Our Take
Hugh Cornwell's "All the Fun of the Fair" is a carnival ride of a record, packed with thrills, spills, and a few dodgy fairground hot dogs along the way. The former Stranglers frontman has always been known for his sharp songwriting and sardonic wit, and this album is no exception. The opening track, "Rollercoaster," sets the tone perfectly with its swirling guitars and catchy chorus that will have you singing along while waiting in line for the teacup ride. Cornwell's unmistakable voice cuts through the chaos, guiding you through the carnival madness with a cheeky grin and a knowing wink. Tracks like "Dodgems" and "Fun House" bring a sense of nostalgic fun to the album, evoking memories of sticky candy floss fingers and winning oversized teddy bears at the shooting range. But don't be fooled by the veneer of innocence - there's a darker edge lurking beneath the neon lights and spinning rides. "All the Fun of the Fair" is a wild ride from start to finish, with Cornwell proving once again why he's one of the most exciting and enduring figures in British rock music. So grab your ticket, hold on tight, and enjoy the ride - just watch out for the clowns. Final rating: 8.5/10
