Drugs have been a driving force of so many great albums. This is not one of those albums.
rotten
A little too psychedelic and experimental for me
this is god awful. how the fuck did this make it on the list
now it getting replicate at thiis point im bored and tried of this
This is album #9 for me on the 1001 albums list. And it might be the first one I don’t listen to all the way through. Not in the mood for psychedelic music today and it sounds like a drug-fueled trip with obnoxious self important hippie losers. I can now see why 1960’s parents didn’t trust America’s teenagers. Ouch. 1 star
This may have been trippy and thought provoking at one time but it's so dated and not worth a listen now. It's almost catchy at times and then there's a decision made mid-song that veers right that makes it not a pleasurable listen on every track. Trying too hard.
This is not a good start and also not the band I want to listen to on Canada v. USA day. It's giving American Sargent Peppers. I'm gonna need to DNF this guy.
It felt like I was listening to this for 4 hours and wasted precious music time
I could hardly stand to listen to most of this. Too weird and whispery. Just no.
really was looking forward to this band. I never heard of from an era that I usually like but this was unlistenable and boring.
Is this even music? 1/5
That was the worst trash I ever had to listen to. I already had a very bad presentiment bcoz of name of album and artist but my expectations even fell behind. A sad day for my ears
Genuinely awful. Psychedelic rock, her voice isn’t bad at all but the production is absolutely dog shit
I respect the hell out of this album. I’m glad it exists. It caused me physical pain to listen to it though and I couldn’t recommend it to anyone.
Noisy and distracting. Hard to hear the lyrics. 1 star
Awful album in my opinion.
No thank you The first half of the album especially difficult to get through. It wasn't necessarily grating, just bad. I was feeling slightly more generous about this album and then we got to the alternate american metaphysical circus. HORRID. One star for that alone Songs added to playlist: - I Wouldn't Leave My Wooden Wife For You - Do You Follow Me
Maybe this tracked better in 1968? It didn't age well for me in 2026. They're trying too hard to be cute and avant-garde at the expense of the music. 1.5/5
Absolutely no. this album is also just too fucking awful. just like the orange toddler.
Not really my cup of tea.
Meandering and boring.
If something can be "too creative" this album is that.
One hour of pure psychadelic garbage. 1 star or F-.
???
A brutal listen. Pseudo-intellectual 60s psych nonsense.
What on earth is this weird experimental noise
What on Earth? Couldn't finish. No wonder it was their only album.
It was kind of interesting but not in a good way. It killed my ears, and I felt like there was something or someone coming for me. A bit unsettling. And past this, the music was just bland.
I did not like this. If I could have gave zero stars I would have. 1/5 didn’t finish the album 2/5 didn’t keep the album 3/5 kept it and will listen when songs randomly show up on shuffle 4/5 kept it and will listen to it again front to back on my phone 5/5 buying the vinyl
This sounds like someone's attempt to make awful music in as many different styles as possible.
I spent the first couple songs thinking I was listening to the band that delivered us "Peaches" and then realized that 1) the year was 68 2) this is an equally stupidly named band just much earlier. Not sure I need to listen to a full album of either of these patriotic groups. Def don't need this one. I can stretch to see how cool and psychedelic their songs were/are but to my sensitive ears it's just noise. Definitely didn't help me focus at work.
I admire the artistry, especially for the 60s. But damn, I’d rather listen to anything else.
This was experimental in the 60’s. The experiment failed!
Thisbis just not for me. I had never heard of this band before and I can tell itbisbpretty much from the 60s, but this avant garde experimentation is so so bad. It looks like a bunch of union students just playing random notes and writing very shallow lyrics criticising their parents. There was potential, but it was wasted. 1/5 I just can't stand this vibe
If anyone ever needs to torture me for information just make me listen to this album again. I’ll break immediately
This blows
Weird…
< The Beatles No... just... no.
I don’t have room in my life for this. I’m too old to even pretend that I can give it a chance.
