Out of all of the pop punk CDs I own (there aren't many) this is definitely the best. There is lots of vibe, something many new CDs today are lacking, a kind of SoCal youth vibe. From first listen on the audio samples, you may think Scott's vocals sound like Tom's from Blink-182, but in truth there is almost no similarity. Another strong point is the closings of the songs, which aren't typical punk or rock endings, they have little melodic tunes while the rest of the band is finishing the song, especially at the end of Harmonic. Yet another point is how the songs vary throughout the album. They can be very poppy (Sorry, Cailin) or very punky (Close Your Eyes, Teenage Suicide) or downright smart and inspirational (California Sky, Genocide/418). The guitars have some amazingly great melodies, especially the melancholy beginning to Harmonic, the driving chorus of Sorry, and the poppy background of Cailin. All of the tracks are standouts, seriously, but my personal favorites include Cailin, California Sky, Genocide/418 (featuring Mike Einziger and Brandon Boyd of Incubus), Harmonic, Lonesome, Close Your Eyes, and Sorry. The drums are an amazing part of the album, and you can actually hear Wade's talent throughout the greatly mastered CD. Look for Oz Factor and also buy some albums by NoFX, Millencolin, Blink-182 (Chesire Cat, please) or 10 Foot Pole.

This CD is incredible. Unwritten Law takes every espect of So-Cal rock and blends it into one excellent cd. This is probably the best punk rock cd I have heard since NOFX's Decline. Don't compare this with NOFX though, Unwritten Law has their very own unique sound. Every song explodes with an energy and raw uncut sound that no one can compare to. These guys are very talented musicians too. This isn't you usual underground bar chord punk, this music has serious depth. Harmonic, Teenage Suicide, and Before I Go really shows the talent that the band has. Genocide/418 is a great 2 song set featuring Brandon Boyd and Mike Einziger (2 of the best musicians of rock) of Incubus. Of course, there are some really hardcore punk songs on this CD too, I haven't mentioned most of my favorite songs. Anyone that likes punk rock and music that has depth and meaning will love this CD. This one will be played over and over in my CD player until the new Tool cd is released. Enjoy!

First of all, this CD's awesome and you should get it. Unwritten Law's music is kind of hard to describe. They got some music and there music isn't too hard....just hard enough. Whatever they're doing, it sounds very good. My favorite songs are Teenage Suicide and Harmonic.

I saw the video for teenage suicide and loved that song then the video for California Sky. I definatly had to go get the cd cause those were really great songs. Once i bought this CD, i couldn't stop listening to it, simply incredable!! What i dont get it why this band doesnt get that much publicity, and when i saw the case(more of a secret case or somethin) i was surprised. Well anyways this is one of the best CD i own. BUY IT!!! IT'S WORTH THE MONEY!! ROCK ON UL!!

Despite what I have read from others, I think they sound very different from another San Diego punk band that I will not name, but many late comers will recognize from running naked on MTV. I would say they sound more like Pennywise if I had to compare them to another band. Harmonic, Underground, Sorry, and Lonesome are probably the best tracks though most people will recognize it only by Cailin. A very solid CD, with the weakest song being 418 (for some reason it is not given its own track, but is shoved on to the end of Genocide) which by itself is not a bad song. I also recommend Oz Factor.
