Murphy's Law: Jimmy "G" Drescher (vocals); Todd Youth (guitar); Dean Ripler (bass); Eric Arce (drums). Despite the album's serious subtext of paying tribute to slain friend Charles Valle (the CD even comes with a petition, pre-addressed to the Los Angeles District Attorney Office, urging the judge to administer "the harshest sentencing" possible to Valle's killer), Dedicated is another collection of Murphy's Law's weed-obsessed, couch potato punk anthems like "Greenbud" and "Bag of Snacks." The catchier selections, like "Dysfunctional Family," make the album worthwhile, and longtime fans should be pleased. ~ Andy Hinds
