Critiques CD: Mr Oizo | Stade 2

Mr Oizo ups the annoying on this album that sounds like an epileptic having a fit to a cheesy videogame soundtrack. Mr Oizo calls it himself with his second track, “Douche Beat”. It’s not that Mr Oizo isn’t clever, but this is just lots of unpleasant experiments that never develop into tracks but aren’t songs either, just hard squidgy beats that don’t really go anywhere with random “funny” vocal interjections. Mr Oizo’s usually ridiculous/ironic stance to dance music does nothing to redeem this disposable album, though if you’re a big fan already Stade 2 may do it for you.
