United States of Mind is Covenant's fourth full-length album, released in March 2000.

"Like Tears in Rain" was re-recorded in German and released as the single "Der Leiermann", which also included the original version.

The album's content finds the band united in a much more mainstream state of mind than any of their previous outings.

For the most part, Covenant's typically harsh, staticky blasts of audio have been significantly smoothened out, flirting with the simple repetition of dance-pop on tracks with minimal lyrical content, and when present, lyrics often portray much more personal themes — with greater ambiguity — compared to the hostile manifestos of mankind's reality and the science fiction themes that pervade their earlier works.

Sampled clips of dialogue, also usual on the early works, have been shed entirely save for the beginning of the gloom-bashing track "Humility".
