The unseen are truly amazing on this album, writing political lyrics and intresting and some of the best punk anthems they've come up with yet. These guys truly amaze me.
On the other side-5/5-great intro song. Sounds alot like scream out because it links into it.
Scream Out-5/5- This is one of the greatest punk anthems ive heard in awhile. On the other side flows right into it which sounds really cool. Check out the video.
The end is near-4/5-this one is short and sweet with an intro where mark shouts something about the brains behind the muscle getting what they deserve. I also like the "the end is near" at the end.
Weapons of mass deception-4.75/5-this one has grown alot on me. It has great lyrics and is a great anthem.
You can never go home-4.5/5-this one is a little lighter kinda sounds like older unseen stuff. This one rocks.
Dead weight falls-5/5-this one is simply awsome, it is truely incredible.
Force fed-5/5-awsome anthem, my third favorite on the album.
Social damage-4/5-Not to mind blowing after force-fed but still great.
Waste of time-5/5-this one is mind blowing, and definatly my favorite on the album. I could rave about it for hours but ill spare you and tell you its great.
Hit and run-4.5/5-like social damage it suffers from coming after an amazing song, but great guitar and good lyrics make it very worthy.
We are all that we have-4.75/5-Marks voice rocks on this one and Lars Fredricksen from Rancid sing which is really awsome.
flames have destroyed-4/5- not the best, too short, but still a very good song. Great screaming
Final Execution(Armageddon)-5/5- Simply awsome. Really catchy, and good lyrics.
Paint it black-5/5-Rolling stones cover, and i'll tell you its amazing, the song really works with the unseen.

I know this isn't the same old Unseen that we all knew and loved, but you have to admit it's pretty damn good. You could tell that they started to transform when you heard "Explode." (Or at least, that's when it became amazingly apparent) And since then they've been allowing their "Hardcore" influences shine through the music. If you are amazingly critical and think that every band's new album sucks, then this definately isn't the album for you. Sure it's got some politics, but they don't show up as well as...say, NOFX's...

Oh, and the Paint It, Black cover is AMAZING!

A great album from the modern street punk kings . It's cleaner than the old stuff and isn't that a good thing in many ways. This is no nonsense punk rock . If like bands like the casualties and a global threat you'll be into this .

Like it or not it's some pretty good music soooooo I have five words
Buy it
or
try it!

If you love bands like anti-flag then you will really dig this album. awesome sound, intelligent lyrics, all put together really well

I'm sorry but never cover a great song by a great band, you will never make a song as good as theirs. Other than that the album was okay, one of the songs had a part where they shout "Why, why, why, why, why, why" ... I hate that song. The guy who said they beat a dead horse the best was right. They beat the hell out of that horse.

Why this band isn't more popular is beyond me... they are incredible. This cd is strong from the opening track to the final note of Paint It Black. I can't reccommend this band enough they are the best. The whole album is practically perfect and they even managed to do a great job covering a Rolling Stones song... Paint It Black

Well... how to begin... I saw these guys on Fuse with their video for "Scream Out" and had bought the album within the week. In a world of soft-core mediocre music where good punk is hard to find, this is nothing less than a perfect CD. I remember listening to "The Other Side" for the first time and thinking, 'okay, this is pretty good,' and it turned out to be the worst song on the CD, 'cause every other track can only be justified with the title of 'Flawless' It's fast paced, energy filled, makes it hard to listen to and keep still. The lyrics are cleverly thought out, from the punk Anthem "Scream Out" that refers to musical therapy, to the political views on "Weapons of Mass Deception" and "Force Fed" which manage to sound very realistic and not just the 'Bush is bad, yep, Bush is bad' that some bands pull off, to the darker and one of the better songs "Hit and Run," that describes an accident in which someone hits a kid with his/her car. To sum it up without making this an incredibly long review, this CD is perfect, I would tell anyone in the world that's not a poser to buy it, you won't regret it.

This is how a punk record should sound. This record maks the latest installment from Rancid look like a Raffi album. I can't reccomend this album enough if you like catchy hard edged punk.

This is the third Unseen album I've bought and I haven't been disappointed yet. I downloaded this a month ago and have been listening to it almost everyday since. I bought it yesterday when it came out. This album seems a little more polished than the other two I have, Explode and The Anger And The Truth. The only bad thing about about this CD, as with all punk CDs I've listened to, is that it is very short (I put all three albums on one 80-minute disc without having to overburn). Their version of Paint It Black, originally by the Rolling Stones, is my favorite track on the disc. This is definitely an album to get you pumped.
