Acoustic MxPx Song

[Jason Tate]

An acoustic version of "Heard that Sound" from MxPx (http://www.absolutepunk.net/mxpx) is now streaming on their tour page (http://www.purevolume.com/reelbigfishmxpxsummertour).

why?

[loudpunkguitar]

it sounds kinda awful...

[Tony]

They took a shitty song and made it even worse. I guess I have to applaud them for that.

[Slaur]

I love it!

[CurtyB]

wow...one of my least favorite bands ever. They were good back when pop punk was new...if they were a new band today idk if they would have ever gotten signed...they just sell records bc of their rep

[ProjectMayhem33]

a band way past there prime

[kittypants]

such a boring song. it was good for..2 listens

[zizou1790]

hahaa Whole Wheat Bread are such misfits on this tour

[stevecrumb]

good song. shouldn't have done it acoustic. past "there"(their) prime? that's a joke. let me guess... they should have stopped before everpassing moment? think up something original. they still write good songs.

You can't think up new versions of the truth. Everpassing Moment wasn't awful, but it had very little lasting value. And it's been a steep decline since then. Face the facts, even though you may still love this band, they are WAY past their prime and should have thrown in the towel several years ago.

[stevecrumb]

so because they don't play the kind of music you like anymore, they're past the prime and need to quit making music? that's lame man. i didn't realize that bands have a responsibility to you to only play the music you like or stop making music all together. in that case, i don't understand why a lot of bands are playing because there's tons of music i don't like.

what happened to when people could just appreciate music for being music? or at least respect it.

I'd have to agree. The album before Panic was not good at all. I won't lie - I enjoyed "Everything Sucks," but I think everything they've released in this milennium has been just so-so, if not a huge disappointment. Panic was okay, but nothing like their stuff from the 90's. I feel like Mike Herrera should stick to guest vocals and producing, but that could just be me.

I just wanted to say that The Everpassing Moment is without a doubt the best album MxPx has ever released. Its definitely up there with Teenage Politics as their best album. Those who say that The Everpassing Moment doesn't have the staying power of their other albums have not really listened to TEPM closely enough. TEPM is a deceptively deep record coated in poppy goodness, and if you can look past the song "Responsibility", it contains the most inspiring, thoughtful, and mature lyrics of any MxPx album to date.

So, everyone needs to put away their copies of "Life In General" (which is far from their best album...its probably their fourth best) and "Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo" and give "The Everpassing Moment" another spin. With songs like "One Step Closer to Life", "Foolish", "Buildings Tumble", and "Unsaid"; MxPx have crafted a lyrically deep and perfect POP-punk album with TEPM. Plus dont forget that every single track on this album is outstanding, and the album flows much better than any MxPx album that came before or after it.

As far as "Before Everything and After" goes, it is also an EXCELLENT album. However it is indeed much different than anything MxPx has ever released. This album is definitely a personal reflection of the lives of Mike, Tom, and Yuri as they recorded it around the time that they all got married. Thus, almost every song on this album is a love song. I tend to agree that, as a whole, most of the songs on this album aren't "fast enough", but their are still some classic songs on this record. "The Capitol", "You Make Me, Me", and "You're Not Alone Anymore" are some of the best songs MxPx has ever written. Not to mention, this album had so much mainstream potential its not even funny. "Well Adjusted", "Its Alright", "First Day of the Rest of Our Lives", and "Quit Your Life" all should have been mainstream radio singles. In short, "Before Everything and After" is a very underrated album that people seem to bash for no apparent reason. Sure, its not the style of music they played on "Life In General", but its not supposed to be the same type of music. Bands are supposed to evolve, and BEA represents a perfect evolution of MxPx's sound at the time that bands like Good Charlotte, New Found Glory, and The Ataris were hitting it really big.

Lastly, for the people who say MxPx haven't recorded anything good this century, have you even heard their "Acoustic EP" that comes with the "B-Movie" DVD? The songs on the acoustic EP are all very good as well....especially "Silver Screen" and the acoustic version of "Grey Skies Turn Blue". Also, check out some of their B-Sides as well. "Family Affair" and "Say Yes" are both fun songs, "Broken Hearts Disease" is a great "Before Everything and After" sounding song (even though its a Panic B-side) and "Arrest Me" is a far better song than anything that actually made it on to "Panic."

Maybe I'm a little biased then. I've been a MxPx fan since Life In General came out, and since I've seen them grow with their sound, I think they've definitely digressed since then. Slowly Going The Way is easily their best, and to say that their albums previous to Panic are better is a shameful remark. But it's your opinion, so that's fine.

I just think The Ever Passing Moment lacked a lot of qualities that made me fall in love with MxPx in the first place, and i was immediately let down when it came out. Then they came out with arguably their worst album, Before Everything and After. I liked Panic a lot more, but I think MxPx is, unfortuantely, a relic of the past; they are referred to as the godfathers of pop-punk for a reason, because their relevance is only heard in the bands that are influenced by them. Don't get me wrong, I love MxPx, but unlike bands that were starting out around the time they got big (blink-182 mainly), they haven't ever really changed their sound too much to stay relevant in a scene where the music is always developing.

But, like I said, this is just my personal opinion.

I believe this is was recorded in the edge 1039 studio here in Phoenix, so I don't understand the (Exclusive Acoustic) since it is on a cd that you could buy here in Phoenix.
