Had to be done GAD vs TREOS

[tigerandtheduke]

Had to be done! Tell me why you chose and give me a rating 1-10 for each...

I chose TREOS

GAD- 8.0
TREOS- 9.7

[Blueskyburning]

gad.

treos, i dont get the hype around them. i got the album and it's just boring

[CourtesyRock]

gatsby's without a doubt... im from boston and the TREOS cd is decent but every song has the same meter pattern in the chorus

[infamous_alias]

Whew lord that's a tough decision.....I think I'm going to have to give it to TREOS simply because they put out a record more than twice as long as GAD. I absolutely love both of them though, and I'd give both records a 9.

There should be a neither choice.

[infamous_alias]

There should be a neither choice.

I just didn't vote.

[Signals Corrupted]

my favorite record of the year is kevin devine.. i am yet to hear the treos album, cause im waiting for it's release this tuesday.. only a few more days :animateds !!
second favorite album of the year might be emanuel, then gatsby.

[Scott Weber]

TREOS is awesome, but its really nothing earth shattering. It's still a 8 or 9 in my book, i love it, but its not going to have the same lasting value as GAD, I know it.

[poppa Q]

i love both albums, i'm not quite sure which i like better yet. right now gatsby's, just because i've listened to it so many more times, but i've listened to treos three times today..

[Signals Corrupted]

i purchased gatsby last night. i freakin love the album work and the booklet n stuff. it looks awesome

I agree, I managed to find a copy of it today at Best Buy (The only store i've found in Cincinnati that actually fuckin' carries it.) and the first thing that struck me in the car was how cool the artwork was. Love the direction they went with it.

[Scott Weber]

yeah the artwork is seriously amazing, it's like reading a fairy tale or something.

[VeloriumCamper]

GAD...its still growing on me

[dretti]

both are just ok

[exthuse]

gad

[Frank Giaramita]

It's honestly sooo hard to compare. I mean, you're comparing a debut record from a band that's been fully together for less than two years to a more veteran record. Two totally different styles of production and totally different sounds. Although I am a much much bigger TREOS fan, I honestly don't think I can bring myself to vote on one or the other in a direct comparison like this.

[thearmada]

I got the TREOS album last night and I was pretty let down. Every song sounds exactly the same. It reminds me of Thrice with some MIDI files thrown in.

Gatsby on the other hand is the most innovative band that has come around in a long time. There's no comparison between GAD and TREOS. This vote should've been Gatsby vs. Crap.

[trustmeimokay]

I don't find anything too special about either. But I voted TREOS.

TREOS didn't write "songs"... the whole album is intended to be one continuous wave of sound, without any breaks. They wrote the album as a whole, not as 13 seperate wholes thrown together... which I feel, is how an album should be written. So when you say "all of the songs sound the same", to me, it comes off as "the band did an awesome job of keeping this 70-minute track consistent". That's why some of the same melodies and lyrics were used and mashed up in more than one track, bc they didnt say "well, we used this melody in the last song we cant use it again".. they said "we're going to use this melody on this album and we won't use it on another one." I mean, the album is EXTREMELY effect/instrumental oriented, and if you're not focused or okay with hearing 5 minutes of straight instrumental beauty and no vocals... this album isn't for you. It's not a fucking MTV/Fuse/Mainstream typical sounding album at all and it's a breath of fresh air.

wow... did you just use "thrice with some midi files thrown in" as an insult... what an idiot :headshake

and yes, as frank so eloquently put it, the album is designed to be listened to as a whole... i know all you people who listen to Fall Out Boy and the Starting Line don't have the patience for that, but dont blast an album because of your own ADD.

[MrChainsaw389]

God I must have totally missed the boat, I can't honestly see what people see in either of these albums. Not trying to be mean...I just don't get it.

[Drew Beringer]

I know that I enjoy TREOS more than the new GAD, but they are both very good and it's too hard to say which is better.

[aminorthreat55]

TREOS, far and away.


Gatsby on the other hand is the most innovative band that has come around in a long time.
You're an idiot. Enough said.

[Scott Weber]

TREOS, far and away.


