Dubbing themselves a mixture of progressive and classic rock, Paul and the Patients' debut EP To the Lions seems as though it’s going to be yet another failed attempt at classic rock with repetitive lyrics, dark melodies, and what seems to be nothing more than simple background noise. And at first listen it is. But with calmer, less produced - although not less repetitive - tracks like “Blogspot” and “Black Beards,” To the Lions is the kind of album you might want to sit through just to hear the few tracks actually worth listening to. - Alexis Quinn Chamberlain
