Simon Cross (Independent Blogger) "the music is inextricable from the politics, which is full on revolutionary. The whole album seems like a manifesto, a rebel yell calling forth the people’s revolution. Its like nothing I’ve heard for a few years, and all the more refreshing for that. They’ve put their money where their mouth is and bypassed the whole corporate music industry thing, in my humble assesment that is not only the ethical thing to do, but it makes sound common sense - so get in there while they are still new. I'm a fan!".
Sub City Radio - "I thought, another bunch of warrior anarchists jumping around, breaking guitars and rejecting contemporary society, politics, media and so on... Of course playing the same guitar riff throughout the whole album". The moment I turned on my CD player and pushed the button I realized that I was mistaken. Strongly mistaken. 5 STARS
Gondwana Sound Radio - "The album is entertaining from start, middle to finish with high energy music, complex layers and thoughtful lyrics which may not all be apparent on first listening. Peyoti for President pulls it off! This has every chance of being the soundtrack of 2009."
Blue Rhythm (Germany) - "Leading us towards some of the old virtues of politically dedicated multicultural musicianship" - CD OF THE WEEK
Laut.Stark (Germany) - "Breathtakingly modern and in the very best sense, Worldpop - avant-garde! What has been masterminded here will either be banned or adored - I vote for the latter!" - CD OF THE WEEK
World Music Central -"Every chance of being the soundtrack of 2009. The album is entertaining from start, middle to finish. Dance in the streets, learn the lyrics and sing along!"
