Summary: 2005-08-07 09:15:00 Overall very enjoyable although only a couple of tracks really stood out and grabbed my attention. Honey is sort of snappy but it makes me want to go out and buy a Bessie Smith album rather than listen to Moby rehash it. The last song, My Weakness is the best of all. For some reason, that song reminds me of staying at my grandmother's house as a small child. Odd memory coming from a 1999 techno album.

Summary: 2002-12-05 00:00:00 Worked better as a soundtrack for commercials---is grating the whole way though--would rather have listened to the blues/spirituals that Moby sampled rather than his techno take on them---Southside remix w/Gwen Stefani is horrid at best....hate to quote Eminem, but NOBODY listens to techno!

Summary: 2002-09-29 00:00:00 The blues samples are extremely well chosen and Moby just lets them do their work. thus, the result is a quality experience. The art of using samples is in their choice and complimenting this with a sympathetic backing. He does this extremely well. however, some of the other tracks are just really bad with no interest what so-ever. So overall, 4 stars is about right, still worth buying for the blues tracks. Anybody know where I can buy the original blues recordings?

Strengths: NA
Weaknesses: NA
Summary: 2002-06-17 00:00:00 Moby and Techno electronica music, are a joke. I'd much rather listen to the spirituals and folk tunes that made up "PLay" rather than Moby's jacked up, car commercial versions of the songs. He's not a genius, and he's not very talented, except with computers. I prefered Moby much more when he tried to be punk that one time. At least he was trying to make music, as opposed to sampled beats. the only good thing about Moby and his last disc Play, is that the mainstream LOVED it...which means that moby and his new celebrity gloryfing junk disc are passe and will be gone. Bring on REAL rock and roll!!

Weaknesses: NA
Summary: 2001-03-21 00:00:00 An enjoyable album throughout and an improvement over Moby's aimless "Everything is Wrong" album. The tracks often have a strong beat behind them, but are often too simplistic. Even so, "Play" is an original album because of it's combination of soul samples and dancefloor grooves. "Porcelain" is a particularly emotional, powerful piece of music. Other recommended tracks include: "South Side", "Natural Blues", and "My Weakness".

Summary: 2001-01-10 00:00:00 Moby's use of harmony is incredible. His rhythm is a refreshing change from most pop music. Moby's overall talent has evolved immensely over the years, and his album Play shows this.
