In my CDplayer: The new MxPx! This album was released by A & M Records in cooperation with Tooth & Nail. On it are fifteen songs that fill exactly forty minutes. Like on previous recordings the band presents quality poppunk material. Over the years the quality became better as these three guys developed and matured further, as musicians. The Ever Passing Moment still has some of the youthful energy as featured on the first two albums, only the melodies got bigger. Take for instance Buildings Tumble that starts like a song that could have been on their previous stuff, but it develops more poppy. Overall this record has a lot of pop elements like you can hear in Responsibility. Their Christian roots are perhaps displayed best in Foolish and It's Undeniable. This is a pretty cool album again.

The band even discusses this musical transition in a short interview segment found on the CD-ROM portion of the disc. On it, Mike describes their new sound as…The Phantom Tollbooth 2000Reviewed by Matthew RiddleEveryone's favorite left coast punk band, MxPx, is back with their 8th label offering, The Ever Passing Moment. There has been a torrent of punk releases in the recent months, many of which can be filed in your CD rack under, "Sounds like...". In a sea of cookie-cutter punk bands, can MxPx separate themselves from the rest? Yes. This is a very good punk record. MxPx has always been musically…Similar sounding releases
