Free Music Notes for Cup of Sand
Free Music Review: Disc one is 2 stars, disc two is 4 1/2.
Hit: 4 Stars
Their third album of collections of singles, b-sides, songs that appeared on compliations and so on. There's definitely a lot here and scattered amongst the 2 cds are some of the songs that do or very nearly do match their strongest songs on their 5 albums that I consider to be their best: incidental music, foolish, no pocky for kitty, mouth to mouth and indoor living. I don't listen to this that often while I consistently listen to those 5 over the last 2 years I've owned them. I like this collection of songs as a bit of an exploration into other almost high quality songs they have. It's got less power, less dominating 2 guitar sound and less emotionality in most of the songs. After getting their 90's albums I had to get all of their records cuz, who knew if there was more greatness they'd done. Turns out, this collection is sort of the transition record. I find disc two to have more yummy songs than disc one and it's real fun to hear them cover Scary Monsters. Yeah, disc two is almost like it's own album, distinctly stronger than disc one. Ok, on listening to cup of sand I've decided disc two is like the secret 6th best of 6 albums of theirs. Good news is, on Amazon.com you can pick this guy up rather inexpensively and you may find something you like on disc one. My favorite 5 of theirs is: incidental music, foolish, no pocky for kitty, on the mouth and indoor living. I love these guys, just not every song.
Cup of Sand Poster
The indie pride of Chapel Hill, NC, Superchunk kept its DYI spirit alive in the face of oft-shaky alt rock fortunes. This set is essentially an exercise in vault-cleaning, culling a decade's worth of outtakes, EPs, B-sides, and previously compilation-only cuts into a 25-track double-disc that chronicles the band's disparate muse--including energetic covers of Adam Ant's "Beat My Guest" and David Bowie's "Scary Monsters"--if as many undercooked ideas as accomplished ones. Superchunk's strength has always been as a singles band, and when their music is focused into the smart, propulsive energy of "Basement Life" or the Indoor Living outtake "The Majestic," it's as good as anything their more successful contemporaries churned out. Snarky acoustic takes of "1000 Pounds" and "Detroit Has a Skyline" also showcase the band's intriguing range of musical colors and emotion. Superchunk devotees will welcome the band's detailed comments on every track and the collection's convenient gathering of tracks from a daunting range of eclectic sources, if only four previously unreleased cuts. --Jerry McCulleyAlternative Rock Music CDs
