    There's a constant sense of forward motion to Menos El Oso that suits the whole metaphor of growing up and growing out. [Oct 2005, p.156]

    What's really preventing Minus the Bear from making a breakthrough with El Oso is the band's unwillingness to head in new directions.

    Menos el Oso takes the act of melodizing the banal to dizzyingly silly new heights.

    Breath taking... Saw them play this album live and it was remarkable. The guitarist really knows what hes doing as he creates these beats.
