Day 69: The United States of America by The United States of America

I wanted to do a request album today but I don't have the time or Internet connection and for some reason this album has been lying around so I thought why not? This is a 60s psychedelic electronic band, thus I expect something like Silver Apples. Ready let's start.

The first two tracks are effing amazing. In spite of the at-the-time untraditional instrument choices for a rock group (electronics, organ, electric violin) this album is very, very 60s. The vocalist sounds like Grace Slick except less annoying, and that's probably all it takes to sound like a band from 50 years past.

...Aaaand I'm done. I didn't really get to listen to track 10 but who cares? Good album, surprisingly not too dated and many catchy songs, although the airy songs were a tad boring (Cloud Song). Definitely way ahead of its time and to compare to another band, I'd argue this is way better than Silver Apples.

Best Track: The American Metaphysical Circus
Rating: 7.5/10
