Brutalism

"The songs zip by flashier than before and the diversity of sounds on `Brutalism' is thoroughly enjoyable. A welcome return from a band, and artist, who always had more to give and more ground to cover - and hearing him deliver on it is a joy to behold".

"Even the best Drums albums surround a few highlights with filler, though, and Brutalism falls even harder into this pattern. It's entirely possible that Pierce chose to use this formal LP as his scratch paper for working through frustration, and that Brutalism is simply the type of album made for its own creator above all".

"Brutalism finds Pierce at his most confident, musically, but his most vulnerable, personally. He's able to explore new sounds without worrying about expectations, and open up about emotions that he's never touched on in his music before. Brutalism creates a story of coming to terms with insecurity and taking all of the skeletons out of the closet. The way Pierce speaks about some of his personal experiences almost sounds like he's in the process of convincing himself it will all be alright".
