Critics' praise for View "Just when you thought Beller couldn't possibly be good at another thing, he releases a solo album so good it makes you wonder why he bothered doing anything else…View shows how terrific Beller is as a bassist, but it also establishes his real musical talent as a writer. It's a thrill to witness an artist like Beller find his voice with such a self-assured debut." - Bill Leigh, Bass Player Magazine
"Seven Percent Grade shows that charging fingerstyle fusion is as comfortable for [Beller] as a fine rock riff...and both "Bite" and "See You Next Tuesday" show he can rock with the best....Inventive solo pieces such as "Elate" & "No" show that Beller isn't going to fall into any clichés either. Inventive and creative, View end(s) up as a complete and compelling album, which I'm still enjoying right now." - Adrian Ashton, Bass Guitar Magazine(U.K.) "Bryan is one of those bass players who just knows how to put the right note in the right place at the right time…monster playing and good vibes."– Michael Manring (solo artist, Attention Deficit) "A unique blend of solid old school playing with modern sensibility and lots of edge." – Andy West (Dixie Dregs, FWAP) "Every expectation you may have about this album is going to be blown clear out of the water when you hear it. It's really, really good, unique and intricate and ballsy and beautifully performed." – Mike Keneally
