Let It Happen

Let It Happen is a B-sides album released in 1998 by the pop punk band MxPx. It consists of material recorded prior to the band signing to A&M Records. The demo version of "Chick Magnet" contains a sample from the Kevin Smith film Mallrats.

In November 2006, a deluxe edition was released which had a slightly different track listing than the original release. Specifically, three new songs were added to the beginning ("Role Remodeling", "Prozac", "Your Turn"), and the last six songs were removed from the original and three original demos ("Twisted Words", "Suggestion Box", "Too Much Thinking") replaced them. It comes with a DVD with music videos.
