Animal Rights by Moby

Pros: Cool loud songs and beautiful instrumentals
Cons: Some songs sound a bit too unpolished at times.

In the summer of 1997, I joined three friends for the Riverside 104 Fest, an all-day show sponsored by a Connecticut radio station. Riverside was what is now known as Six Flags in Agawam, MA. The show was great, featuring Our Lady Peace, Better Than Ezr ...

Pros: A bitter, impassioned, at times incredible record of heartache, performed and viscerally and excitingly
Cons: Moby's screaming vocals are very prevalent throughout, which might alienate some

After picking up Moby's 1999's masterpiece, Play, in which he managed to fuse gospel, rap and rock with dance music successfully, I was rather shocked when I put this seething album into my CD player. This is probably the only album to frighten me ...

Pros: Great upbeat, guitar-driven songs to rock out to.
Cons: A few too many slow, melancholy songs.

If you're still angry over a recent break-up, this is a good album for you.

Animal Rights is a big departure from other Moby releases, such as Play and Songs. In many of the songs, Moby plays an electric guitar instead of a...

Pros: Great song structure, good tunes
Cons: Ambient tracks take away from album's feel

After seeing Moby live, I have to say that this guy is the real deal. He's out there, but in a good way.

Moby is the Faith No More or David Bowie of his "genre." Meaning- he does whatever the hell he wants, damn the genre he kind of...

Pros: almost 40 minutes of electronic washes.
Cons: risks alienating a lot of his old (or potential) ones with the new sounds.

After hearing the first minutes of the opening track on Animal Rights, one gets the impression that this is the Moby that they've grown to love. "Dead Sun" drifts along in a wash of organ sounds that make the listener want to drift off into a...

Pros: Innovative and original
Cons: may offend some purists by his stretching out

As a real follow up to the amazing '95 release Everything is Wrong (yes, there have been many releases in between but no full length new material albums) Animal Rights takes Moby into new territory.

Those of you seeking a sequel to...

Pros: A new sound from the popular
Cons: Depends on how you look at it

If you liked 'Play' and think that is all Moby does, light jazz and blues with ambient undertones, this album will set you straight. This is NOT the well known 'Play' album from Moby, not even close. This album has rushes of anger, hints of ambient,...

Pros: Wonderful aggression lifter
Cons: Not what you would expect from Moby

Warning ~ This is not the same sound of Moby that is shown in Play and Everything is Wrong. This is heavy guitar screaming Punk intertwined with haunting instrumental pieces. The punk driven pieces have beautiful background instrumentation if you...
