If anything, kicking and screaming is something you still do over toys at Toys at Toys R Us with your mom.<br>POSTED: 04/20/2006 01:14pm]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[So, normally I just read these reviews and take away what I can, but I need to respond to the review that the UG team wrote. I believe (and others will probably agree) that this is the worst review I ever read for any album. It is completely unprofessional. I mean, learn how to spell. Anyway, I also want to respond to the criticism in the review. MXPX has been my favorite band since high school (I'm now almost a year out of college). I believe that they put out great music with every release--hands down. However, I will admit that the last few releases have been a little lax for my taste. Before Panic came out, I thought to myself, "Wow, this is going to be MXPX's last real chance for redemption with me." Don't get me wrong, EPM, the Renaissance E.P., and BEAF were all good albums, but they lacked the intensity, emotion, and musical content of former albums such as SGTWOTB (my personal favorite), Life in General, Teenage Politics, etc. They became more mainstream and poppy--the watered down aftermath that especially took massive hits to their former lyrical content. However, getting back to my point, from day 1 of listening to Panic I was hooked (it stayed in my cd player for over a month straight). This album still may not be the most amaizing disk ever released, but it brought MXPX back to a place they seemed to leave a few years ago. This album has material spanning the different sounds they've used since the beginning, and shows a lot of musical maturity. I know that the review seemed to pick at the seams of the lyrics on this album, but your reasoning for calling the lyrics "cheesy" is not backed up at all. MXPX has always been a very great band lyrically (read lyrics from "pokinatcha" and "SGTWOTB"). Mike Herrera pens some of the finest words around, but make no mistake that you need to look into his words for the deeper meaning. You can't just take all the lyrics at face value. I'm not going to lie, though, there are some cheesy lyrics in their library, but at the same time you have to remember that Mike Herrera is a very sentamental writer. This is extremely appealing to those of us who have been around as fans for quite some time. It makes us feel as if we are a part of this band: it's bigger than just music. A lot of us takes these lyrics and feel as though they were written about our own lives. Furthermore, as I touched on earlier, I agree with the UG team that MXPX is not going to change the face of punk rock music with this release. However, they are definately keeping this genre interesting. With every album they change a bit, and become more mature. Some of their songs/albums may flop, but that happens. As a musician myself, I know the importance of reinvention. If you don't change your sound then at some point you're going to lose listener interest and find yourself working a job 9-5 instead of rocking out every night. MXPX has changed and are continuing to change, but they are sticking to the formula that made them a success in the first place, and fans will continue to listen. "Panic" was a huge step for MXPX, and honestly probably what fans have been waiting for for some time. Finally, I just want to say that even though I am a huge fan I still criticize as much as the next person. I can admit it when one of their albums is not a success. However, I do believe that they should be given credit when credit is due, and I believe that it is due with the release of "Panic."<br />
<br />
P.S. I have listened to and own that Rise Against album ("Siren Song of the Counter Culture) and it's nothing special.<br>POSTED: 01/06/2007 05:15am]]></description>
