Cosmosquad's Squadrophenia is an explosive and dynamic album that showcases the band's technical prowess and musical versatility. The album features a range of instrumental compositions that blend elements of jazz, rock, and fusion to create a sound that is both complex and accessible.
The opening track, "The Spy Who Ate Her," sets the tone for the album with its driving rhythm, intricate guitar work, and soaring solos. From there, the album moves through a series of high-energy tracks like "Squadristi," "The Thinking Tree," and "Raga El Toro," each showcasing the band's impressive musicianship and ability to seamlessly blend genres.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "NuMena," a slower, more contemplative piece that allows the band to showcase their emotional range and depth. The track features a beautiful guitar melody and a haunting, atmospheric quality that is both haunting and captivating.
