Sandpit - On Second Thought

MINE

Boring.  Dated.  Could have been one of hundreds of indie-rock bands around in the mid-to-late '90s.

VERDICT: THROW IT OUT


YOURZ

Their one and only album, Sandpit's On Second Thought was one of those albums I really liked when I first got it.  I played it a lot for a while but then it kind of got left behind as newer fancies caught my attention.

While I don't necessarily agree with Mine's opinion about this band, I too feel it's become dated but more because I'm no longer that sad, somewhat lonely person I was then and am certainly beyond the depressiveness of such tracks as I Positively Hate You Now and Greater Expectations.  In fact, these songs only serve to remind me of how good a band Sebadoh is and how they do this sort of thing much better than Sandpit could ever have done.

VERDICT: TURN IT DOWN
