    With the exception of "Pale Horses" and "Shot in the Back of the Head", there is very little about this album to admire. Though Moby has never been known for big beats or dynamic tracks, he at least kept things interesting on his previous efforts. However, Wait For Me is a boring trudge through tracks that have no emotional impact and even less originality. The most unbelievable partWith the exception of "Pale Horses" and "Shot in the Back of the Head", there is very little about this album to admire. Though Moby has never been known for big beats or dynamic tracks, he at least kept things interesting on his previous efforts. However, Wait For Me is a boring trudge through tracks that have no emotional impact and even less originality. The most unbelievable part though might be that he released an ambient (as though the original version was not ambient) version of this album, and it managed to actually be better. Still, die hard fans of Moby might still like this album, but I cannot see many other people liking it much better than I did.… Expand

    Moby's most unified and understated album, and all the better for it, Wait for Me is a morose set of elegantly bleary material, quite a shift from the hedonistic club tracks of "Last Night."

    For anyone wanting to hear a genuine progression from the blueprint laid out by "Play" and to enjoy the calmer, more ethereal and undeniably sadder side of Moby's music, Wait For Me is worthy of further investigation.

    Yes, he's still plugging away, swapping the frenetic disco of 2008's "Last Night" for a more cultured sound.