You're an idiot. Enough said.
since insults have now been declared subjective in this thread, you're an idiot if you believe Gatsby's isn't innovative. They certainly are a fuckload more than TREOS. But like Frank said, apples and oranges.

[Signals Corrupted]

definitely apples.

oranges are good too, but you have to peel them and the stuff gets under your nails.. its annoying

[Louise Heng]

i dislike the white stuff on oranges. i have to peel the excess off as well. orange juice, however, is far better than apple.

as for TREOS vs GAD, I haven't heard TREOS yet so I couldn't say.

[infamous_alias]

definitely apples.

oranges are good too, but you have to peel them and the stuff gets under your nails.. its annoying

Hahaha...I think we can all agree apples > oranges .....can't we?

[Signals Corrupted]

orange juice, however, is far better than apple

i agree.. and if i could just get someone to peel my oranges for me all the time, i would like them better than apples. gala apples, specifically, are the ones i <3 most

[Skatetopunk]

Hahaha...I think we can all agree apples > oranges .....can't we?

yes we can

[Louise Heng]

i like really really crunchy apples. any apples that are even the slightest bit soft i won't eat.

around christmas time, with the mandarin oranges... i can eat an entire box of them to myself. I love mandarins.

[aminorthreat55]

It has nothing to do with TREOS vs. GAD. It's the "the most innovative band that has come around in a long time" label.

I never said a single thing about GAD, its just that label.

[Fullcollapse3k]

I voted earlier but forgot to comment. I prefer TREOS, far and away. I think they've fully realized and perfected this sound they have in their opening shot out the gate. However, they aren't more innovative than the Gatsby's. Volcano's one of the more innovative pieces of work i've heard in a very, very long while. That's not to say TREOS aren't because i'm fuckin' in love with their use of digital effects, but when it comes to innovation I can't not give the nod to GAD.

I still vote TREOS though, and if i'm rating both.

Gatsby's - 9.1/10, I wrote a review on this for another site. The numerical rating was hard to come up with, but I felt it was a bit better than a 9. I wasn't into a couple tracks, and I also think it was far too short. I found myself left wanting more because it was as amazing as it was for the 33 or so minutes that they gave us. Still a fantastic album with such a technically achieved sound that it gets a 9 just on the strength of how complex it is.

TREOS - 10/10, and I rarely hand out tens. I think this album is literally without any sort of a flaw or shortcoming.

tell me if TREOS's album lasts as long as Volcano...if it does I'll be shocked. That's the thing. I love TREOS's new album, but I've only had it for 2 days and my interest in it is already declining.

I'm not as into Volcano as you are though, so it'll be a bit of a different result.

I find myself going back to Volcano again and again just because it seems like each time I listen there's something that I missed, because there's so much detail and complexity to every track on it. I don't think it's gonna have amazing staying power with me though.

Production's one of my favorite aspects on this TREOS album.

This poll really was too lopsided in the early going. I really love TREOS but GAD were getting hammered.

[shane hennessey]

you are comparing a band that has been togeteher for 3 albums and a band that completely changed their sound maybe a little over a year ago. TREOS had the balls to put together an album that was in the same key, was basically an hour and 10 minute song and they pulled it off quite well. the only downfalls to that album is the ending to flee the factory with the piano and the extended version to the war of all against all. besides that every song is something i could listen to over and over. i am not impressed with gatsby's new album.

[saosinteam]

I think I'm going to have to give it to TREOS simply because they put out a record more than twice as long as GAD..

that's a really stupid reason.

[infamous_alias]

that's a really stupid reason.

Is it? Both of these cds are so good, but their lengths are both somewhat unique. GAD is far under the average CD length, and TREOS is far above. It basically came down to, I had to judge something, and the lengths really stood out in my mind. TREOS wrote twice the material as far as I'm concerned.

