noise-rock from the Outback. You're listening to a world falling apart." Braindrops, writes The Line of Best Fit, "is as cerebral and gut-level as its name implies, high-minded and high volume, a grand mess that isn't really a mess at all." Despite their tepid review of the LP as a whole, which objects at length to the consistency of Liddiard's lyrical style and of the singer's conviction about psychic and cultural issues relating to the epistemological mass-extinction event of Fake News characteristic of media in the (at the time, still current) Trump regime, Pitchfork praises the outro track: "Maria 63"...tells a fabricated story of Maria Orsic, a mysterious and, in Liddiard’s estimation, entirely fake Nazi witch exalted by online conspiracists.
