What we noticed

  • The 21-song main sequence is broken up by very short titles and abrupt comic turns; the catalogued remixes and extra songs begin after “Abri atomique.”
  • The opening and closing tracks are both labeled “dramatique,” framing the run of short, fast songs with matching bookends.
  • Several titles borrow from cartoons, horror and pop culture, while “Un cri inutile sur un disque inutile” turns the album’s own format into part of the joke.
