What the mother frickin' fruck?! Weren't they officially done and never recording again? Not that I'm complaining at all, but I thought it was all quite final? What amazing news. Just confirming, it is still with Ernlund on vocals?

Finally !

 

Just do a quick count again on this album and I got 90.66% which is slightly better than 'Organized Crime', 'TPP' and 'Dreamhunter' are probably gonna rack up a close score but yeah probably Coup de Grace might be the best they made so far

It had better be Ernlund on vocals. However, if he doesn't want to continue, and they manage to get Mats Leven back, I wouldn't exactly be mad.

Excluding Yngwie (I consider him American), these 2 discs of Treat + Prisoners are my all time favorite Swedish lps (of course I have to finish my ratings + triangulate results to verify it).

Coup De Grace rated 93% for me. A very very good disc.

Yes!

Mid 80s is about right i reckon. On a par with OC.

I think it landed mid 100's for me.

 

 

yeah once again Glen is wrong, but nothing new right ? :D

 

 

Once again Glen is right you mean.

 

No way does this album maintain a 90%+ consistency across all 13 songs.

 

It's too long and has its share of weaker moments.....accented vox don't help either imo (but that is Treat for you)

 

Although there are about 4/5 killer songs on it.

 

Just keeping it real guys.

I'll let you all know the correct answer in a few months time. 'Organized Crime' will easily crack 90%+ and I'm sure 'CDG' will be very close, though I'm not 100% sure it'll quite get there either. But it'll be damn close.

Apologize for digging up an old thread...

 

Never really paid any attention to Treat before as I really didn't start paying closer attention to the Swedish rock scene until a little bit after CDG was released and just never got around to it for whatever reason.

 

Well...after hearing the new song Inferno and quite liking it, I figured I'd go back and investigate Coup De Grace. I've listened to most of the album on You tube heard a handful of songs that sound pretty good so went ahead and ordered it. I'm not sure on my feelings on the album in general yet...Need to give it a few proper listens and see if it sinks in.

 

Just wanted to say Thanks for all the thoughts in the thread and point out how useful these types of threads can be even years after the fact sometimes.
