Politics, Indian Culture, and Fun Melodies: Pop The Cornershop Way

by lambchops, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jun 14 '02
Pros: Experimental pop at it's most luminous.
Cons: ...
While Cornershop is apparently well known in England for their anti-racism stance, in America the band is known for little more than one song. That song, Brimful of Asha, was in actuality more than just a funky, trippy, hip love song. In ...

Beck and Sugar Ray Take A Trip To India

by fartzarellah , Aug 29 '02
Pros: Very creative yet accessible. Weighty yet unpretentious.
Cons: A few tracks are overly repetitive.
When I was Born For The 7th Time (1997), the third CD by Cornershop, is an eclectic blend of pop, electronica, Indian music, minimalism, and hip-hop. It goes far beyond the merely experimental, however, as listening to this disc is like biting into a...

Norwegian Woods in Punjabi!!

by beerbrain , Jun 26 '02
Pros: Eclectic fusion & still within the realms of pop.
Cons: Chocolat, What is Happening?
When I Was Born For The 7th Time was released way back in 1997. By the time I got around to buying this album, it was already 2000. I don't know why I took my own sweet time buying this album. Being an Indian I hardly waste any time buying any...

Funky Days Are Back Again

by peterme , Oct 10 '99
Pros: smooth grooves and lilting melodies keep the booty moving
Cons: the occasional clunker track
Among my favorite albums of the last few years, "When I Was Born For the Seventh Time" weaves hiphop, country, house, and disco into a trance-inducing bangra-rock blend that seduces you track after track.

More than any other single...

When I was born... is a great introduction into the world of Cornershop

by pboy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Sep 29 '99
Pros: This CD offers a great introduction into a band that will heard from in the future
Cons: The CD does not flow well. It seems that the CD was one large experiment.
Don't be put off by the Indian influences in this album. Its is accessable and, yes, can even be enjoyable for everyone. Tijiner Singh, frontman for Cornershop, delivers an interesting mix of harmonic songs, country, hip hop and even rap into When I...

A great outsider record

by benauburn , Oct 06 '99
Pros: smart, accessible, different
Cons: feels inessential
Pretty much nothing misses on When I Was Born for the Seventh Time. It's all good. But what's weird about the record is how inessential it feels -- it somehow manages to place itself outside of the kind of standard rock crit. discourse and just...

Overrated? Hell no!

by Benjamin , Sep 22 '99
Pros: truly new. truly good.
Cons: The album seems disjointed at first.
This album is simply essential. Everybody should have heard of Cornershop by now. And yet, probably for the single reason that they don't have a video on MTV or a song on top forty radio, this is not the case. The album starts out with a...