Shite enough
Not at all for me.
stupid and an hour too long
A truly psychedelic experimental album that I wanted to enjoy, but ultimately the songs never come together. Dorothy Moskowitz's vocals are dreadful. They never feel expressive of anything. Most bearable: "Where is Yesterday" Increasingly this list feels like a waste of time.
More wacky 60s shit
Not trying to be snide but I have no idea how this album made the list. It was awful from the first cut to the last. Not surprised I never heard of them. Cross this one off the list.
I can't.
A chaotic art-school experiment where every knob is turned and every idea is a bad one. The Garden of Earthly Delights was almost listenable, only because I kept hoping the background lasers would take out the singer.
1 Star (2/15)
Not my music. ★
I don't know how I love Pink Floyd yet found this so bizarre and cacophonous. Stopped listening halfway through. There were not enough drugs to finish the ride.
I don’t know what this is supposed to to be
It had some good moments, but perhaps too experimental for me. I was also trying to finish my assignment and this was blasting loudly in my ear so I got a little overwhelmed by the noise hence also a lower rating (sorry).
Sorry - the magic mushrooms are out of stock at my local dealer ;-)
Possibly an important historical document. Now turn it off.
You remember that guy in college? The one who thought he was a total legend and would come into the student bar with a traffic cone on his head saying “Look at me! I’m crazy!”, then he did too much acid whilst listening to Sgt Peppers and dropped out to go and live on a mushroom farm in Wales. This album is the audio equivalent of that guy. They couldn’t afford $20,000 for Moog synthesisers so they built their own out of cobbled together oscillators and the result sounds like being attacked by a swarm of bees whilst wearing a metal bucket on your head. There are some more traditional psychedelic/prog songs on there with lots of audio tricks that probably sounded clever in 1968 but the result now is just about unlistenable and triggered my tinnitus. The band broke up shortly after releasing their one and only album, and for all anybody knows are still living on a mushroom farm in Wales.
Somehow this falls into a music uncanny valley. It almost sounds like music, but it isn't.
"The United States Of America" might have been released in 1968, but it perfectly represents the current state of the actual United States... trashy and chaotic, just like this terrible album.
abysmal
Unusual and sometimes noisy!
Almost gave it two stars for its experimentation and pioneering use of synths but my God is this awful.
Really just not my type of music
Circus sounds. Very 60s kinda psych rock I think? Enjoyable, but probably won't listen again. 6/10
Really did not enjoy this one. Did not like the vocalist nor the psychadelic sound scapes which really annoyed me. Clearly an important album with how it uses production and eletronic effects all the way back in 1968 but that does not mean I enjoyed it. No stand out tracks.to me.
Not my thing.
Heroin music, but not the good kind.
- ne man, ich kann das nicht. Mag vielleicht revolutionär gewesen sein, aber dieser avantgardistische Bums macht mir einfach bisher absolut keinen Spaß - anstrengend und gerade heute bin ich dafür absolut nicht in Stimmung. Habe mir die meistgehörten Tracks angehört. Einer davon war okay-ish, aber ansonsten einfach nur eine Qual 1 – Konnte ich gar nichts mit anfangen 😬 Hat mich nicht angesprochen, kein Zugang gefunden – weder musikalisch noch emotional. Eher Qual als Genuss.
18k monthly listeners on Spotify for a reason. This is terrible.
Bad acid trip involving killer clowns and homicidal acrobatic weirdos.
Really annoying music. Sounds like some college students got their hands on their parents equipment and pressed "record" without any practice.
I do not like prog. I also don't like the American version of prog (no idea why these are separate categories) - avant-garde.
Not my style
Disclaimer: Clowns were hurt in the making of this album Positives: I understand what the band were trying to do with this album. It's definitely out of the box and very creative. Negatives: The first song is very creepy. I get the feeling of impending doom from the rest of the album. It tries very hard to be creative but misses the mark. Just when you think it's getting good it beers wildly off course. Also why are there so many clown horns?
