    While not all of the songs on Menos el Oso are winners, the album as a whole holds up much better than any of their previous efforts.

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

    They hit all the right notes and create the right hooks for success, at least in theory, but for all the passion in Jake Snider's voice, he might as well be singing about the ham sandwich he ate for lunch.
