    As refreshing and legitimately good as the second half of Donker Mag is, it’s still not a great album overall. It’s peppered with weak lines, horrid skits, and moments of misogyny so objectionable that you can’t hit skip fast enough.

    Donker Mag is unashamedly synthetic in its make-up--a carefully constructed affectation of hooks, melodies and outlandish braggadocio.

    Without new tricks, Die Antwoord risk coming across as no more than a panoply of gimmicky voices.

They made some other good songs yes, but they just don't seem capable of making a good album.
    The second half of the album is quite good, but quite good is still far from great, and the first half... well, 15min after listening for the second time I already forgot the songs and tunes so...

    All-in-all yet another album with some catchy songs accompanied by stuff just there to fill the album,
    mind you, combine the best hits of all three albums into one and you've got something nice.    … Full Review »
