4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, fun, fun, August 25, 2000

Chixdiggit are *funny*, but they're not as blatantly stupid and obnoxious as, say, Blink-182 (with every single verse being some homophobic remark or a fart joke). They sound like an amped-up version of good, old Cheap Trick or a way better Green Day; call it pop-punk, power pop, whatever you like. Fact is the 'diggits' supremely catchy, infectious melodies will penetrate your brain barrier and won't get away...

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't let 'fenixmxpx" steer you wrong., November 17, 2000

This review is from: From Scene to Shining Scene (Audio CD)

Chixdiggit is an excellent band. They have an original approach to pop-punk, and AJ's vocals are refreshingly well-delivered. Fenixmxpx is trying to steer you away, but he listens to fenix tx and mxpx, two amazingly generic pop bands, with two horribly annoying singers. Don't let him fool you; Chixdiggit rocks.

I think the All Music Guide said it best about these guys:

"Although they probably won't ever get any true recognition for it, Chixdiggit really does write some great songs. One listen to From Scene to Shining Scene immediately reveals what's missing from most latter-day punk rock: killer melodies."

I love Chixdiggit! for one very important reason: They. Are. Catchy. Lots of Descendents/Ramones style hooks, great energy and an overall sense of fun all elevate this band from the rest of the pack. You listen to any of their albums once and you will have lines running through your head within minutes. Melodies that sticky are a gift, a gift that too many bands just don't have.

I have all their albums, and this ones just as good as all the others. One thing that does make it different from the rest is that all the songs on here are full sized songs. You won't find any 30 second long tracks on this one.

It may not convert the pop-punk haters, but if you're cool with the sound, you'll be hard pressed to find a band doing it any better.
