The Hit List is the seventh album by the San Diego -based rock band Unwritten Law , released on January 2, 2007 by Abydos Records. It is a "best of" album that includes 3 songs from their 2005 album Here's to the Mourning , new studio recordings of 14 songs from their earlier albums, and the new songs "Shoulda Known Better" and "Welcome to Oblivion." The earlier songs were all re-recorded by the current lineup of the band, and some differ significantly from the original recordings, reflecting changes in the band's lineup and musical style over the years.
This was the last release by the band to feature drummer Tony Palermo , who left in March 2008 to join Papa Roach .
