    10 out of 10 for pure awesomeness of this group. Love their tracks, love their vids, love this style. Yo-landi is a bomb. Die Antwoord has fresh vibes and its great to hear something new form hi-tek after listening to copy paste **** uninspired "PRO" djs like Calvin Harris, David Guetta or Tiesto. Theyre something like PRODIGY in their prime days. I didnt had this much fun when listening10 out of 10 for pure awesomeness of this group. Love their tracks, love their vids, love this style.

    Weird, extreme, rude and harsh, "Donker Mag" shines through songs like "Ugly Boy" and "Pitbull Terrier". Very pleasurable for who likes the genre, very incomprehensible for the outsiders of this duo.

    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.
