"I had the chance to see Social Unrest with (Jason Honea) back in the 80's, open up for Sonic Youth (great bill). Talk about different scene's together. I grew up with their old singer (Creetin K-os) and liked him very much, but their sound was typical at the time. Thats why I spent more time listening to PUNK from differt countries around the world. When I bought SU-2000...I fliped. It really move me, MUSIC, LYRICS, SOUND and when I saw the way he trashed about the stage...riped the microphone from the cord people knew(Sonic Youth fans)...that he moved people. Witch was hard for two different scene's at the time. Forget the PUNK bands that you can think of. Social Unrest is (which is very sad) a UNDER RATED PUNK BAND...and can go toe to toe with any of them! AND IT'S 2006.....LISTEN UP"

Perfect hardcore

"The first 7 or so songs on this cd are among the best American Punk I have ever heard. The music is extremely raw like punk should always be, yet somehow Social Unrest can combine the catchiest twists in their songs that only adds to the intensity. I like the second vocalist on the second half of the cd less, but its still really good. This album is a must-buy for the first seven songs. Social Unrest definetly needs to be appreciated by more people who are into punk...the first 7 songs are at least as good or better than early Black Flag and Circle Jerks."
