This is the just released 2003 single from Distain!, "America". While I was initially a little wary of the single after some of the anti-American sentiment that some have been expressing in other countries as of late, the song wasn't nearly as objectionable as I was afraid it might be. More than anything, it just seems to be questioning the direction America is taking... The track shows some EBM influences in the percussion, but it's still a very synthpop-friendly tune. I like it! ... Overall, it's a good single, and It's nice to know that the lineup changes in the band haven't negatively effected the quality of the music. A single worth checking out!
