As much as I want to call this album jazz, or progressive jazz-rock, or fusion, it simply defies all of these tags with each passing minute of music. More than anything it gives me the feeling of hearing Frank Zappa's easily virtuostic, yet sarcastic takes on countless genres. It's too hard-hitting to be straight jazz; too spacey and avant-garde to be funk; and too dynamic and complex to wear the rock moniker. Dreadnaught literally creates a singular sound by imbibing decades of improv, jazz, lounge, rock, funk, fusion, classical, and electronic influences.  read full review

Sans any sort of exaggeration or hyperbole, Dreadnaught's fourth studio effort, "Musica En Flagrante," is honestly unlike anything you've ever heard before. Fans of progressive rock, guitar acrobatics, epic compositions and the chaos theory are all committing a crime of musical neglect against themselves if they deny this record a space on their shelf...   read full review

Warning: Dreadnaught is back, doing things their own special way, and this time that adds up to what just might be this year's coolest album, Musica En Flagrante...  read full review

With the wide range of styles, Dreadnaught to me is an experience and they continue their own brand of progressive music on Musica En Flagrante. Its never boring, always fresh with each listen and in the truest sense, a "progressive" band. Dreadnaught is for those listeners that like adventurous music much like a rollercoaster with lots of twists and turns...  read full review

Dreadnaught's brand of instrumental prog is a thankfully modern blend. The screwy time signatures, song suites and ace musicianship are here, but the goblins, misty mountaintops and mystical overtones that characterize so much "classic" prog have been foresworn. This is prog for guys with girlfriends...  read full review

I won’t call this prog rock as some have, and I won’t call it bonzo-jazz as others have, so I guess the best way to describe Dreadnaught is to call it Dreadnaught music. I know it doesn’t help you, the reader, looking for something to hang on to, but there isn’t anything I can easily attach to “Musica En Flagrante” that will clarify what they are…  read full review

It's an eclectic collection of mostly bass-driven tracks, which incorporate some programming, old school progressive ( great analog keys sounds), 60's surf music,and psyche; with moments which could very well be used as scores to epic feature films...  read full review

Dreadnaught has now gone so far out of the normal parameters of a "rock" band that I can’t even come up with a label for them. My thesaurus has windburn, my dictionary threatens a strike, and my stereo balks at playing the demented circus schizophrenia I have recklessly placed upon it. That having been said, I will now say this: With "Musica," Dreadnaught have themselves an avant-garde masterpiece, a musical equivalent of Jackson Pollock...  read full review

I'm taking off my hat to Bob and his colleagues for their ability to avoid stagnation in any of its possible manifestations. Heartily recommended and without any reservations...  read full review

Its one of those albums that never bores, and despite the shifts in style, tempo and mood it somehow manages to feel like a cohesive work, with the band managing to establish their own musical identity...  read full review

Wherever their musical muses take them, Dreadnaught are sure to find blazing glory in their jaunty experi-prog, as Musica En Flagrante is just a rest stop in their journey...  read full review

Quite a few good attempts, indeed, but none of the ideas are brought to the finishing line. When they try a bit more orchestrated stuff, they sound promising...  read full review

Musica en Flagrante is basically a bunch of goofy short vignettes that take their time in worming their way into your brain. It's the product of a band which is brilliantly quirky and undeniably talented, and yet it's just a bit too schizophrenic for its own good...  read full review

The music glides and flows, it jives and it grooves, and it dashes over its 19 songs frantically with some very nice riffs and structures...  read full review

Musica En Flagrante contains elements of jazz, folk, rock, experimental, country, and classical and should please fans of diverse music...  read full review

...Musica, however — this is Art. This is the realization of a dream. This is intention and ambition married to execution and creativity. This can hang out in your CD player for a while. This is Dreadnaught....   read full review

The Music is disjointed, jumps styles faster than last year's runway model, and shifts emotions like a manic depressive off his meds.  It's also bloody brilliant.  read full review
