Never Gets Old
This CD is terrific - it has a great mix of music, wonderful lyrics (hearing 'Seeing Red' still tears me up at times), and hasn't left my vehicle since it was released (in other words, I still listen to it nearly every day :p ).


Awesome CD
The opening track 'Mean Girl' pulls you straight in. This album by Unwritten Law really won me over. Scott uses many different techniques vocally to keep the audience interested. Some acoustic tracks and heavier tracks in there; depends on what kind of music you like.
1. Mean Girl - great hook and instrumental arrangement. Grinspoon like feel to it.

2. Up All Night - Cool rock feel to this song with a catchy chorus.

3. Sound Siren - More of a pop punk feel to it. My favourite track of the CD.

4. How You Feel - Lighter reggae type track. Keeps you interested with a slower, softer pace.

5. Blame It On Me - Gets you back into the heavier rock pace. Cool song.

6. Seein' Red - Cool song, slower paced again with a catchy chorus.

7. Nick and Phil - Answering machine message from Nick Enright and Phil Jamieson from Grinspoon.

8. Hellborn - Another heavier rock type track.

9. Geronimo - Great track on the CD, really keeps you interested in it. This songs a killer.

10. Rescue Me - Another rock track with a slight ska beat behind it. Cool vocal effects.

11. Actress, Model. . . - Another killer on the CD, quite pop punk again but keeps you very interested.

12. Raleigh, Pt. 5 - Cool to listen to stoned, weird filler.

13. Babalon - Great rock feel to it, with chunky guitar sounds.

14. Raleigh, Pt. 6 - Bizarre.

15. Rest Of My Life - Cool soft acoustic track.

16. Elva - Phil from Grinspoon helped to write this track. Great feel to it.

17. Evolution - Awesome way to end the CD, great finisher. After the track is over keep listening because at the end there is a hidden answering machine message from Tom DeLonge.

Great CD, 4 stars.


Slow...Fast...Punk...Good
"Mean girl" starts out slow then evolves into a fast hardcore punk sounding song--it's great. The first 2 tracks on this CD ["Mean Girl" & Up All Night] pretty much say it all about this Unwritten Law disc. Then, up all night does almost the reverse of "Mean Girl" by starting fast and slowing down--its fantastic.
Alongside the 'hits' like "Seein' Red" and the acoustic "Rest of My Life" this CD is a must for fans of punk [i think that's what you'd classify this under]. They sort of remind me of BRAND NEW but a little more heavier with the guitars at times.
Just good listening.


Best of their albums.
Kinda of a cross between Non Point and Weezer, with a new sound at's it's core. An amazing record! No kidding one of the best discs I've heard in a while. 5 stars for sure! But avoid "Here to the mourning".


"saY yoU won'T leavE foR thE resT oF mY lifE"~
They have there own style and different types of songs that fit every mood you could posibly be in. Unwitten Law is a lot different than a most bands out there. Some are slow and acoustic and have a soft sound to them (Rest of My Life, Elva). Some songs are really fast and upbeat (Up All Night, Blame it On Me, Hellborn). Also some songs are just the right pace (Seein' Red, How You Feel, Rescue Me). But whatever music your feeling at the moment, there is something on this CD. I like pretty much every song on this album but my top 5 hav to be. .

1. Rest of My Life
2. Elva
3. Seein' Red
4. Rescue Me
5. Up All Night.