Could we please have all the members of the band play the same song at the same time?!?
every song is either moderately terrifying or i forgot about it as soon as it ended. not a 1/10 because it isnt really boring, but i would never listen again. 2/10
Imagine the music that would be played while a clown hacks you to death with a candy cane shaped into a axe and that's what it sounds like Update: This album caused a migraine
The Poo-nited States Of Poo-merica. There must be 15 other Beach Boy albums, a few other Lovin’ Spoonful and at least 1 more Jefferson Airplane album from the 60s that are worthier for inclusion than this bleh, inessential hipsy dipsy craptrap.
I couldn't even make it through this album - I don't think I took enough LSD this morning to appreciate this one.
No thanks
If watery diarrhea was music, it would be this shit. It’s experimental yet somehow derivative at the same time. I’d much rather stub my toe than listen to this again.
Awful
Not for me at all. Too out there. sounded like music from a scary circus
Absolute garbage. As someone in the comments said: "this is the music that is playing when a clown comes to murder you". Truly painful to listen to. These pricks couldn't make music to save their life ... Favorite songs: Stranded in Time Least favorite songs: The American Metaphysical Circus, Hard Coming Love, Cloud Song, The Garden of Earthly Delights, The American Way of Love, Osamu's Birthday, No Love to Give, Tailor Man, Coming Down...and others.....I lost interest. It's all garbage... 1/5
This is a joke. Right?
Never heard of them. Then I realized perhaps I have but immediately turned it off. Not good still…
don’t listen to it right after waking up while handling two pots and one pan at once 1/5 🧃
20 tracks of nonsense
Good lord.
What was that
Terrible. I think they named themselves "The United States of America" because then you feel guilty saying you hate "The United States of America". Hated it.
Strange band, strange music.
I really wasn’t into this Sufjan Stevens record.
Literally clown music. It’s truly one of my most hated thus far. Every 60’s psychedelic record this list gives me is worse than the previous.
Fuck this goofy shit
Shit
how dare they call this the United States of America when its so BAD LOL More like united band of people who lost their hearing
I do not like this. It’s giving me a headache.
Did not like this album and couldn’t understand why each song had multiple bad versions.
sort of like if jefferson airplane did more drugs and was worse at making music
It's like they made a full album out of the ending part of A Day in the Life
I didn’t like this
Straight ass, im curious tho how many drugs were done over the course of making this album.
experimental, a bit Jefferson Airplane. Not my bag.
You shouldn’t have to be on acid to listen to an album
Why?
I kept trying to find the good in this, and I kept coming up empty. I guess we can just call it "experimental" rather than explicitly bad, but this was more distracting than interesting to me. The normalish stuff just sounded like mediocre 60's music, and the weird stuff sounded like...fuck, artsy fartsy grad students at the circus or something. I'll give them this: they accomplished what they set out to do. Bully for you if you like this particular brand of weird, but it ain't for me. This is like a Captain Beefheart record. This was painful to get through, so it's gotta get a 1. 1.4
😑🙄😑🙄😑🙄😑🙄😑🙄
Pretty dire.
The first track made me think I had at least three radio stations playing at once. Nightmarish. I suppose it is adventurous. But a really unpleasant listen.
Terrible
No thanks
The population in the USA in 1968 was about 200 million people. Sounds like half of them played an instrument in this band of their own choosing. Thankfully they kept the amount of people singing to a small handful, but on the flipside of that… sounds like the half of the population that didnt play instruments got to decide the lyrics. Just a load of nonsense sounds to me, no cohesion with sound or what the fuck they’re on about.
There's nothing there
Not my kind of thing. Some of it just sounds bad. I get that they're experimenting, but I can't imagine having a good time listening to this. It's just unpleasant.
Having one of the worst work weeks in a long time, I put off putting in reviews last week thinking everything I was hearing was the result of bad vibes. Turns out, my review for this album would not have changed. I guess this reminded me a little bit of Jefferson Airplane, but those guys are shitty too. A way too long album with what sounded like circus music piped in every 3rd song is not my idea of a good time. Shit, they called this psychedelic rock, but I'm guessing that would be one bad acid trip. Especially the circus stuff. There were parts in there that weren't terrible, but this album a big no for me. 1.5
Oh man I thought this was the PRESIDENTS of the United States of America. My disappointment is immeasurable and this album shall suffer my wrath. 1
I'm pretty sure I know why this band only had one album. Experimental music, that failed. Horrible album.
