Sounds like incidental music for T4. Not my thing.

along side this and bengas man on a mission with the new female vocals, its obvious theyre going for the wider audience,
but do any of you listen to the skream and benga sessions or seen them live? theyre absolute ledgends and still making mindblowing hard dubstep, if they can play both games then hats off to them as being the biggest success dubsteps ever seen

i dont know about the rest of you, but at least this is the kind of pop shit that you can actually listen to.
out of all the dried up and bait pop acts who make the same old boring trife, at least if you have to listen to pop then it can be made by people with actual production qualities and ideas like magnetic man.
sure it may be a compromise of what they normally do but you can still tell who produced the track, and if anyone out of dubstep should end up making seriously mainstream top-of-the-pops ish, then at least its these guys.

Signed for being dubstep, why try and change it.
This is how scenes become watered down and lose there identity.
I doubt that will actually happen coz MM are badmen.
But still.

This is kind of music which gets everyone saying "I Like dubstep" when infact they just like pop music.
Fucking waste tune.

it is kind of cheesy... but I do like how the vocals sound during the chorus.
I liked "Is Everything Cool" a lot better, I always lean more towards darker sounding stuff.
really though, I just want one of those flying suits!

Not asking for hard dubstep but when you get 3 prolific producers together you expect something original and interesting, not generic and made for the radio (which this clearly is).
It's not about dubstep it's more music in general. What's the point in making music which has been done for years, it doesn't advance anyone or sound interesting. Just my opinion but i was expecting something quite exciting and innovative.

It's well produced but I just don't like it personally.

We were at parklife last weekend too and Magnetic Man smashed it!!The live set is sick and the new material sounds amazing! I Need Air is one of the more uplifting tracks from what i heard them play and personally i love it! Fair enough if you aint feelin but really dont understand why people expect dubstep producers to produce nothing but what they are known for...that would be pointless and boring and limiting your abilities as a producer. Three talented producers with an array of ideas and influences, the outcome aint always gonna be what you expect and i think that's a good thing.
Big up the lads!

You mean other forms of music exist.
Seriously though yeah, i remember reading/viewing an interview with Magnetic Man that stated how the album was likely to go beyond the boundaries of dubstep so to speak. Its a big track, i personally like it and can see it being on repeat a lot over the summer (if it is released in time). Are we really at the stage where anything remotely different/challenging to the formulaic (i use that term lightly) sound of dubstep is immediately dismissed? Its not like these producers have not proved themselves already and i was always under the impression that Magnetic Man was about experimentation.
Keep doing what your doing guys!
