}}Beauty Pill Describes Things As They Are is the second full-length CD by the band Beauty Pill. It was the band's first non-Dischord release. It was recorded at Artisphere, a museum in Washington, DC as part of a commissioned art project called Immersive Ideal in which the recording sessions were conducted in view of the public. They completed one song per day, and Chad Clark felt the pressure of the recording process infused the music with an energetic quality. The music is more electronic in nature than the band's previous recordings because Clark's health issues prevented him from lifting a guitar for a time.[1]

Rolling Stone listed it as one of the "15 Best Albums You Didn't Hear in 2015."[5]

Magnet Magazine declared it Album of the year. "Takes a sledgehammer to boundaries and orthodoxies. Recalls both 'Revolver' and 'Stankonia."

Noisey declared it "One of the most unique and engrossing albums of 2015."

Pitchfork characterized it as "a smorgasbord of angles, melodies, loops, pockets, and fractal surfaces that nonetheless refuse to deviate from the mythic power of the pop hook."[6]