Awful tuneless waste of time
Hated this so much.
For me it was an irritating mush mash of sounds. No my cup of tea. Sorry !
Sonically interesting but li found it to be lacking in connecting that with the lyrics. It could be that the actual meaning of the lyrics were the known to this far after the release but I had hoped that the “…approach reflecting an anti-establishment, leftist political stance” would have been more clear. I can see how it influenced some music down the line but that was not enforced my own subjective enjoyment.
I hated this so much. There was nothing likable about it dawg. Trying to draw while listening to this was a nightmare I could not focus in the slightest. It was just an amalgamation of random fucking shit. Like this is the epitome of experimental, what are you guys DOING.
I thought I liked psychedelic music, and maybe I do, but I couldn't make it through this. I don't know what you have to be on to make this sound good, but being sober wasn't cutting it. A few songs have genuinely enjoyable sections -- sort of a Beatles meets Pink Floyd vibe if I can be overly reductive and basic for a moment -- but most of them are really repetitive with long sections of what sounds like a circus melting and screaming.
Maybe being in LSD would help this album out, but I doubt it.
I have never done acid. The same, surely, cannot be said of the people in this band.
Meh
Track 1: Hit skip halfway through. Track 2: Hit skip within 30 seconds. Track 3 and 4: I was making breakfast. Track 5: Skip. Track 6: That’s enough, hit stop. How in the actual hell is this an album I must hear before I die. There’s a reason this is their own Studio album, and it’s because it SUCKS.
This was weird af and very outdated imo
Strange!!
What? terribly boring and on album 1010 I finally can say, I have no time for this.
Its just too wacky for me
Hippy crap, possibly one of the worst albums on this lost. The 60s were a shrill and pointless decade. Should have sent a lot more of these spoiled boomers off to die in Vietnam.
Possibly one of the worst things I have ever listened to
Trying to hard to be 60s rock. Very screechy. Nothing super compelling or anything I'd listen to again
Mostly falls flat, more noise than music. Feels like they are trying too hard to push a square peg into a round hole
One of the worst things I've ever heard. I couldn't finish even three songs.
This was just.....ugh. Not a pleasure at all.
Tää levy menetti mut jo ekan intron sirkusmusiikilla. Vuoden 68 peruskuraa, ei sentään Intia-hypnoosia vaan keskiaika-/kirkkolauluflirttiä. Mutta se ei oo kiinnostavasti tässä…
Sekoilua. Ja sirkus on vasta alkua.
Another reviewer of this album said this: ------------ My wife while listening to this album: “ This sounds like the music that would play when a clown comes to murder you” ------------ That is quite possibly the most accurate review I've seen so far on this site! The reviewer: https://1001albumsgenerator.com/shares/61c15673ca7fbc6002dd9db0
I didn't find this very interesting at all
Trotos
Too experimental/funky to my ears, like a circus and Sousa concert put together. 1* I wonder if it sold well because of the band's name.
As is often the case, these artsy and avant-garde productions are missing an important point, at least for me: it is simply impossible to listen to that stuff for long. It starts to be annoying after some time.
1/5 Yeah, no.
I get that this was influential for psychadelic rock...but my goodness this was a tough listen. Like a much crappier version of Jefferson Airplane.
Didn’t really get this one. Not approachable for me.
Quite challenging - it veered rapidly between morose and dull and irritating. Big miss for me.
Nope
I'm sure groundbreaking, it's definitely avant garde but it's also not really a selection of songs, it's a selection of sounds. A curiosity so I'll give it an extra star.
I’ve listened to some bad albums on this generator, but this is the absolute pits. A steaming pile of horse poop that stinks worse than a skunk convention on a hot day. Even worse are the clowns telling everyone how great this is. Zero isn’t possible, so a reluctant 1.
1/5. There are so many great prog/experimental rock albums you could have had on this list. This is not one of them.
