"There must be a lot of monkey bars and turbo-tube slides in DeGeorge's playground. It's fun to zoom through all the melodies, wah stabs, keyboard flurries, shred bits and harmony solos, and then collapse with giddy exhaustion."

"If there's justice in the world, Rod DeGeorge will be one of the brightest stars amongst 21st century new guitar heroes...this is one of the hottest guitar instrumental records years.  A must buy, no doubt about it. 

"Check out this adventurous young fella: his playing is very exciting, and his technical proficiency is quite admirable." 

"It almost frightens me about what we may see in the future from this incredibly talented musician. Cosmic Playground is more than a calling card...it's a full-on statement of purpose that he has arrived and demands your attention." 

"I would pity the Devil if he ever made his way from Georgia to Pennsylvania, ëcause as bad of a time as he had with Charlie, he would just be thrashed by Rod!" 

"Rod DeGeorge has the potential to be a big guitar hero like Steve Vai or John Petrucci. Points: 15 out of 10 (no, not 10...15!!!)" 

"Solid, clean, playing and great shredding skills abound, but unlike the modern prog-metal heads who are into shredding without making much of a musical statement, this guitarist speaks volumes in his writing, technique, and phrasing."
