I’ve been listening to MXPX for the large part of a decade, but sometimes I feel like driving down to Bremerton and delivering a good ol’ fashioned ass-whooping to Mike, Tom, and Yuri.
Their latest album Ten Years and Running is their fourth half-assed disc since 1998’s Let it Happen. The collection of remixes and semi-live tracks differ only slightly from the originals, meaning die hard MXPX fans will have to survive on table scraps for just a little bit longer. As this is a remix disc, the sound is pretty much the same hook filled, distinct punk rock we’ve all come to love. With tracks representing the band’s best material from all their albums back to their 1994 debut; Ten Years and Running is an excellent CD for a newbie to the Pokinatcha punks. I can only hope that this will keep me satisfied until their new LP, due early next year.
