Review

Rolling Stone (p.92) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "SUPER TARANTA! soars for three songs before settling in to a depth-charged, raucously quotable musical and philosophical groove."
Rolling Stone (p.110) - Included in Rolling Stone's "50 Top Albums of the Year 2007" -- "[T]heir fiercely articulated music turns the mess of the world into rage and joy."
Spin (p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[S]imply enjoy the band's increasingly deep groove, its rich crosscutting of violin and accordion melodies, and its mastery of both Gypsycore thrash and lilting Euro-reggae."
Entertainment Weekly (p.75) - "[A]wesomely powerful....There's always a friendly, join-the-party beat lurking beneath the chaos." -- Grade: B
Uncut (p.97) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]hey party hard and raucously from the outset....These hootenanny outings are inflected by conscious lyrics..."
Alternative Press (p.168) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[W]ith a sonic range encapsulating mosh mazurkas, dubby detours and rave-ups..."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.48) - "[A] heady blast that's simultaneously challenging and uproariously uplifting..."
Q (Magazine) (p.73) - Ranked #44 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2007" -- "[They] have been mixing the Roma with the rock for a decade, and Super Taranta! stands with their best..."

Title Note

On SUPER TARANTA!, its second full-length outing for the Side One Dummy label, the gypsy-punk ensemble Gogol Bordello offers up another raucous set of eclectic songs rooted in Eastern European folk music. Powered by the boundless enthusiasm of Ukrainian-born vocalist/guitarist/percussionist Eugene Hutz, the New York City-based band careens through upbeat numbers that boast leaping violin lines and swooping accordion playing, capturing the rabble-rousing spirit of early Pogues, but fueled not by Irish whiskey but by Russian vodka. While most of the tunes on SUPER TARANTA! are fast and festive (see the giddy "Wonderlust King"), Hutz and his group occasionally slow things down to a hung-over crawl (particularly on the woozy "Alcohol"), resulting in a dynamic and unabashedly fun album.
