Tell us what you really think!
I probably like well-executed brutalism more than most. I think the issue with this particular tower is that it's just boring. It's 10 stories taller than anything else on the skyline, so it's mediocrity is jarringly in your face. If it had had a few comparably tall neighbours over the past few decades, I doubt anyone would give it a second thought.
My one nit to pick is the huge blank walls on several buildings.
