The Brutalist Bricks sounds nothing like that at all. Ted Leo is still very much in his prime, and Bricks is as relevant (and as great) a record as you'll hear in 2010.
-
The Brutalist Bricks is just as much a stirring, personal response to the times as the early Pharmacists albums. There's a back-to-basics, making-sense-of-the-world vibe about the record, and Leo's blend of the personal and political is often touching.
-
One of these days, they're going to produce a masterpiece, but The Brutalist Bricks has too many soft spots to be it. [Winter 2010, p.64]
