Man... The Bug... I just can't get enough of this track

[gergbot]

after listening to this, i feel the whole album is pretty uninspiring. one or two alright tracks but generally a bit of a let down. which is a shame considering the possibilities that could have come out of this collab.
i'm not going as far as saying they've sold out or they're in it for the money, i'm just thinking this is a step in the wrong direction for them.

Thinking about it, the album was always gonna turn out this way. They're signed to a major which brings expectations and certain demands, and obviously the trio themselves want it to be a commercial success. I think the result is there's something for everybody... you've got tracks like karma crazy, the bug and k dance which are for the heads... and then you've got I need air and the katy b and john legend tracks are clearly aimed at the charts and the casual listener. I personally find the album VERY hit and miss. I really like a handful of tracks, but equally there are some that i won't be listening to when i cop the album

I like it, I was expecting vocals everywhere but I do like "Crossover". However, "Getting Nowhere" is utter shite, really is. Mad, Boiling Water and K Dance all go well together I reckon.

I like it.
buying the vinyl.

That's well summarized, feelin' the same here

I was hoping for a bit more from Benga and Skream.

I only really liked these tracks:
01. Flying Into Tokyo (Just liked the feel of this)
04. Anthemic (Liked it but seemed to be way longer than it needed to be)
05. The Bug (It's warming up to me)
07. Perfect Stranger (Ft. Katy B) (Favorite by far on the album)
13. Karma Crazy (Love this as much as Perfect Stranger)

I pretty much just played Perfect Stranger and Karma Crazy though over and over after i listened to the entire thing.

Edit: I haven't listend to the record, so no comment on my hopes just yet, just wanted to point out that magnetic man ain't just skream and benga.
