​

Open Question to the Sky is "a masterpiece, loaded with searing metaphors on par with the brilliance of the early Bob Dylan recordings.” – Wayne Riker, San Diego Troubadour​

                   

”Every once in a while an album comes along with lyrics so wondrous, so vital, that they should be scripted on parchment, bound in fine leather and handed out . . . Darius -- songwriter or poet?” -- Robert J. Hawkins, San Diego Union Tribune 

                   

”Darius was a postmodern eclectic long before it was cool.” -- Jay Allen Sanford, San Diego Reader”
