Die Antwoord’s hyper-transgressive schtick grew old long ago, but they still manage to display some great dance-pop sensibilities every now and then. Cookie Thumper, however, is a fairly nothing track, employing a sparse dubstep-pace BPM that doesn’t yield the almighty drop. Elements of all manners of electronic subgenres creep in underneath what is essentially a Yolandi solo outing, with no counterpoint to the bratty, high-pitched rap cadence that defines the song.
