Hotel - Moby
Hotel Image
  • Summary: The latest from the New York-based techno guru eschews samples for live instrumentation and vocals (by the bald one himself), and is backed by a second disc of ambient works.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 4 out of 24
  2. Negative: 8 out of 24
  1. It's certainly not the most bracing thing he's ever done, but it's hardly disposable pop dreck.

    A slightly muted, at times infuriatingly uneven, but ultimately rewarding collection. [Apr 2005, p.89]
  3. His music has lost a large degree of the vitality that it once held.

    This is one of my favorite tracks to listen to as I drift into a sleep: high notes are definately the first 2 songs... if you are in the market for a fun-easy listening cd, this is top notch Expand

    A very disappointing album. Only two songs I like on the first disc, the second disc is much better if you're in to ambient electronica.

    Very mopey. Have never been a Moby fan, but I at least respect his other releases. Not this one.
