I own a boot of Smelly Shoes and I can tell you that it is not blink 182. Now, I'm not that familiar with Unwritten Law's catalog (I've only got 3 of their albums that I don't listen to that much) but there is no way that Smelly Shoes is blink. For one thing, the backing vocals are voices that are not Mark Hoppus, Tom Delonge, or Scott Russo. Another thing is that stylistically, the performance and songwriting sounds nothing like anything blink ever did (but it does sound like some stuff off of Oz Factor by Unwritten Law. Now there's not any concrete verification out there on this album but I would bet that it is a mislabeled Unwritten Law bootleg. As for the contents, it is a very good album with decent quality for a bootleg (save for low volume level and some dropouts).
