Details: Amazon.ca In Le Chien, the fifth album by Dan Bigras, the artist makes full use of his favorite tools: excess and emotional explosion. Bigras offers a few unique tracks that are worth the detour on their own: "Maledetto Angelo," which he performs in Italian, "Seules les femmes," written with Thierry Séchan, and "Un homme ça pleure aussi," sung as a duet with the gruff Éric Lapointe. These are all well-crafted pieces whose raw power generates genuine emotion. Bigras never holds back, even if, it must be admitted, it would sometimes be beneficial: the arrangements and other melodramatic elements are double-edged swords. Rushing at full speed through life and its ills, he also does not lack courage, taking on the work of Boris Vian ("Le Déserteur") or Victor Hugo ("Mes Pleurs dans tes yeux") without complexes. Fans who love the excesses of this intense singer will be delighted with the result. -- David Desjardins
