Musical Style
The second album from Les Trois Accords was released September 5, 2006. This album did not break with the rock-pop style of Gros Mammouth and was more outrageous in its lyrics. The music video for Grand Champion can be viewed at Bande à part. The second music video is "Tout nu sur la plage". The album rose to the top of the charts after its first week.
Many of their newer songs can be classified as surrealist because of the frequent presence of puns, word play, and unusual images.
They also like to embellish their concerts with little pieces of humour. The sense of humour is also evident in their music videos where the images being shown have nothing do to with the song. We see, for example, in the music video for "Saskatchewan", the band members practising ninjutsu moves for the whole video. The same goes for the music video for "Turbo sympathique" where the group becomes firemen and puts out a barn fire.

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or style:
“Hell is full of musical amateurs: music is the brandy of the damned.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“To write well, to have style ... is to paint. The master faculty of style is therefore the visual memory. If a writer does not see what he describes—countrysides and figures, movements and gestures—how could he have a style, that is originality?”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
