5.0 out of 5 stars With "Life In General", both punk rock and MxPx shine, December 3, 1999

By	Dane Marvin "killbosby.com" (Omaha, NE) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The trouble with lots of pop-punk bands and their releases these days is that the songs have little variety to offer from one to the next. That said, MxPx, in its best album to date, is an exception to the rule. Plenty of variety abounds this 17-track treasure chest of power punk. If you like pop punk or melodic punk and haven't heard MxPx, prepare to fall in love with their sweet guitars and ultra-catchy melodies. There's also plenty of variety in drumbeats--hardcore OR slower pace--MxPx isn't limited to one or the other. "Middle Name", "Move to Bremerton", "Doin' Time", "Chick Magnet", "Southbound", and "Destroyed By You" are just a few of the great songs on this must-have CD for MxPx fans...or punk/rock/pop fans in general.

5.0 out of 5 stars I have to agree, this CD is their best...., April 11, 2003

By	Jason A. Nowak "JayLovesPunkRock" (Buffalo, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I own 9 MXPX CDs and have to agree with most of the reviewers that say it's their best. I love "Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo," and "Let it Happen" - well, ok, I love them all, but just about EVERY song on this disc is hard and fast and raw. Yuri is pounding the life out of the drums and Mike is belting out lyrics like he's not using a mic. I'd have to say that if you don't own any MXPX CDs this is a good one to start with. If, however, you already have some but not this one, then this is a MUST OWN since you'll find it will re-energize your love for this band. Also check out their side project "Cootees" and certainly the hidden gem of a band - "Slick Shoes," very similar to MXPX.

5.0 out of 5 stars I think this is a very good CD. Definetly worth getting., June 12, 1998

By A Customer

This CD is very good. It has 17 tracks. All very good. In case you didn't know, MxPx is a Christian punk rock band. Compared to some of their other albums, Teenage Politics for instance, it's basicly the same kind of music. In this album they sing more about life in general. Hence the name. Some of the main things they sing about are girls, their hometown Bremerton, and of course, growing up. As in Teenage Politics, they also sing a lot about government and politics. There is no swearing or crude language in this CD. Don't let the mohawked hair or the earings fool you into thinking that they are stupid teens trying to get public attention. At first you may think they sound exactly like Green Day, but MxPx's lyrics are worth listening to, unlike Green Day's.