Makes me want to move to North Korea
This might be the worst thing I've ever heard in my life. This album is clearly a CIA torture device.
Listening to that first song whist trying to concentrate on work is near impossible
'How much fun it's been' he says at the end. The answer is none. None fun.
Didn't grab my attention
Terrible. God I've had a terrible run of albums lately, hope the next one is listenable.
Apparently, this was the only album from this band. It was one album too many. Absolutely dreadful.
sound is all over the place. can't get any traction on this one... pass.
Too psychadelic and weird to get into
Why?
The only good parts where when they weren't over the top trying to be obnoxious
seeehr experimentell
Pretty bad album, essentially just a bunch of random noise. These hippies took too much acid.
Tried to give it an honest listen. This has been a tough one to get through.
hard no. bailed halfway through.
Their music was unavailable on Spotify apart from one track and what I heard from it didn’t interest me to try and time find it elsewhere
Nah
Terrible amateur art school bullshit.
prepsihodelija
Probably needs another listen to appreciate, but it didn't grab me at all on first pass
Nah
Zero starts
Det blir ett ”nej tack” till vad det var jag egentligen lyssnade på! Min favoritlåt från albumet var Hard coming love. Albumet får 1/5 stjärnor
This is what I imagine happens when you take lsd at the circus. Would not recomend
This just made me angry. Some of it was alright but most of it was shit and just weird and yeah I'm not going to think about this album ever again.
The more I listen to psychedelic stuff from the 60s the more I am convinced that the Beatles only made it so enormous is because everyone else is just terrible
You can’t get this time back. It’s everything bad about this era of rock. Kind of like a really bad and boring Jim Morrison dream only with worse musicians and inferior vocals.
Too far out for my taste
This album was basically a test to see if they could get the most obnoxious instruments on an album. Gong? Bang that bad boy. Kazoo? Betch your ass. Car horns? Yeah we can probably make that work (don’t know if they were actually car horns but it sounded like traffic at one point and I almost shut it off at that point)
Ughhhhhh experimental
trainwreck of an album, avant garde or bad lol
This is an experience
Can’t believe I’m giving this a 1, but I straight up just don’t see the merits of this album.
Ended up burning my ears off with a bucket of acid! I'm all for pushing the boundaries, but this is the equivalent of punching the boundaries in the bollocks. I couldn't make it through the whole album.
did not like it, the opposite beat of rhythm never connected and made it just background noise
Mér finnst sækadelikk rokk ekkert skemmtilegt. Ég get ekki sagt mikið meira en það. Bara bjakk.
This is complete drivel. It should be forgotten and ignored as has been decreed by the court of public opinion. They weren’t successful because they suck. And it’s okay for us to say that. We don’t have to assign merit or importance to something just because it’s old and it existed. I had to turn it off, couldn’t get through it. Sonic garbage that hurt my ears.
This is one of the worst albums I’ve heard in a while. I like some psychedelic music, but this is just *too* psychedelic. There were some interesting ideas used here and there, and I kind of liked what they were going for in the closing track “The American Way Of Love”, especially at the end, but man, it’s just not a good song. I get that this was a very influential album for psychedelic music, but it’s really not for me. Aside from a couple songs, I never plan on listening to this again. At least it wasn’t boring, though. 3/10 Top 3: 1. Stranded In Time 2. Where Is Yesterday 3. I Won’t Leave My Wooden Wife For You, Sugar
clown meets hippie, not a fan
Not good with a headache. Probably not good anyway. 1/10
Wtf
Did not like this one bit. Couldn't get through 3 songs. was not for me May be the first 1
Not sure I'll finish this one. It's whacky, slightly interesting, but somehow also just kind of boring.
Dribble. Couldn't finish it.
Would have been a 2 but the Hard Coming Love was actually painful
What is this supposed to be? I have a headache
99% annoying noise, 1% music.
Thos was a horrible, tortuous listening experience that i hope ill be able to soon forget
sucks
crap
Mijn god, niet te doen dit. Vast dat de artiesten hier wel plezier aan hebben beleefd
Lang geprobeerd dit te negeren, maar dat lukt nu echt niet langer; Wat een zaadplaat!
