ONLY PASSING THROUGH

The music of Pattern-Seeking Animals is an example of what we could call 'a modern progressive rock band', that is, a proposal that, making use of the elements that characterize classic progressive rock, explores with modern instruments - both musical and production - new facets of Rock (Hard rock in most cases), thus differentiating themselves from 'retro' bands, more obstinate in using vintage instruments and more direct influences from classic bands.

Focusing more on the album, I would only say that there are two types of musical pieces on this one. On the one hand the shorter songs (1,4,5,6) that are quite accessible and that I would call - deliberately - 'rock songs with beautiful arrangements'. And on the other are the remaining pieces (2,3,7,8) which is where the band shows its creativity the most.

I would not say that this is an excellent addition to the music, but it is an interesting proposal that will surely give us better albums in the future. For now, just to listen to "Time Has a Way" I think this album is worth listening to.
