The reviewers at Dangerdog Music Reviews agree on one thing: Treat’s Coup de Grace is a fantastic AOR/Melodic Rock ‘treat.’ As Miguel said Coup de Grace is ‘proof that AOR doesn’t suck.’ KJ Stel adds: ‘it might well be their best album to date.’ This is an amazing and entertaining platter of melodic rock. Treat’s best since the beginning. Read Craig’s review.
