This album is the follow up to Unwritten Law's live acoustic album, From Music In High Places. There were many problems going through this album, such as bass player Pat Kim's father was in bad health. But they still put together an amazing album.
Unwritten Law:
Scott Russo - Vocals
Steve Morris - Guitar
Rob Brewer - Guitar (Was removed from the band in April 2005)
Pat Kim (PK) - Bass
Tony Palermo - Drums
Intro:
Has an electronic type of feel to it. No lyrics but is very cool and flows seamlessly into the next song. 7.5/10
Get Up:
One of the best songs on the album. It has a great guitar riff and good lyrics, "Come entertain us/So stupid it's contageous." Great for one of the opening tracks. 10/10
Celebration Song:
Sounds very similar to "Get Up", but it's just as good. The song's theme is to celebrate life as opposed to stopping it. Another highlite on the album. 10/10
Because of You:
This is my least favorite song on the album. It is very poppy and unlike most Unwritten Law songs. It's still an okay track though. 6.5/10
Lost Control:
After having a poppy song they go into a song that sounds like the Unwritten Law everyone is used to hearing. The chorus is very simple, "Woah oh oh," but sounds great. This is my favorite song on the album. 10/10
Save Me:
The 1st single off of the album. Kind of slows down the pace from Lost Control. Scott had help writing the song from Linda Perry. It's not my favorite song but it's still pretty catchy. 7.5/10
I Like the Way:
It has a strange beginning, but leads into an amazing verse and chorus. Very catchy lyrics like, "I got a cyclone woman and she's cookin' up a pound of pills." Another highlite on the album. 10/10
Slow Dance (Hide Away):
This is one of the songs that is not really serious like the others on the album. With lyrics like, "Slow dance, make a chance with me, take off your pants with me." A pretty good song. 8.5/10
She Says:
This is the 2nd single. Starts off with acoustic in the verses and then in the chorus the electric guitars come in and it sounds amazing. Probably the best song lyrically also, "Flip through the script and tell me what it says, skip through the story tell me how it ends." My second favorite on the album. 10/10
Rejection's Cold:
This song will get a little old after a while. It's good the first few times you listen to it but the rest of the album is much better. 7/10
F.I.G.H.T.:
Another one of the best songs on the album. The backing vocals really help this song, "I heard you were concerned with my life, I heard you had a lot to say, Motherf**king, thanks for nothing." Another highlite on the album. I was at the show when the played this song live for the first time. 10/10
Walrus:
This is a pretty cool song. It's sort of a blues song with an Unwritten Law touch to it. The lyrics seem like Scott is talking about a lot of problems or something. "Everything is gay, everyone is fake." or "Si-si-si-sitting back with that look on your face, like I'm a piece of crap and you're a f**king ace." But just as you think the song is over, there is about 4 minutes of silence and then it goes into the hidden track, "Machine" This is probably Unwritten Law's fastest and most hardcore song. It is a great addition to the album. A great closing song. 10/10
