Magnetic Man"S/T"

The first Song "Flying into Tokyo" has beautiful strings and instrumentals and a great way to "takeoff" the album. The dancehall stomp of "Fire" with the awesome vocal delivery of Ms. Dynamite sounds really great.The One Two Punch of "I Need Air" and "Anthemic" is great; Angela Hunter contributes great vocals on the former track, and the latter has some nice horn toward the four minute mark; it can be an anthem for dancing. "The Bug" is really cool with great whispery female and robotic male vocals,interesting, talking about a kind of contagion; well the beat is pretty contagious and makes you want to "Bug Out." The lyrics are just menacing and unforgiving though:"I am the bug in this global community/Ravage your conscience with total impunity/I am the bug in this global community/Seek and provoke degradation and lunacy/I am the bug in this global community/Go tell your new God to beware of my heresy/I am the bug in this global community." The next song would be nice to play "Ping Pong" while listening to it. It has these beats that sound as if a ball is going back and forth, and a nice loop in the background with some sfx, and a nice beat comes around 4:20. First impressions often make it hard to change them, but this "Perfect Stranger" had a great one with wonderful vocals by Katy B. Know one thing that makes me "Mad?" How good music gets overlooked, because there is no money in it, but that's a real frivolous thing to be mad at, there are so many things that are Muuuch worse.This song has a great ethnic-techno flavor. "Boiling Water" features Sam Frank on vocals and is a good listen,partly because of it percussive attack. "K Dance" with it's slow beat that then has this assisting low beat with the preceding and some high techno spits which then goes to land. "Crossover?" The Big Time? Katy B returns on this one and these are on the other end of the spectrum "I could put your every wrong to right/I will be your sanctuary tonight/Crossover and come inside/Crossover and come inside/I'm the only friend you'll need to know/Give me all your troubles let them go." "Box of Ghosts" is a nice spacey, slightly eerie instrumental with a great sound, and "Karma Crazy"almost makes you feel as if you are "Getting Nowhere." John Legend lays down his beautiful soulful vocals on a subject with no soul; a great beat and muted bass-bloops works well with his vocals. "Electronic world, supersonic girl/We keep holding onto nothing/We keep typing, we're not talking/We lose endlessly, world won't get by me/I feel like I'm onto something/We keep moving, we're not there yet" is this commentary on the current state of communication, how verbal communication is falling behind that of texting, typing, facebooking, skyping (technically that is verbal communication, but it rhymed so I kept it).
