Solidaritine

"While the legacy of Gogol Bordello remains to be seen, at this particular moment they have clearly chosen to stand up and be counted. With SOLIDARITINE they have created an album that stands up to the forces of hate and bigotry. Their music and their message serve as a call to arms across the world. This is the time for solidarity, and with their new album Gogol Bordello lead the charge".

"New album, Solidaritine is indeed Eugene Hutz and his gang's take on the things that are presently taking place in Eastern Europe. However, while it's clear where Gogol Bordello's sympathies lie, they don't resort to sloganeering or explicitly calling out the Butcher of Moscow by name. Instead, they have ramped up their Eastern European gypsy-punk "music of survival and perseverance" with more than a dash of prime-time hardcore punk rock on songs that call for unity and justice while championing the power of human potential".

"While not quite as intense and transformative as a Gogol Bordello live show, Solidaritine is close. Its canny songwriting and sophisticated musicianship combined with Schreifels' raw production make this album one of the band's finest to date".
