    I interviewed Busdriver for another site about a year and a half ago when this album was still basically in the fetal stage of development, which means i've been waiting at least that long to hear Beaus $ Eros.

    An oddball experimental pop record... Cheers for sticking with a concept, just a bummer it didn't add up to its aspirations. [Mar 2012, p.88]
