Hmmm...

"Unwritten Law has gone slightly downhill. On Elva, we saw some good old fashioned punk-rock laced with some slightly harder content. Also, it had some pretty good lyrics. I picked up 'Here's to the Mourning' expecting it to be more of the same, if not slightly harder. What I got was dumbed down, "why can't I be on the radio?" modern rock. For example, the lyrics are just inane, making no sense, merely trying to rhyme wherever it seems like it needs to. You'll hear nothing really new here, just some tired riffs and progressions that you've doubtless heard before in other places.
On the plus side, this IS Unwritten Law, and some of the songs are undeniably catchy and good to bounce your head to. I just think that this band is capable of much better music. This one's a miss, but I sure hope that their next album shows recovery."
Good Follow-Up To Elva

"Bought this a long time ago and I still love it. Similar to Elva musically, with the band showing their ability to produce yet another great album with back-to-back great songs one after the next. Best Songs = She Says, Save Me, Walrus"
