SHAZAM

Formerly France's hottest superstar DJ, Bob Sinclar has since been usurped by David Guetta's recent onslaught of star-studded collaborations, a turn of events that appears to have inspired his ninth studio album, Disco Crash. The 42-year-old is no stranger to the idea of the odd hook-up, but the follow-up to 2010's Made in Jamaica is the first time he's assembled such an esteemed array of guests on one record. Unfortunately, despite its impressive roll call, its 12 tracks are unlikely to reap the same rewards as his fellow ever-present Frenchman. Disco Crash occasionally harks back to his earlier and more palatable DJ days, but on the whole, it's a formulaic bandwagon-jumping affair suggesting that Sinclar is now content to play the fool. ~ Jon O'Brien, Rovi
