Moby is an exceptionally talented individual, you only have to listen to Play to know that. When it comes to that particular style of music (whatever it's called) then Moby relly is at the top of his league. What's more when I see him on TV he seems like a really nice guy to boot. That's why I don't begrudge him this album, which to be honest, strikes me as a bit of a failed experiment.

Although it isn't the title track, the main track of the album really is the James Bond theme, which really rocks. It mixes the funky guitars of the well known 007 riff with some steaming dance music and the result is a really energetic and enjoyable bit of music.

"I like to Score", (which is a track as well as the name of the album) is good too - here we see Moby doing what he does best - this trancey track is echoed in other tracks throughout the album, and is a really nice, relaxing bit of music.

Other than that though, things start to go a bit wrong. It seems that Moby wanted to play around with other styles of music, and the resulting hardcore dance and dark grungey metal not only fails to fit in but isn't particularly nice to listen to.

Still, if Moby wants to experiment then that's fine with me, just as long as he doesn't forget what he does best, and what we want to hear. If you're a real fan then buy this album and maybe you'll find it to your taste, otherwise just buy Play and anything else from his back catalogue that takes your fancy.
