20th ANNIVERSARY YEAR
Welcome to the home of the American (NJ) Progressive Rock Band
“If you are looking for music that successfully combines accessibility, great musicianship and stunning vocals, look no further than Narrow-Caster, definitely one of the best releases of the first decade of the 21st century”
— Rafaella Berry, Fire Of Unknown Origin by ProgMistress
“It’s not often an album as refreshing as this comes along, and we should treasure it when it does...an album that demands repeated spins, and rewards every listen with some new revelation...Highly and unreservedly recommended! Conclusion: 9 out of 10 ”
— Ron Faulkner, The Dutch Progressive Rock Page (DPRP)
“I'll admit, I actually got chills when reading along and listening to "Cautionary Tale"...I'm glad that I discovered the gem that this album is. Worthy of five resilient stars. (out of 5)”
— Dale Juday, The Prog Files.com
“...more than good enough to hit my top 10 list of 2008... Closer listening to the compositions reveals a minor plethora of subtle, complex, nuances...slight changes in sound, style & pace very much present throughout but barely audible on superficial inspection. 88/100”
— Olav M Bjornsen (in Norway), Progressor (UZBEKISTAN)
“I am really digging the latest release from the American band 3RDegree...Kudos to the band for making a record so easy on the ears and a joy to listen to. This one gets my full recommendation. 8.5/10 ”
— Jon Neudorf, Progressive Ears.com
“Nearly every song by these guys has a catchy chorus, melody, or riff that immediately infects you on the very first listen, but the diversity of styles also makes it something you can listen to repeatedly without ever getting bored”
— Paul Roy, Concert DVD Reviews.com
"Cautionary Tale" shines like a shop window at Christmas…3RDegree is part of the recent surprises in the most attractive from across the Atlantic
— Alain Succa, Big Bang Magazine (FRANCE)
“3RDegree is able to perform highly sophisticated compositions that keep the listener in (a) constant state of surprise…Recommended for all open-minded music fans”
— Marcelo Trotta, Progressive Rock Br.com (Brazil)
“I sincerely recommend this production...My journey with the team 3rdegree was very pleasant…I still hear in my head "Live With This Forever, Live With This Forever"”
“...Don't be fooled, this is a progressive rockband in more ways than one. And don't you just love it when your newly acquired proggy record is just that little bit unpredictable? That special harmonic chord sequence that comes around the corner when you least expect it...I love it! 5 stars of 6 ”
— Kris Vandekerckhove, Rock Report.be (Belgium)
“3RDegree has captured me with this release...Well done guys! This is one of the best releases that I've reviewed this year. Without any doubt, I highly recommend this..."”
"Don't be surprised if by the end of "The Last Gasp" you just want to start the whole thing over again. This disc does not have a single weak point, although it does have many standouts throughout the album...4 stars out of 5"
— Mike Sharkey, ProgArchives.com
“There is a kind of sophistication & accomplishment present here which makes you wonder why these guys aren’t more famous? Well let’s hope that as the prog community get’s a chance to hear the music of 3RDegree that will change. The music on Narrow-Caster is first rate & well worth getting into”
— Jerry Lucky (author of The Progressive Rock Handbook), JERRY LUCKY.com (CANADA)
“Lots of bands write by acting like blenders for their various influences and crossing their fingers for a good result; 3RDegree revel in their mastery of colliding feels and sounds you'd never think to put together and somehow manage to smack it out of the park every time. 9.4 out of 10”
— Greg Jones, USA Progressive Music.com (USA)
“It's timely, progressive, literate, and has a lot of integrity. The more I listen, the more I like it. 4 stars out of 5”
— Steve Fleck, Sea Of Tranquility.org (USA)
“George Dobbs is praiseworthy: he knows how to "release the dogs" in the way of a metal singer...but is equally at ease in times of acoustic delicacy. The diversity of influences makes "Narrow-Caster" unpredictable, even after several listenings...One of the most exciting albums of the year.”
— Phillipe Arnaud, Harmonie Magazine (France)
“they have the knack for finding catchy melodies 3.5/5 stars”
— Jean-Pierre Lhoir, Music In Belgium.net
“Narrow-Caster is an album that breathes spontaneity and freshness. 8 of 10”
— Dan Tordjman, Progressia.net
“The strength and fascination of “Narrow Caster” is under the surface like a treasure chest hidden and breaks only after several hearings, then its clicks.”
— Ingolf Schmock, Rock Times (Germany)
“Their sound is fresh and new and has a whole lot of vague back-references to classical prog times. For whom IZZ became too retro, 3RDegree could become new fodder for their passions. 11 points out of 15”
— Thomas Kohlruss, Baby Blue Prog Reviews (Germany)
“Great prog-rock songs with originality and enthusiasm. Odd time signatures and driving rhythms are the foundation of their music. Vocal harmonies & insightful lyrics give their CDs something for the singer-songwriter fan, too.”
— Steve Roberts, ZNR Cds (USA)
"...the group wants to surprise us by imposing a music which does not have stylistic borders...one continues in this musical voyage where no taboo is disallowed and on the contrary one is in love with the beautiful melodies."
