Despite releasing only one LP, the United States of America was among
the most revolutionary bands of the late '60s -- grounded equally in psychedelia and the avant-garde,
their music eschewed guitars in favor of strings, keyboards, and haunting electronics,
predating the ambient pop of the modern era by several decades

The United States of America is one of the legendary pure psychedelic space records.
Some of the harder-rocking tunes have a fun house recklessness that recalls aspects
of early Pink Floyd and the Velvet Underground at their freakiest; the sedate, exquisitely orchestrated ballads,
especially "Cloud Song" and the wonderfully titled "Love Song for the Dead Che,"
are among the best relics of dreamy psychedelia. Occasionally things get too excessive
and self-conscious, but otherwise this is a near classic...(All Music)
