[edit]First I wanna talk about this review. Read this quote, it says they have played pop punk but that was until they signed to A&M RECORDs, saying its punk and was before the pop sound, DENYING it as pop punk.
"For one to say that MxPx did not play a part in the revolution of 2nd wave punk (pop/punk) is to say that the Beastie Boys were not the predecent to rapcore. Before bands like Good Charlotte and Blink 182 became popular, there was MxPx's 1994 breakthrough record Pokinatcha. Before Tom became the permanent guitarist, a guy named Randy jammed with Mike and Yuri on a blistering 21 tracks of pure punk craziness. These guys were more open with their faith on this record with lyrics such as "when I am weak He becomes strong" on "Weak" and "there's something inside those jars of clay" on "Jars of Clay." Their ode to teenage love also included a spiritual morsel on "Want Ad" with the lyrics "I'm lookin for a girl who writes me songs, and talks to Jesus all day long."
However, don't be too quick to point out that MxPx were overtly preachy punksters until their days with A&M Records; these guys also knew how to have fun with their music, which is evident in songs like "PxPx," "Another Song About TV," "Time Brings Change," and the humorous "Bad Hair Day." Other songs on the album that bring about spiritual truths without pushing the listener over the edge are "Anywhere But Here," "One Way Window," "Jay Jay's Song, and "Think Twice.""
Also even this source says that they went more pop punk with before everything and after. [1]
Besides this album doesn't sound pop, it's pure punk. 174.233.128.230 (talk) 23:28, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
This album is punk in its entirety. Has blendings of hardcore punk (PxPx) and skate punk, nurtured by influences from Pennywise and NOFX. ManneredMan (talk) 00:18, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
- Sources for ant of this would be best. Anything short of that is genre warring Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:36, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
