America (Razorlight song)

"America" is a song by English indie rock band Razorlight, included as the fourth track on their self-titled second studio album (2006).

"America" received generally negative reviews from music critics, who found its attempt at serious commentary laughable and pretentious.

Adam Zacharias of Drowned in Sound panned the song for cribbing the same lyrics from the previous single "In the Morning" and for coming off as trite commentary for the mass public, calling it "a terrible piece of faux-sentiment".

[2] Liz Colville of Stylus Magazine criticised the song's attempt at being a blue-collar anthem in the vein of Bruce Springsteen but without his particular musicianship.

[5] Doug Kamin of ARTISTdirect praised Borrell's delivery of the song's overall message, saying that, "It's sung without judgment or criticism and could grab the ears of rock and pop lovers on both sides of the pond.
