"This was the first Jawbreaker album I bought. I used to like it but then when I bought 24 hour and Bivouac, I kinda forgot this one. 24 hour is the most accesible and Bivouac is really particular, so perhaps thats why I got stucked with those two. But now, after being listening this band for some years I can say this one has something the others doesn't have. It's more honest, and imperfect, and that what makes it so good. Want is a great song, I don't agree with a review written here where the song is underrated just because is one of their popular songs. Not any pop punk band writes a song like Want. It's a song about relationship,love, but it's more than that. I think the point in the song is all the suffer happening inside one's brain. And the words are clever. Damn, few people can write lyrics like Blake does.
It's also their most punk album. And very angry, but not as sad as Bivouac. The addition of the Black and White ep is great. And well, the songs are all great, especially the first 6 or 7 songs in the album."

The best punk band evers. And this is their best CD.

"This CD is perfect. Blake's brilliant. The CD is brilliant. In fact, everything Jawbreaker has ever put out is incredible, and this is their best true punk CD."

One of the best debut punk efforts ever

"Whenever Jawbreaker would play live a selection from there first cd "Unfun," it was guaranteed to drive fans ecstatic. Interestingly enough, on the second effort "Bivouac" Blake laments about having to play these same songs and they seldom did. These cd is raw, heartfelt, innovative and explosive. "Want" was an instant anthem and "Busy," although they no longer played it live, is classic - the lyrics are incredible. This is one of those cds you'll always be proud to own, and as far as punk rock debut records, this is on of the bests. Comprising of songs written around the days when Jawbreaker were NYU students, this is a remarkable, inspired effort."
