MXPX - Let's Rock
Reviewed by dcsfinest
If you want the punk and you want it hard, MxPx’s Let’s Rock doesn’t exactly deliver as advertised. It’s a compilation of 12 tracks recorded over a six-year period, and it’s a little heavy on the power ballads. Some of them are better than others (the closing track “Last Train” is pretty well put together,) but it’s like these guys recorded the album watching reruns of Dawson’s Creek. When they don’t come off so depressed, like on the rocker “Make Up Your Mind,” things are a lot more interesting. But on the whole, this album is probably a little too bratty for real rock fans.
