Customer Reviews

Hard-hitting alterno-pop package really delivers.
The Gravel Pit Manifesto is one of the few "alternative" albums that truly has staying power in my collection. Moreso than in any other of their albums, Manifesto rewards its listeners with the style of infective pop hooks and concise phrasing that made alternative such a stalwart on the music scene in the early 90's. Manifesto was responsible for putting The Gravel Pit on the national market and rightly attracted the attentions of listeners who liked the energy of albums like Quicksand's "Slip", but who also were looking for tight pop hooks, like those in Ween's "Chocolate and Cheese" or Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit."

Buy this CD!!!!
I bought this album after buying the Gravel Pit's most recent - Silver Gorilla. I was very surprised to find out that I like Manifesto every bit as much. I just ordered their third CD today. Favorite song is "Shivers". I just saw them live and they were amazing...go see them if you get the chance.
