If there is one band that defines (at least on stage) what music means, it is this underappreciated band from San Diego. I've listened to lots of different kinds of music since my hardcore days - techno, jazz, hip-hop, etc. - but one band I will never forget, and that's Unbroken. They epitomized music and its potential to power the expression of emotion and thought with integrity, honesty, and amazing music. If you love hardcore, you must educate yourself to Unbroken. R.I.P.

Words cannot do justice to this record. It is over the top hard hitting slow grinding new school HC (with a fast part here and there) which was so popular around that time. But not as generic as your average "chugga-chugga" mosh band. These guys were musicwise far ahead of the rest and lyricwise it is very dark and gloomy (nearly poetry) full of bitterness and anger...

I find it hard to believe that no one has reviewed this record. Well as the first and can definitely say that this record is in the top five best hardcore records of all time. Each song is filled with pure emotion, with lyrics that touch on very personal experiences in their lifes. Musically you have extremely well written, heavy hitting songs. They have that 90's hardcore sound that borrows from slayersque style metal, but of that genre they certainly rise above the rest. This is a real, heart felt record and well always have a place in my music collection.

I remember sitting in my 86 Oldsmobile Cutlas Supreme, eating Taco Bell, and rocking out to Life.Love.Regret. with my boys back in high school. I wore that cassette out and totally forgot about them for a few years until recently when I got nostalgic for mid-90's hardcore. To my surprise (and relief) I was able to score a copy from amazon. Happy day. Unlike much of the music I listened to when I was 16, this cd has aged well. A must have for fans of 90's HC.

Intelligent lyrics meet heavy music, this combination can typically do no wrong. Unbroken hailed from San Diego and this (while not their best) is one of my favorite LPs ever released. 100% classic hardcore meets metal. This LP is what metalcore should sound like, but never again will.

One of the all-time definitive hardcore LPs, and bar none the greatest LP of the 1990s, hardcore or otherwise. Life.Love.Regret. was truely a special achievement for "just" a hardcore band. It is a moving piece of pure art. There is more meaning in these songs than anyone will ever fully be able to fully appreciate.

i think unbroken put their best music on their seven inches. but this is their best full length. west coast hardcore generally sucks but unbroken was the exception to the rule - one of the best hardcore bands of the 90s. if you never heard them, this cd is a great start. they're rocking, original and sincere. what more do you want from a hardcore band?
