"just damn addictive... psychedelic-based songs, the tracks consistently hook in your head" rcrdlbl.com
"I am exploding with the need to talk about a band I am fucking obsessed with right now: Paul and The Patients" ultragrrrl.blogspot.com
"There was the buzz around TV On The Radio’s 2008 release, Dear Science, which found itself at the top of a number of Album-of-the-Year lists. Then there’s been the increasing leakage of music from Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest (released May 26th on Warp Records) and The Dirty Projectors’ Bitte Orca (set to be released tomorrow on Domino Records). It's quite a list. Paul & the Patients should not get lost in the mix! ... Paul and the Patients recognize the historical moment of which they are a part, but still they find ways to set their music apart from everything else around them." ryanssmashinglife.blogspot.com
'Musically, this is the kind of band that the major labels try their best to create artificially. Catchy hooks abound, comfy atmospheres dominate, intelligent lyrics surprise, and it’s all easily accessible with a capital ‘A’." breakthruradio
"The general impression after listening to the EP a few times through is one of longing; the songs are good and five of them aren’t enough to really satisfy" citizendick.org
"I was hooked and I’m still hooked after the 40th-something listen" awmusic.ca
"Signed by American Myth, the same new Brooklyn label that put out Self-Taught Learner EP the already-hyping Lissy Trullie, one can only hope Paul & The Patients get that kind of attention. BecauseTo The Lions EP deserves it." qromag.com
"The smokey vocals echo over the foot-stomping drum beat and jangly guitars as Paul dishes out a piece of his mind. You tell ‘em, Paul. I hear ya." www.theburningear.com
"So many bands play hard and fast but very few are smart enough to create songs that stay with you after the amps are turned down... It is this dedication to lyrics combined with amazing hooks and bruising garage rock-soul that make this album truly special." knocksfromtheunderground.com
"These simple songs are good, and I think they have mass-appeal potential... they’re worth drawing some extra attention to" New York Rock Market
"Holmes’ knack for writing catchy songs. His vocals loom large over the music on the tracks—it’s mostly smooth, but at points is pushed to a perfect, raspy howl." New York Press
