    Unlike Lady Gaga her culture of music is 'captivating' and the fans of modern music love her for it. When it comes to music Die Antwoord's lyrics are inexpressible also the music videos that they do is unwholesome, they expressed their "South Africa" culture in a wrong prospective. All they do is get attention and get reactions from others, they have no respect for the industry.

    Not very good. The only reason it has a 7.4 user score is because not many people have voted. I gave it a 0 to balance things out. Anywayyyy, looking forward to their next release.

    They suck. They have no music ability. With 45+ years of professional music experience, I'm still amazed that I watch Kimmel or Fallon. It's like a train wreck, you just can't turn away.

    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.

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

    Die Antwoord’s bombastic concerts and larger than life stage personas are not to be missed. However, this wild energy and devil may care attitude yield weaker dividends after being bottled and pasteurized in a studio that appears staffed by a cadre of rejected Saturday Night Live sketch writers.
