If you're having a bad noirish day, don't get near one of these creepy, ominous concrete asylums. Right now, I think I'll watch some videos about puppies.

Agreed. Without getting too political, I think there's a reason 20th century fascist governments gravitated to this style. Its oppressive just to look at, and tends to suck the human element out of a building. Plus, unfinished concrete does not do well in any climate, and the stains and discoloration just add the overall depressing appearance. Brutalism is the perfect description for a lot of reasons.
