THE USA IS A MONSTER - WOHAW (LOAD 076)

THE SECOND RECORD BY THE USAISAMONSTER HAS THIS ONE MELODIC TRICK THAT OVERCOMING WILL LEAD YOU TO ENJOYING GREATLY. THAT IS THIS: A LOT OF THE TIME THE VOCAL MELODY IS THE SAME AS THE GUITAR MELODY. SOMETIMES BOTH GUYS SING IT. IT CAN BE FRUSTRATING. BUT HERE'S WHY YOU SHOULD PERSIST:

THIS RECORD DEPARTS FROM THE AGGRO NOISE ROCK OF TASHEYANA COMPOST AND LEANS HEAVILY INTO THE SIDE OF THAT RECORD THAT EXPLORED NATIVE AMERICAN THOUGHT AND THE POLITICS OF COLONISATION AND ANTI-ENVIRONMENTALIST TENDENCIES OF POWER. THESE MOMENTS OF UNISON GUITAR/VOCALS ARE NOT, LIKE IT IS IN SONIC YOUTH, A LACK OF IMAGINATION. INSTEAD IT IS A PLAN TO CONVEY BY MUSICALITY THAT SOLEMNITY AND NOBILITY OF THE NATIVE STRUGGLE. THAT'S MY THINKING ANYWAY.

THIS IS A GREAT RECORD, ACTUALLY. IT'S SO MUCH MORE CONFIDENT AND ON THE MONEY, EVEN THOUGH THE MUSICAL VARIETY IS HIGHER. IT IS A LONG OLD TRIP, LONGER THAN A WHOLE GODDAMN HOUR, BUT I THINK THEY JUST ABOUT EARN IT FOR THE WHOLE LENGTH. EVEN AS A ROCK DUO WITH OCCASIONAL KEYBOARD FLOURISHES THEY GET ENOUGH OUT OF THIS SMALL EQUATION. GOOD ON YA LADS.

CERTIFIED: GOOD