Experimenteren doe je maar lekker in je eigen tijd
Nope. Appreciate the weirdness, but I could barely make it through. 1.5/5
too trippy
my pronouns r usa
It wasn’t for me…
these lyrics sure are something. Overall, it is a lot, and feels a bit "kitchen sink" at times.
Two moments stood out and not in a positive way. The first was the lyric, "Reality is only temporary." And the second was the sampling of carnival music on track 10. Those two things really personify this psychedelic madness, this kind of music that was the worst thing that came out of the 60's protest movement that ultimately discredited the thinking. And it exemplifies the self-indulgent freakout that probably set us back for decades.
The United States of America is a bold attempt at experimentation. It built off some early hits in the genres of democracy and human rights, but initially botched the execution of those styles. Perhaps as a new young group the USA wasn't as adept at "playing it's instruments" as it would be in later years? The deluxe edition of their debut, titled "The Bill of Rights," showed great potential and promise. But it wasn't for everyone. Further attempts to broaden their appeal and reach the masses received mixed reviews, like "The 13th Amendment," "The 19th Amendment," and "The Civil Rights Act." But each critically acclaimed hit came with blowback from those who just loved the originals and review-bombed the new material. Trying to hold on to those early fans led to such missteps as "The Civil War," "Plessy v. Ferguson," "The Tulsa Race Massacre," and "The Assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr." The USA is still going strong today 247 years after its debut, but unfortunately some fans want it to embrace earlier styles and make things great again, which is just code for when its albums were hostile to anyone not like its original fans. "The United States of America" is also a bold attempt at experimentation. It built off a bizarre discordant circus rehearsal on the first track, with layers of styles that were impossible to discern. They showed some potential and promise in the more straightforward psychedelic rock with Dorothy Moscovitz vocals, but mixed in were too many odd or cacophonous experimental tracks. Rather than last 247 years, the band The United States of America disbanded after this single album. And I don't think the country missed them.
Was not feeling it
No lo escuche entero
Droga
Absolute nonsense!
I feel like this is where stereotypes of 60’s music comes from. I’m sure it was wild and innovative at the time but hearing it over 50 years later it sounds like hackneyed crap.
Never heard of this band and I can see why. Continues to receive critical acclaim - from who? Based on the number of plays on Spotify, the only people that listen to this album are redirected from here. Hippy experimental music music reminiscent of early Pink Floyd, but not as good.
Famous chef Gordon Ramsey mentions if a menu has too many options, it's a good sign the restaurant will do none of them excellently. This album embodies that concept. It's as if the album combines Dream Theater, Indigo Girls, and a dash of psychedelica. This album suffers because it can't commit.
this album was plain weird, and this is coming from someone who enjoys weird tom waits music. i'm not entirely sure this band is normal after "i won't leave my wooden wife for you, sugar." a lot of this was out of tune or instruments were smashed together in the hope of creating music. i get that in 1968, lots of musicians were experimenting with psychedelic music, but oh my good lord, this was not music. and then this band even used old time-y music! i don't understand. as for something positive, i liked the different vocals. i'm out tho
Very experimental, even in the psychedelic space. It's clear that this band was enjoying some acid throughout this process. That said, more experimentation in an already experimental space just doesn't seem to be for me. This was a mess.
Too many noises on this one for me.
psychedelic rock is not the genre for me. i won't remember anything form this album, luckily.
Not sure I got the artistic direction of this. Was it music?
Some psychedelic rock albums should pull the reins a little harder. This is one of those albums. Kinda off the rails and it just makes for a little too awkward of a listening experience.
Sometimes experiments don’t work out and that’s also a contribution to science.
Hard Coming Love is really grating on me this morning. this album is a visionary pioneer of 60's noodling, noise, and bullshit. Love Song For The Dead Che is fine.
I skipped most tracks I found 1 track that I could listen to all the way through. It was the only track that sounded like a song to me. Most of the tracks each member of the band was playing a different tune to the other band members. This discordant approach to music offends my ears hence why I skipped most tracks.
