Last Night

2 1/2

Last Night feels more like a controlled effort to convince fans he has returned to his dancefloor roots rather then a genuine album that makes you want to move like his old classics Play and Everything is Wrong provided, instead at best mimicking the old prototype with tracks such as "Everyday It's 1989" interspersed with half-cooked attempts to update a stale palate.

The first time I heard this maybe I wasn't in the right mood, I could swear that Moby was a fag or something, and he could be - regardless, the music is still dope. The point is that this album is way cool to listen to when doing nightly hygiene. It took my a little while to warm up to this one. Nonetheless, it's got a real catchy hook, and really killer vibe. I dig it. I would recommend it to someone who likes kitsch (though I deny liking kitsch myself, I just dig this one when I brushing my teeth).

This album had a lot of hype around it. Everyone was saying, "oh, Moby is back!" ...blah blah blah.

I'm still not sure whether I love it or hate it.

Still not selling it, gonna give it MORE time to grow on me. You know these damn talented artists and how they're always 'ahead of their time' and what not. I hope that's the case on this one.

Nice mix of musical genres, light vocals, very musical and open-minded and uncentered. If you are looking for something just a little off the beaten path but not too obscure then this album will soot you just fine.

The blurb above says that this is Moby's "return" after three albums where he was in a "creative stasis." What? Moby's last three albums WERE HIS BEST THREE ALBUMS!! This, however, is standard, uncreative, passe, forgettable dance-music CRAP. Nothing to write home about.
