Holy Jesus this Album was bad.

Before I delved into this Album, I had a preconceived notion of Moby: He was super annoying about being a Vegan, he was super annoying about his activism, and Eminem destroyed him in a quick diss.

So, when I sunk my teeth into this Album, I didn't have high expectations, and low and behold, I was correct.

Techno is a genre which is dead and gone, replaced by significantly better genres that took the bad parts of Techno, and replaced it with awesome parts. I'll admit, I did dig the Gospel intertwined with the Techno, but the actual Moby part itself was just horrendous. It's the kind of shit the DJ plays when it's late in the night and he's trying to get the rest of the crowd to finally leave and go home. My God, if this Album isn't an effective choice ...

I'm praying that if there is another Moby Album down the road, that it does it's job and illicits a proper reaction out of me. This was just stale, boring, and I couldn't wait for it to finally end.
