Husker du Die Antwoord? Det sydafrikanske white trash-band, der som sin generations The Prodigy slog stort igennem med en blanding af hip hop, dancehall og rave techno, og senere spillede på Roskilde? Nu er Die Antwoord tilbage i samme pågående, bidske stil med et album og singlen "Pitbull", hvor videoen portrætterer en klon mellem et menneske og en køter. Teksterne er stadig obskure og koncentrerer sig om de nedre regioner og forsanger Ninja'a machismo, f.eks. i "Girl I want 2 eat U", og ordene <i>"Smells like fish/tastes like chicken"</i>. Hvorvidt gruppen altid mener det seriøst, eller om det er ironi, er et åbent spørgsmål. I længden er det anstrengende, med mindre man er fuldblodsfan. Men det er der så også mange, der er.

"A punishing set of disjointed beats, crass profanities ("raging zef boner") and overstuffed artificial components. There's a stale whiff of déjà vu to their rap-rave dubstep smackdowns, from the quick-fire Xhosa chants on "Girl I Want to Eat You" to short monologue-style interludes like the distasteful "Pompie" and the delusional "Zars." Without new tricks, Die Antwoord risk coming across as no more than a panoply of gimmicky voices".

"References to Pinky and the Brain, Instagram and ODB, along with the use of phrases like "La Di Da Di", "resting bitch face", "techno heartbeat" and ridiculously, "boobs in my inbox!" on the sing-song nursery rhyme hip-hop song 'Raging Zef Boner' reminiscent of Eminem's Slim Shady period, only serve to reaffirm the feeling that we're lost in the middle of a crazily successful pastiche of pop culture here. Spanning commercial R&B ('Ugly Boy'), sleazy electro-thump ('Cookie Thumper'), soft-rock balladry ('Strunk') and DJ Muggs-led bass heavy aggro-rap ('Rat Trap 666'), Donker Mag is unashamedly synthetic in its make-up - a carefully constructed affectation of hooks, melodies and outlandish braggadocio. A record made by serious spokespersons for a stylised movement, or clever cultural chameleons? Who knows. It's an entertaining listen".
