reception
criticism
The e-zine Laut.de rated the United States of Horror with four out of a possible five points. From the point of view of the editor Dani Fromm, the album sounds “ one moment like industrial ” and “wallowing in rough electro sounds the next, only to get a metal riff a second later. Or trap and horrorcore and doom and thrash. “Eaddy and TheOGM are reminiscent of a“ completely crazy hardcore punk version of Dälek . “Despite their self-assessment that they are not a political band, in their“ texts, images, the whole unrestrained attitude that blows every applicable rule in the dust ”, not only“ the quintessence of punk, but beyond that Worlds more explosive societal power than most people who say 'Fuck the system!' write on the flags. "
In the view of Mirror Online is to fight on United States of Horror " anger and frustration seemingly unfiltered to the listener. "Ho99o9 report" raw, loud, furious, cathartic "from" the war zones of their everyday lives. “It is about“ police violence, abuse of power by authorities and politicians, corruption and the Ku Klux Klan, the repressive rule of Mammon and the media. “The duo differs“ fundamentally from the no less urgent descriptions of the state and evocations of blackness that Kendrick Lamar, A Tribe Called Quest, Run The Jewels or Solange have recently published. “The“ relentless, impetuous album ”has the potential to“ break through filter bubbles and social barriers set up by the media. "
Leaderboard
In the list of the “Hip Hop Albums of the Year” 2017 by Laut.de, the album was 16th. When the duo is “ done with you ”, “ you actually need a little to rewire the jumbled synapses. "Eaddy and The OGM stand up to the" ugliness of current affairs [...] with a thoroughly uninhibited mixture. “With 34th place United States of Horror was also represented in the best list of the“ 50 albums of the year ”. In order to get the “ full drone Ho99o9 ”, the listener has to “ actually watch this madness live and directly. “At best, the “ canned food gives you the faintest idea of what's in store for you when you venture into the 'United States of Horror' ”.
