    Kudos to Cameron for shoring up his strength and providing us with such a bold venture.

    Its steady pace and relatively tame nature (by his standards) means it might not be his most immediately striking release, but it’s still testament to his talent as an astute alt-pop songwriter.

    Oxy Music is not, however, any kind of masterpiece, but it is another surprisingly consistent concept album, one just as slick and depraved as Forced Witness was, even without the extra schtick.

    Alex Cameron returns to the more overtly acerbic studies in modern male toxicity that established the Australian singer-songwriter as a suave provocateur. [Apr 2022, p.25]

    In classic Alex Cameron form, ‘Oxy Music’ is full of true lyrical artistry in the most to-the-point way possible.

    Oxy Music's greatest strength is that it makes the plight of an addict easy to understand and sympathize with, and may even help addicts who tune in feel less alone.

    For how clearly smart, ambitious, and upsettingly tuneful Cameron is, it’s a pity that he uses his talent for these exercises in sophistry, music that feels so vacuous and fleeting that it becomes one with the very modernity it seeks to lampoon.

Is it Andy Kaufman level of performance art??..... meh, not quite.... Alex is always trying to be likeable, just in his own way, which is always aces no matter which album it is. 9/10. Expand

    Don't get in the bin!! What a great album with the majority of tracks meditative and humorous yet empathetic takes on drug addiction. AlexDon't get in the bin!! What a great album with the majority of tracks meditative and humorous yet empathetic takes on drug addiction. Alex Cameron will hopefully be making these albums for a very long time. The beauty of Cameron's is their growing power as you pick up on hilarious lines and themes with each listen. Track highlights: Prescription Refill, K Hole, Cancel Culture. Expand
