What we gotten there: An intro with the Zero Musique's video-chat crew, lots of Donald Trumps, Covid, Black Friday sales, Justin Trudeau, many YouTube and Tiktok references in the writing and many times, a loot of self-depreciation to the wrong things of the modern-day world. Already, I went with some disappointment with his 2017s Best Ove. Here, its just corny, harmless and also trying too hard to that matter. I says so because I were become a fan of his work at teenager by a past friend of my older brother, by also growth the fan of me by the days he worked on his TV Journul and the one skits from Europe.
The best way to describe his work and genius is the ability to make us working our way to write and more importantly, speak the french language correctly with right words. Especially in his Europe works. There's lots of informations that would be describe in just one single line of dialogue. His penchant for puns could be great to corny to just plain forgettable, even if he known that not every of his wordplays are classical! It have to do of how he "written" his scripts, in his own Home Studio, by spending all the day for creating, registered the vocal and ship it to the radio stations for be plays the next morning before to keep it back in the vaults forever. As someone who wanna seen him released a complete year of his work to disc would be just unrealistic, when consumers don't longer buy discs anymore and that he often saying that his label can't allow itself to do everything he want, like in the Tome 9's final track and reason why there's no longer bonus materials in the very end of his later albums.
Little seems to be impressed that Frank was back in life with a newer album, with the sanitary retsrictions and all the conspiracies about the vaccinees, the G5 technology, and that was done before everyone moved away of the big city for the regional towns, which it displeased me now that the traffic is been louder, people are been rude and uncivilized anywhere by their headphones, sunglasses and smartphones in hand or that in many residential precincts, tons of junk-foods restaurants are opened there without ever consult the people from neighborood. Especially near of the Cégep, they opened tons of these restaurants that went with real Type-2 diabete, boulimia disorder and morbid obesity for what that contain at foods.
Sadly, there was nothing from the "Traduc Guy" who mis-translating anything says in an english-speaking conference, skits that are been fun and hilarious first became uncomfortable to hear on and one start to really missed like me the days where he making fun to parodying simply the slice-of-lifes or TV shows, besides to be warned with climatic crisis and by be a Montreal Canadians/hockey fan.
And to seen him released it by Digital only is just one foot note in the evolution of the musical industry. The reason why people don't purchase physical albums on anything have to do that everything has doubled and dropped for their actual budget in order to consum culture on a basical way. In the times when my parents were young, a random vinyl Record do costs just 50 cents or even less. A mid-century later, that went like $50! Who can paid that by the times the basic stuff is all on a high price?
Even the Hipsters who are probably the kind of clientele for this would took a lot of pains to be able to purchase this, and when the sound quality has deteriorated with technology unless the Video one. Everything is scratched with weird and out-of-nowhere screaming sounds touchs as if the microphone went came from a tunnel or something. There's none succession in sound engineers anymore, and one could blame the creation of smartphones for this drift on audio quality all over.
I finally decide to ordered it for Christmas 2024, but one mistep was made at Christmas Eve! It was the wrong album that featured on the USB keyboard that should contain the materials of this album. 10 days later, the situation was fix and I definitely achieved to completed his albums oeuvre, but what a bittersweet way to ended an impressive 30-years+ career at humorist, singer-composer and editor!
Easily the best times when Frank's works were that great was at that time when his materials were been widely accessible... in the internet, and with the consequences to be part of one of the "Most Pirated artists" in the entire world, by years like 2001 and 2002. But like every creative people with years of longevity in this field, Frank's work is been in Auto-Pilot for a while, even if its been a little questionnable.
From the time he was the one alien guy only me and some selves individuals were the ones we enjoyed for to be widely known by medias today, this is where it's valuable to never took his work for granted. Like when I were seen by others like an idiot for enjoying his work at teenager, when he were really at the very top of his craft.
