Ever Passing Moment Review

In MxPx's 5th release "The Ever Passing Moment", the band's members continue to stress the self-righteousness that differentiates them from the genre's typical whiny, self-deprecating posture by idealistically titling tracks "Prove It To The World" and "One Step Closer To Life." The production is clean, with pop-oriented melodies and zealous energy, complementing MxPx's thrill seeking, skate/surf fan base. Most of the tracks do not exceed three minutes and act like power-chord vitamin megadoses, providing quick, frenetic rushes of punky lifeblood. The record includes points of experimentation with waltz ballads and early rock-influenced riffs, suggesting that MxPx may be venturing into new terrain. But for the time being, hard-core enthusiasts seeking non-threatening, copious guitar and drum pageantry should find The Ever Passing Moment an enjoyable addition to their collection.
