In Third Degree we see a change of direction as Flying Colors return back to the style that made their debut such a wonderful release. However, this time around Morse and Portnoy concentrate more on their instruments and have less involvement in the vocal part, leaving Casey McPherson to have the lead role and demonstrate his vocal abilities. Third Degree is charmingly unpredictable as it contains funkiness ("Geronimo"), grooviness ("Guardian"), innocence ("Love Letter") and emotion ("You Are Not Alone") above all the classic prog ("Last Train Home"). Recommendations: "Cadence", "Geronimo", "The Loss Inside".
