X

The Best: Make the Music Go Bang!

More so than other punk acts, X lends itself well to a compilation because of the band’s consistent early material and also the more hit-or-miss nature of its later years. The previously released two-disc anthology “Beyond and Back” featured a bevy of b-sides, demos and rarities, manna for completists but maybe not the best introduction to the legendary L.A. act. “Make the Music Go Bang!” rectifies the oversight with a different two-disc selection of X’s best.

Take away: Excellent start
