Well 'Better The Devil' was stuck in my head from this one today.

 

Deceivingly good hook in that song.

 

Which hook you mean?

Just talking about the chorus...i like it.

 

Yes, chorus and the solo make the song for me!

Yeah, this is probably a notch below CDG. But still an excellent listen!

Would have to listen to them back to back but not got time for that at mo.

 

This sounds more like classic Treat to me.

Played the album once so far. Really enjoying it and these tracks are first spin stand outs. House on Fire is an interesting one, not sure how to describe it but fresh sounding and a really cool vibe. Plenty of other great tracks beside these 3 though.

 

Too Late to Die Young

House on Fire

Do Your Own Stunts

And the bass riff, simple but effective and distinctive, so at least 2 hooks. Nonstop Madness!

Not as good as Coup the grace, anyway good enough to be in the top 3 album of the year. My favs are Inferno and alien earthlings, I've listened on you tube, I'm gonna buy it at Frontiers fest.

I thought that on first spin but theres depth here. Takes 3 or 4 spins to really hit home imo.

5 spins now, and as good as it is( really good) still not on par with CDG for me.

The new Treat album is fantastic and a natural follow-up to CDG.

 

If the year was 1987 and not 2016 I'm guessing I would enjoy The Defiants CD more than Graceland... but it's not. Easy choice for me... but thankfully it's not a "One or the other" mandate as those Defiants tracks do take me back in time.

Some patchy verses but great melodic choruses, definitely pale compared to CDG but I agree it's a natural follow-up, somehow I can sense a darker vibe, quite enjoy it but sadly I expect more from them. Nevertheless, a very solid release and kudos for continuing the Treat saga

I'm not completely blown away with the first couple of tracks, but i'm especially liking 'Do Your Own Stunts, 'Alien Earthlings', 'Nonstop Madness' and the excellent ballad 'Together Alone'. Undecided if it's better than CDG at the moment, but both great albums

So the Japanese bonus track is just an acoustic version of "Together Alone"? Is that correct? If so, I'll just forget about it, and grab the normal edition.

Heard it today and it seemed very nice. Solid as hell. There were a couple of small times I picked up strong 'Organized Crime' vibes... but yeah, another I need to listen to again. It's good stuff.

Had a couple of spins and it's just a pleasure to listen to. As with most Scandi bands, the production is awesome. Probably been favoring "The Defiants" play wise at the moment, but it's hard to pick which one i prefer.

Is this an overall observation 'bout the quality of the track, buddy? I love it. Chilling keyish atmosphere.

Is it good enough to warrant the difference in price?

Buddy, there's no dilemma for me. Actually I find both pressings expensive :tumbsup: . And thus I prefer to get the Japo press, if it's the case I'm going to purchase the album. Unfortunately Treat isn't the case of a band to play the waiting game in ebay.

It's an excellent release but CDG is still better. I'm sure this will make my top 10 of 2016.

 

CDG is probably in my top 10 for the past 20 years...it would have been hard to beat.

"This Japanese Edition features as bonus track a different version of 'Together Alone', with the synth orchestration re-arranged, mixed with a Spanish guitar arrangement and where the lead vocals are upfront, resulting in a more intimate ballad."

That sounds interesting enough. I was just hoping for a new track, not just an alternative version of a song.

Seems that's the new thing to do. I don't see many bonus tracks that are studio extra tracks. They all seem to be alternate versions or live songs.

 

I kind of miss the extra tunes on those Jap and Euro versions.

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
