As MxPx gets increasingly mainstream, the more they downplay their image as a Christian band.
However with The Ever Passing Moment, the band's second for A&M Records, the lyrics focus on themes which are not Christian rock per se, but definitely have some leanings in that direction.
Before punk fans go running for the hills, it is important to note that these themes are not as in your face as most Christian music.
In fact the messages of being true to yourself on the track "Prove It to the World" and not doing something just because its trendy on "Next Big Thing" are hard to distinguish from regular punk songs.
There are no mentions of God or Jesus Christ, just uplifting sentiments that make the album stand out from the standard mainstream punk of bands like Green Day and blink-182.
Beyond this, the album is, in essence, radio friendly punk with hard driving drumbeats and three chord guitar licks, and just maybe, its good for the soul.
