about

This is absolutely stellar stuff that's making me kick myself for not getting to this disc sooner. You shouldn't hesitate at all - seek this one out. Very, very, very recommended.
– Progressive World

This second Cosmosquad shows the scary, funky chops of these precocious left coasters, the band recording the album without ProTools for a truly fluid vibe that often borders on jazz. The end result is instrumental rock trio tracks that sound like Zappa crossed with Crimson, irony and mischief included.
– Brave Words

With this supremely enjoyable record, Cosmoquad brings a significant contribution to the post-shred instrumental rock genre. If their studio performance is any indication of their live show (which I am inclined to believe is true), a Cosmoquad gig promises to be a thoroughly fun and fulfilling experience, and I can't wait to catch one.
– Satan Stole My Teddybear

The cleverness that begins in the album’s Who-spoof title carries over into almost every track on 'Squadrophenia'. Throughout the course of these 12 songs, no one player seems to dominate - although each takes his turn to shine on individual songs. In short, these guys are out of this world.
– Sea of Tranquility

These guys have put a lot of thought into and thrown a lot advanced musical theory at this album and I think most progressive music fans that can tolerate the onslaught of guitar domination will dig it. Check it out!
– Eclectic Earwig Reviews

Cosmosquad is a trippy prog-adelic trio whose album ‘Squadrophenia’ runs the gamut from funky to freaky, creepy to cocksure. Everyone on the record shows a mastery of their respective instrument and the balls to make a sound just this side of normal.
– Ytsejam

In a nutshell – this is one of the greatest prog metal/fusion discs of all time. Period. Incredible musicianship by all 3 members, awesome, earthy production, and above all – amazing songwriting from start to finish.
– Mega Hits Magazine
