"U.S.A. for M.O.D." is the debut full-length studio album from American crossover thrash band, M.O.D.. It was released in 1987 on Megaforce Records. In 1988, the band subsequently released the E.P., "Surfin' M.O.D.".

Album name

When the band Stormtroopers of Death was recording their debut album -- Speak English or Die -- tentative plans were made for a follow-up. The follow-up would have had the name "U.S.A. for S.O.D.". The band did not release a follow-up, so M.O.D. used the name instead.
