Title: OK, But It's Not Punk
Review: I really like MxPx's early stuff, but this one isn't as good. Like other reviewers, I thought this CD was too glazed over, and some of the songs sound almost...cheesy. I mean, c'mon! This is probably the first MxPx CD with any bit of cheesines in it. Pokinatcha and Teenage Politics are their best; they were made back when MxPx was really a punk band. This album lacks almost all of the energy of those first two albums. This album also lacks the statement-making, sometimes political lyrics of the first two, which I also miss. If you like Lit and Blink 182, you will like this, but if you like real punk rock, get Pokinatcha. Or, if you like a mix between hard, fast punk and pop, get Life in General, not this. This CD sounds like Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo with most of the energy and speed removed, which is not a good thing.
Is the review positive or negative?
