"Thunderous... potent. Chopteeth's debut CD takes the band from upbeat Swahili lyrics over a South African pulse one second, to
spaghetti Western-inspired instrumentals the next.
True to the political essence at the heart of Fela's music."
—Billboard
”Raging guitars and rich, swaggering horns. Propulsive.”
—The Boston Globe
“Wonderfully fresh. With absolutely no reservations, this is an outright success."