[shane hennessey]

and every GAD song is under 4 minutes

[westsidas2000]

does treos stand for something?

nvm

[Frank Giaramita]

What I personally feel would be a more fair comparison... would be comparing TREOS 3rd record, to Gatsby's Volcano. This is their DEBUT and they've been together for a little over a year... the fact that they can even be in the running with Gatsby's is almost insulting to them and it says A LOT. As for as innovation goes, I think TREOS wrote twice as much material, I personally feel more complete after hearing the record, and I feel like I actually heard a whole album. The lyrics, the wacky digital effects, the length of the songs and the elaborate outros to every song all put this way on top for me. I also think the 3-vocalists set them far apart, as well as the very instrumental oriented breakdowns and transitions. To me, Gatsby's has weird song structure... and that's about it (unless you consider the short songs innovative, which i think is absurd). No weird instruments or unique parts in the songs, just straight forward rock without structure, which isn't a bad thing at all, just saying though.

I think people are shortchanging Gatsby's for writing a short album, which is ridiculous. They chose to absolutely perfect 33 minutes instead of banging out 50 minutes of material that wasn't as good or unified. GAD spent over 3 months recording Volcano, and they did so much subtle stuff with the production...Length is just not something you can weigh albums with.

and frank, you really really really need to listen to Volcano again, because they used tons of weird instruments....like claves, bongos, etc...especially in percussion, it's ridiculous. Casey Bates got a hold of a latin percussion set with like 15 different things in it or something and used all of them. See "A Mind of Metal and Wheels" and "Badlands"

[SC0926]

im not gonna lie, im not nuts over either. But I think GAD is more original, something different. TREOS is good in the sense of its a safe album. Its nothing different. Ive decided they sound like the bastard sons of Story of the Year and This Providence. Both bands whoms I love, just TREOS is nothing new.

Ohh yeah, I know from a percussion sense, they have some wakcy shit, but to be honest, I just didn't even think to touch upon that because percussion is something that doesn't stand out as much as an oboe or a french horn or some shit. hahaha.

[SC0926]

my thoughts exactly although, i don't see this providence in TREOS at all.
the only times i heard This Providence in them is like towards the end of songs...when its a little more chill. To me they are a mix of SOTY, TP, and someone else whom I just cant put my finger on.

[irthesteve]

ive only heard the gad cd, but it seems from this thread that i should listen to the treos album

[timothy]

don't compare treos to story of the year. ew.

I've listend to G.A.D. and the only song I liked from them was "The Author." And I have heard the new stuff by them. TREOS' album isnt out yet so I can only base my opinion on what I've heard from their demo and pv, which is nothing short of stellar in my eyes.

Scott, you and I both know he means The Rundown. Why are we such gatsby nerds?

[saosinteam]

HAHAH oh man. billy darling is such a character. god i miss those douches.

seriously though, gatsbys american dream is hands down one of the most innovative bands around. who the fuck cares if their songs are short. they've always been short. they always play short sets live too. no need to complain.

i'm definitely a treos fan- i went to college with 3 of them-- but their album is something i can picture myself enjoying... when i remember to listen to it. volcano on the other hand... i can't stop listening to. i've barely listened to the circa survive album because of it.

[Carrot]

I chose Gatsby's, even though I haven't heard TREOS yet. It is possible I will like TREOS more but I am waiting until the release date to hear that, so I guess my vote doesn't really count, but oh well.

Oh, I'm sorry dude, I honestly didn't mean to come across as like...demeaning or anything. I totally respect your opinion, I'm just curious as to why you find them boring when some of those other bands are far more structured and basic. I just think Gatsby's changes tempo and styles so much that it can't be boring, but I know that a lot of people don't like that, they find it confusing and disconnected. Just wondering what your take on it was.

I know you don't want to come off like that, you love the band, you want everyone to experience that as well, I understand that. Same way I feel about Northstar. It's not that I would call it confusing or disconnected, there is something that just doesn't click for me to make me want to listen over and over again. I'm listening to Badlands right now, and it sounds pretty basic. He switches up singing styles a lot, but other then that there isn't anything that really sticks for me. I know I'm in the minority on not really being a fan, but i'm not going to like it because everyone does. I just can't get into it.

GAD without a doubt. Definitely my favorite CD so far this year.

treos.

[Tony Pascarella]

I love the person who gave me unsigned negative scene points because I picked TREOS by a small margin (9.1-8.5 I believe).

Any time I rate an album over 8, it's definitely one of the better albums of the year, so that says something if I gave both of these above that grade.

I do like TREOS a little more though. It's less eclectic for me, I guess.
