When I first heard "Sugod," I thought it to be somewhat coming from Pedicab. And so I thought the whole album to sound just like it. Especially for the fact that Marc Abaya had already left Sandwich, giving the mic to Raimund Marasigan (of Pedicab, among others). But having to buy and listen to the whole album, I proved myself so wrong.
Sure, it did have some flavors of Pedicab in it but it still had that distinct taste of pure Sandwich. Even better! Each song can definitely be LSS-worthy. As of now, "In Case of Fire" is stuck in my head. Though there are some songs that sound like another in the album, but once you have listened to it closely, you'll notice the difference. Just like "View Master" and "Marikina."
All of these songs have unique lyrics. Very poetic yet straight to the point. Those songs of lyrics that caught my attention were "DVDX" "Marikina" and "Let your Cellphone Shine." The later ones being the most interesting. "Marikina" having bandnames as lyrics and "Let your Cellphone Shine" describing the last song of the last set of a gig. Definitely can be the best closing song for a gig; highly appropriate. I also couldnt help but come up with possible music video concepts for each song. They can all be so visual, you could just imagine one yourself.
The album has a lot of songs you can jump up and down to. A number of these would be "Sunburn" "Walang Kadala Dala" "In case of Fire and "Good Night January." As well, it also has slow, mellow yet still beatsome songs such as "Photocopy" "Kalendaryo" and "Let your Cellphone Shine." But of course Sandwich wouldnt be Sandwich without the rockingest songs being "Sugod" and "Resbak." Other songs include "DVDX" "View Master" and "Marikina."
Sandwich is composed of Raimund Marasigan on vocals and guitars. Myrene Academia on bass. Mong Alcaraz and Diego Castillo on guitars and Mike Dizon on drums. Five on the Floor is Sandwich's fourth album and is released under EMI Philippines. It is available in local music stores. Please buy the original copy.
