Week Twelve Review........Cornershop.........Judy Sucks A Lemon For Breakfast
#2
Cornershop…………………………..Judy Sucks A Lemon For Breakfast

Track One: Who Fingered Rock and Roll ? : If George Harrison ad ever wanted to guest on an album in 2010 then Cornershop could have been it and his instrument could have been a sitar…………………….Not an outstanding start to an album but it does have Cornershop’s trademark sound.
Track Two: Soul School..............bounces onto the scene and crates a nice little groove...pleasant but not addictive.
Track Three :Half Brick.............not sure what we intended to do here?
Track Four:Judy Sucks A Lemon For Breakfast...................This is a little nearer what one might expect from Cornershop ............A nice pop groove even if it is a little weak on some fronts.Jif Ashya had a brimful then this a little more of a small feather in a cap..............
Track Five:Shut Southall Down : No comment!
Track Six: Free Love Bland and difficult to hear the lyrics.
Track Seven:The Roll Of Characteristics (or History In The Making ). Pleasant, but not outstanding Confusedounded more like theme music for a five o clock TV show aimed at little kids.
Track Eight:Operation Push ...Indian reggae ! nice try and quite effective!
Track Nine: The Mighty Quinn..Well, a Bob Dylan cover ! Preferred the Manfred Man one
Track Ten: The Constant Springs ...Not exciting !
Track Eleven :Chamchu : Charming enough in its way.
Track Twelve:The Turned On Truth ( The Truth Is Turned On) At 16 mins 14 seconds , this is by far the longest track on the album, and its starts with rehash of the Brimful Of Asha riff......develops into a semi –gospel track but not really a good use of nearly seventeen minutes of digital information in my opinion.

I could not help feeling that I’d gone into the restaurant and ordered a vindaloo and come out with a korma here! Somehow Cornershop have lost their direction..........I think they feel that half day closing on Saturday morning is a good business idea but, the rest of us realise that it`s just bad for trade. Perhaps , its Tjinder who sucks............... ( Lemons ?) Lets hope the next one’s better!!!!!!!!!
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!

It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown.
.............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
