One gets the feeling of being propelled by unstoppable beats through dramatic landscapes of melodies and distortion. Tracks like <em>Lots<\/em> and <em>True Thrush<\/em> contain the frenetic beats and whirring distortion often found in Deacon&#8217;s earlier works, while <em>USA I: Is A Monster<\/em> and <em>USA III: Rail<\/em> allude to his recent forays into orchestration. The four USA tracks contain more subtleties and space than the preceding tracks and, like the country the album takes it&#8217;s name from, are full of complexities and diversity.
