The KLF were always known for their anarchistic plays on the system, but "America" strikes me as uninspired and indulgent compared to the intelligence of previous efforts.
I find it a perversion of "What Time Is Love" with no apparent purpose but simple absurdity. It seems to have little motivation beyond a masturbatory, self-conscious iconoclasm on the part of The KLF, which is exactly the wrong reason for them to do such a thing. It certainly doesn't have music merit, either. In that way, I consider it a failure.
Live at Trancentral was not only damn cool as a composition, but smartly parodied the very sound and attitude it was attempting.
