Album Reviews:
"Buta proves that he can pull off styles ranging from the driving, industrial opener “Caloris Basin” to the dark, intense “Black Ring,” all with an expert sense for composing his intense album with flow and grace." - Independent Clauses
"An artist to the core, Brian Buta makes it clear with False Colors that he is an incredibly creative soul. Listen to 'Open' for the ascendancy and 'Motion Action' which closes out a one-man show with fuzzy guitars and a vocal hook that will stay with you for hours." - Any Given Tuesday
"While he's sometimes mopey, sometimes angry, he's always emotive. You just have to pay more attention to gather it from under the effects. Brian Buta seems to be an artist with a good bit to offer." - Rock and Roll and Meandering Nonsense
"Electronically-assembled pop-rock excursions. Buta doesn't really stick to any particular sound....but he shows some fine chops here." - Aiding and Abetting
