Sep 11, 2014Perfect Hair contains all the usual reasons Busdriver is wonderful, just with a little more sugar baked in.
-
UncutSep 10, 2014Rapid-fire delivery often make catching his drift difficult, but when spaces allow it, as on the hallucinogenic "Upsweep" or pointed "Retirement Ode," Busdriver's wit and wisdom flash through. [Oct 2014, p.69]
-
Sep 9, 2014He has a release that bifurcates between sparkling, let-it-rip takes, over to a self-antagonistic, ball of constructed chaos.
-
Sep 9, 2014Although this album is at times a difficult listen, you can’t help but admire Busdriver for his innovation and general wackiness.
-
Sep 16, 2014The rollercoaster ride of his delivery makes it an enjoyable experience rather than a textbook headache.
-
Sep 9, 2014A few duds abound, like the wearisome "Eat The Rich," but the album ends strongly with the sci-fi-flavoured "Colonize the Moon."
-
Sep 9, 2014Perfect Hair is no doubt a great album, but its tendency to fidget between ideas leaves it the idea of cohesion in a shallow grave.
-
Sep 12, 2014The album does have its share of absurd, tangled, almost impenetrable lines, nasally sung patches that could definitely be called an acquired taste, and mutated, oddball production that’ll raise more than a few eyebrows.

Oct 6, 2014With Perfect Hair, Busdriver has once again crafted a fantastically immersive listening experience (arguably Busdriver’s finest work yet), only blunted by how profoundly it telegraphs its own ambitions and intentions, more than meeting my expectations as a piece of confrontational sound art, yet leaving its targeted structures a bit too comfortably in tact.

MojoSep 12, 2014For every two triumphs there's a setback like the overwrought glitchy electro Eat Rich, yet it's hard to deny the imagination that fuels these flights of fancy. [Oct 2014, p.90]