This sounds like it was recorded specifically to be used as an MK Ultra acid stress test.
1.25
This is what happens when try to sound like Strawberry Alarm Clock and Jefferson Airplane, but don't have the chops to pull it off. When you see people on the news chanting "Death to America": this album is part of the reason why.
Just couldn’t do this one, not great. Could see it being good for the times when it came out. Coolest thing about it was I recognized this is where a Mac Miller sample came from
Weird trippy stuff.
Oh, that's just random hippy gibberish. Just rubbish. I was hoping for the Presidents of the United States of America. This one wasted my time, and I had to hit YouTube to even find it.
Extremely dated couldn’t finish the whole thing
Gar nicht meins. Nervig.
Hippy dippy bullcrud
As old JL once pithily put it, avant-garde is French for bullshit. Having listened to this I refuse to engage with it.
Mediocre the whole way
tedious
just the most nothing album but coming down has the beat used for Mac Miller's "smile back" which is cool 1.5
What is this
Dafuq did I just Listen to. I Wonder how this is „loved by critics“ and a „Masterpiece“ (according to Wikipedia)… It’s just bad
This album is a cut rate version of every band they try to emulate. I got to song 8, checked the track list, saw there were 12 more songs and bailed because omg no thank you.
Headache inducing. The Apple Music bio is freakishly long for a group that released a single, unlistenable LP.
It might be seminal, but the whole psychedelic rock vibe isn’t doing it for me.
I feel like I took bad drugs...
Sounds -- and looks -- like something from the cutout or bargain bin. That band name isn't doing them any favors. Neither is the music.
Leave the psychedelic rock to the archives
Too many drugs were consumed in the making of this record.
I do not need to listen to this. I heard Mike playing it and it did not sound good. Not my thing.
listened to the one song available on spotify and it was shit.
Kind of just noise, may have had cultural relevance at the time but not for me.
03/01/2022 No. Not at all. Absolutely not.
Look, I love experimental music usually. But this was like Sgt. Pepper's listening to itself on a bad acid trip, the kind that takes you on a tour of hell. I welcome music that makes me uncomfortable; I often take away something valuable when that happens. But in this case, I did not.
Sirkusspiladósir, hippahigh fílingur, köntrí, gregorian chants, folk, sítar, kaos. Veit ekki alveg hvernig mér líður með þetta.
couldn't finish
Not good.
Wat kakofonisch album, waarbij ik effectief een paar keer grimassen heb getrokken, omdat het echt wat raar klinkt met momenten. Heb er mij echt moeten door worstelen
Das hab ich gestern gar nicht derpackt...nix zum Autofahren
Possibly the worst album I’ve ever heard.
I didn't understand the sound of this album.
Given the year this was released, this band seem in some ways very much steeped in the times (lots of psychedlia; cacophony of sounds, instruments, effects; melodies and vocals that sound like the times, etc.) and also a little out there on their own. It mostly doesn't work for me, and frankly I found a lot it annoying, but I appreciate what they were trying to do.
Enticingly unique and unexpected leading into increasingly erratic and annoying.
You'd think that if you named your band "The United States of America" it'd call some attention but yikes this is not great. Mediocre singing and playing. Kind of reminds me of a high school band. Couldn't even finish it because it's just so bad. 1/10.
Didn’t enjoy this at all
yuk
Worse than the Electric Prunes. Hang your heads in shame
Absolute rubbish - could barely make it through - worse than the prunes and that’s all that needs said
Electric Prunited States of America
Only managed 4 tracks before I gave up.
Just kind of felt like it was a knock off of lesser quality of the Beatles
Weird
Not available for streaming
Well, first two songs are OK but it gets kind of boring after a while, and a song about fucking Che Guevara? "Communist Rock"? No, thanks... next!
fuck this shit
Not for me
I'd give it less if i could
I tried. I really did. Way to experimental, poorly mixed, jumble of sound. I almost turned it off on track 1, pushed through and made it..but I would much rather listen to anything else.
Quelle horreur
