    An enticing record emerges, boasting intricate instrumental latticework with the smoldering focus of slow jams. [No. 108, p.57]

    The fact that Pattern Is Movement defies genres is both its strength and its downfall.

    Pattern Is Movement exhibits interesting concepts, but some repetition that becomes monotonous (also a poor choice of autotune). StrongPattern Is Movement exhibits interesting concepts, but some repetition that becomes monotonous (also a poor choice of autotune). Strong points involve crooner vocals and odd instrumentation. At times it sounds like a barbershop quartet took acid, and I like that.

    However, the autotune was a bold misstep, and some songs are literally a phrase and a string swell over and over.

    "Light of the World" is both appealing in concept, and dynamic enough.
