criticism

The e-zine Laut.de rated aversion with four out of a possible five points. From the point of view of the editor Laura Sprenger, the listener experiences the band “ angry, lonely, funny, sad, in love, radical and doubtful. "Musically, the antelope gang" venture into unfamiliar realms. "Some pieces seem like" the Toten Hosen or other punk grandpas had a hand in it ", which offends some" hardcore rap heads ". In terms of content, the " left political sentiment " is always present. Especially in the case of the song Beate Zschäpe listens to U2 , the members show “ xenophobia in a humorous way the finger. “On the other hand, the play Verliebt draws the “ beautiful portrait of a generation that at the same time places high demands on their potential life partners and is scared to let go of the mask of cool callousness for a relationship. “With Spring the important role of the deceased NMZS becomes clear.

On the other hand, the political implications of the album in particular were received controversially: While according to Samuel Salzborn it was “perhaps something like the musical formulation of critical theory for 2015”, Maciej Zurowski judged in the magazine Melodie und Rhythmus that the antelope walk "Want to sell their ideological conformity as punk rebellion and the social Darwinism of the market as anti-fascism". At this comment, the antelope gang criticized again via Facebook that “a few of our quotes are adventurously thrown together and commented on, without even mentioning the context and the crucial point of our statements”.

In the list of the best “Hip Hop albums of the year” 2014 by Laut.de, Aversion was placed 5th. From the editorial office's point of view, the band's members hit the nerve of the times with “ their mixture of punk attitude, ambiguity, puns and political statements [...]. "Their aversion is directed" not only against narrow-minded people and small minds, but against everything, and above all against themselves. "
