Engineers include: Marc DeSisto, Eddie Ashworth, Mike McMullen. A unique Japanese issue of the notable punk group's successful release includes an additional bonus track. 2002. The fourth full-length from the San Diego latter-day punk quintet is bristling with energy, radio-ready hooks, and a full-on production that highlights the band's muscular musical smarts and nuanced lyrical sensibilities. The anthemic "Seein' Red" is an obvious crowd pleaser, while "Geronimo" belies its sensitive verses with sledgehammer pop-punk choruses. No space is wasted here. ELVA is packed with snappy moments such as the intro to "Actress, Model..." ("Dear Mom, I'm dating an actress"), that leads to a witty dissection of the give-and-take of celeb relationships and the acerbic chorus ("Actress, model dancer--whatever,") that points to a sardonic, Ray Davies-like view of celebrity. But Unwritten Law's collective heart obviously remains in rock, as evidenced on tracks such as "Babalon," album-opener "Mean Girl," and "Blame It on Me," upping the ante on the latter with an irresistible stacked vocal chorus for a winning one-two punch to the gut of pop mediocrity
