Die Antwoord
Tension

THE REVIEW

I mean, it's crazy! I'm telling you, I was sitting at the bar Le Fontane, that bar of idiots down the square, right you know which one, and suddenly what do I see? A guy out of nowhere screams in the face of another guy passing by by chance "Shiiiiiit" and the other says to him "whatever you want" and that damn head screams even louder "you're a SHIIIT" and the other one, nothing, impassive, moves on, then at a certain point the crazy guy says calmly "do you know what justice is?" and the other responds like in a damn Tarantino movie "justice would be if people like you didn’t exist" but can you believe it?

And then and then what happened

Wait damn it, I can't find my cigarettes

Come on, what did the crazy guy say to him

Wait damn it, I want to smoke… (damn, where are they)

Here, I'll give you one, but continue

Thanks, and anyway the crazy one replies "no! Justice would prevail if people like you instead of calling someone like me crazy, asked themselves why they’re being called shit by a stranger"

And then?

And then nothing, each went their own way

My god, he was really a crazy freak, people like that should be locked up

Hahahahahah

Why are you laughing?

You couldn’t understand... from what I see you think like shit too.

Three elements:

Ninja, the biggest South African rapper

Yolandi, astonishing voice and seductive moves

Dj.Hi-Tek, a mask and a lot of noise

They are Die Antwoord, a new musical reality for my ears; Tension captivated me, an album that many could detest from the first listen, while for me it captivated me, I can’t get it out of my head, you will all be unbelievers regarding this CD, you listen to Bob Dylan or Einstürzende Neubauten and many other cool things.

I reply that there's no greater stupidity than underestimating a band or even a genre just because it sounds odd to you.

Tension is composed of robust, dynamic, unusual tracks.

If you don't even give it a listen, it means you think "like shit".
