TREAT: "Coup De Grace" 10
Frontiers 2010
Review by Kimmo Toivonen,
24 February 2010

Note to all bands attempting a "comeback": this is how it's done. Treat have managed to do what many others have failed - to create a comeback album that is as good or even better than the albums of their glory days. All the elements that made the early albums so good are still intact - the massive melodies, riffs, keyboards and Robert Englund's unmistakable vocals - only given a bit of a contemporary production sheen. What's more, the band's lyrics have matured with age, just listen to a song like "Paper Tiger" for instance. They've come a long way from "scratch'n bite, all night" or "too wild, too wild, too wild to tame".

Among the 13 songs (and an intro) you'll find a handful of real AOR gems which will most definitely rank as highlights of 2010. The aforementioned "Paper Tiger" is one, as are the almost symphonic "Skies Of Mongolia" with its' superb hook and great keys, the mid-tempo AOR hit "We Own The Night" and the insanely catchy "I'm Not Runnin'", which oozes commercial potential. The ballad "A Life To Die For" could very well be a hit for the band too with the right exposure. The chosen first single is apparently "Roar", which is an excellent song, but I do wonder whether "I'm Not Runnin'" or "A Life To Die For" would've been more potential radio hits. Especially "I'm Not Runnin'" sounds like songwriter Anders Wikström has crystallized all of his knowledge of writing pop hits into one song, and given it a... TREATment, if you excuse the pun! If everything else fails, he could always sell the song to Bon Jovi, they could surely use a track like this...

Being a "10 out of 10" album, even the (very few) weaker songs of "Coup De Grace" are way above average. "All In" is probably my least favourite track, but it's still a very decent song, one of the more hard rocking or even metallic songs of the album. Yep, there's no skipping required when listening to this one!
