Negative Positive
Title: A mixed bag of Moby's best and worst.
Review: While there might me thematic motivations for the periodic instances of the punk/thrash-metal hybrid that occur on Moby's "Everything is Wrong", it is an unfortunate truth that the songs that exemplify this mode (ie "What Love") are not, in and of themselves, well done. Remove those hardcore pistaches, and what we have is a melancholy, classically-influenced collection of some of Moby's best, most soulful offerings. The album begins ("Hymn") and ends ("God Moving Over the Face of the Waters", "When it's Cold I'd Like to Die") in the gorgeous, blissed-out heaves and sighs of synthesizers; "When it's Cold I'd Like to Die" is my nominee for Moby's best work to date. On the whole worthwhile, but spotty.
Is the review positive or negative?
