnacle of pop punk
I was given this album and instantly fell in love. I was fortunate enough to be guided through my first experiences with the punk genre back around 2000. I thought most music was going to be like this in the genre, but I soon found that this Unwritten Law album is the best of its kind. It's sad that UL went another route because every song on this album is more than memorable. These songs define an era of my life and their other stuff(and other bands) just don't cut the mustard for me. This album is the BEST of the pop punk genre. If you don't own it, you should, because if you are a fan of the pop punk, then you are definitely missing out on a benchmark of what the music should sound like.

Elva is good, but it just isn't this album. Here's To The Mourning is decent in its own way, but that album just isn't what Unwritten Law should be.

Take my and the other reviews advice and get this album. You won't be sorry. I still listen to it over and over and you will too.


a instant favorite
However i havent in at least 3 years, until i randomly thought about it today. i have probably listened to this cd more than any other in my collection. The cd i owned no longer worked, but i decided to buy another.
Start to finish a perfect album.
I would rate it as my pick for top 10 of all albums that i like.
i must have.


My All-Time Favorite Album
In fact, out of all of the albums I own, this is one of the only ones that I don't have to skip tracks. This album is awesome from first song to last song. In fact, I played this CD so much that I damaged the disc, and had to buy a new one. I would definitely recommend this album to anyone. It's a must have CD.


An Amazing album from an Amazing band
That's not to say that is a bad thing. A lot of people think that Unwritten Law step aside from their "Punk Image" with Elva, but for me this is the album that they kind of broke away from that. With this CD Unwritten Law cut the strings off and freed themselves from all the "punk rules" to make an AWSOME album. Even though in my heart of hearts I still believe Unwritten Law to be a punk band. It's just with this cd they've evolved BIG TIME! While it does have a lot of punk in it, it also has a lot of metal, New Metal, and the song Lonesome kind of sounds Funk to me, but when all this is rolled together it just makes for some really good Rock N Roll. I can't say that this is their best album because you would have to go a long way to beat Blue Room, but if this album isn't better than Blue Room it's sure as hell is right up there with it. There is such a wide ranch of songs on this cd, and it proves what a talented band Unwritten Law is. You've got everything on this cd, from songs like Cailin (which is a love rock song) to songs like Teenage Suicide (which is a really fast pop punk song). This album was sort of their "transition" album. Which is why I guess it's a self-titled album. And I think the reason they did this was because they didn't want to sound like EVERY other punk band out there that sounds or tries to sound like Green Day's Dookie. A lot of people call Unwritten Law sellouts but to me there is nothing less punk than putting rules on it, but who cares about labels? Personally I don't think Unwritten Law can make a bad album (even though I would say Elva is my least favorite, but I still liked it) but there is just something really special about this album that I can't just put into words. I can honestly say this is one of my fifteen favorite albums of all time. What else can I say other than this is an amazing album from an amazing band, and if you call Unwritten Law "sellouts" then you have one of two problems: You don't know how to think for yourself or you just suck.
