![]() ![]() It's first-rate club music, and first-rate club music is always worth your attention. The best tracks repeat their hooks enough to turn them into mantras, bass kicks exploding and maddeningly simple keyboard lines worming their way into your frontal lobe, Miami bass and Chicago house run through extremely expensive sequencers and morphing into a radiant space-age bounce. are really something.Ĭollipark provides almost all the album's tracks, lacing the Twins' bluesy, throaty voices with gleaming, futuristic jacked-up electro. Can we talk about the beats yet? Because the beats on U.S.A. There's a lso a song about the inhumanities of the prison system, a bluesy track about the dehumanizing effects of poverty, a song about the Twins' love for each other, a song about Jesus, and a whole lot of songs instructing strippers on how to dance. ![]() And then there's "Hoes", where the Twins and female guest Jacki-O talk about hating hoes, with one Twin assuring women, "If you a bitch and you hate a bitch, you can sing this shit, too!" We also get "Live Again", a gliding, melodic mid-tempo track with a hook from (of all people) Maroon 5's Adam Levine, wherein the Twins paint a picture of a woman forced by economic circumstance into a job stripping, hoping to escape every day. "Wait" is presented as part of a mid-album sex trilogy, followed by the even nastier spoken-not-sung track "Pull My Hair" and the awful quiet-storm slow jam "Bedroom Boom", and the three tracks are divided by skits of women with alert, precise speaking voices using spoken-word cadences talking about how they want to get fucked, as if the Twins are saying that intelligent women like this stuff, so it's OK. If you're looking for answers, United State of Atlanta isn't going to provide any. ![]()
