Unlike the usual dance drivel, Sandstorm feels exciting, like you should be revving a car up in Fast and Furious or something to that effect. It's good action music, which makes it great for the first round of finals and compliments the robot game. Additionally, there's no dance that gets in the audience's way. The dance songs are good for technical delays, but when they are overplayed they get annoying for two reasons: the dancing isn't as fun the fourth and fifth time, and it's a reminder of how many failures there have been so far. Sandstorm is never used in those scenarios.
