This album is not just good it is a classic. Purchased on the strength of the single Natural Blues, this album has almost been stuck in my CD player for three months. The mixture of dance with blues and jazz samples is stunning. The best thing about the album is its originality, it almost strikes me as original as Pink Floyd were in there day. We knew Moby had talent, but this confirms it. You can have the album for easy listening or for turning ...

I dont really like moby but I think this album is alright besides my dad likes it and he is old that is saying something! I dont mean to be sarcastic or anything but he like mobys album and he always listens to it.
Some songs on it are wick but most people who have an album out do have wick songs. I would say that this is the most relaxing album out well so my dad says anyway, I wouldnt listen to it myself as I dont like moby's music I dont know ... ...to rap music before I would listen to this.
I wouldnt recommend this album to anyone as its not that good, I have the album but I never listen to it. When I did listen to it, it was boring and the tunes sounded all the same to me. And I dont like his voice it is annoying.
So if you want an album DONT get this one. ...

If you haven’t bought this album yet then I definitely recommend it as one to buy. It’s excellent in terms of quality and the consistency isn’t that bad either. If you have heard what Moby’s released and like that then this album is for you.
Tunes like ‘Natural Blues’ and ‘Why does My Heart feel so bad’ are just two excellent tracks which you can listen again and again without getting sick off. With ... ...a couple you will like, the techno music is just great to listen too. It’s a pity all the songs couldn’t have video’s since they were just brilliant for some of the singles released. I like ‘Honey’ it’s the first track on the single and gets you in the mood for the rest of the songs. ‘Porcelain’ a gentle song but a brilliant one nevertheless and ‘Ever Loving’ another favourite. A very good ...

Advantages: Innovative mix of musical styles, very relaxing album Disadvantages:
This is a quality offering and no mistake - a selection of totally chilled tunes which you can listen to any time, any place. Whether you are just sitting back and chatting over a few beers or want to perk yourself up with some fresh new tunes, this album has the music for you. Another fine piece of work from one of the music industry's busiest and most innovative artistes, and despite the differing styles, tunes such as "Bodyrock", "Guitar flute ...

Advantages: Every track is great Disadvantages: Played too often, on TV, lifts, shops, etc...
Play is of course the best selling album from Moby. Upon it's first release here in the UK everyone was kind of like Moby who's he, except those that were into it. Now, his stuff has hit mainstream status, and so everyone now has a copy of this album. Which kind of makes it worse really. You can't turn round without hearing a Moby track, on TV, in a lift, in a shop, etc, etc....
That said the album is fantastic, and nearly every song is brilliant. ... ...as it has such a deep sound. The mellow but moving Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad? is one of my favourites from the album. It is crammed with 18 songs and over 62 minutes of playing time. Towards the end the album changes slightly and goes into soft mellow music similar to his Voodoo Child album.
If you don't own this already, then you are missing out! ...

Advantages: It will! get you thinking Disadvantages: Probably have to be cool like me to like it!! ha ha.
You have got to be in hiding if you haven't heard about this Album, let alone heard one of it's tracks. This is a brilliant album from start to finish and will have you ‘play’ (ha ha) it again and again.
The music press have given this album excellent reviews and you’d be able to see (or hear) why. There are mellow and chilled out tracks such as ‘why does my heart?’ to the, have you beating your head in no time, ‘Honey’.
All the various components ...

I must say I didnt really think I would like Moby's album that much, but when I was given it by a friend a few weeks ago, it hasn't been out of my cd player!-and thats the truth!
What more can you say, than it is a real brilliant album. You could listen to the songs over and over again and not get bored with them at all. If you need an album to help you CHILL OUT then this is the 1 you really need and should definetely get.
I thought moby was an ... ...album-i love them all- 'Run on' is an especially good tune.
All I can say, and suggest to you is that you go out and buy it now if you dont already have it!- and if you do- why ru reading this when you could be listening to it-thats how could it is!! ...

Advantages: Parents would probably like it. Disadvantages: Nothing like good trance or Breakbeat.
Come on people, all of his tracks have been used in sound tracks and advertisement, and the only tracks that I am impressed by are Bodyrock, and Natural Blues and saying The Perfecto remix of that was far better in my opinion. I have listened to his album twice in a month and listened to Hybrid - Wider Angle Special Edition at least 15 times and bear in mind that it is a Double CD album and I got that on the same date.
The tracks seem far to solemn ...

I found it breathtaking and absolutely fantastic and if you don't already own this album I urge you all to go out and buy it. I think it must be the album i have played most since i bought it and i do not think that I will ever get bored of it. i was not a Moby fan before i bought this album but I have certainly been converted. This is definately ...

...it. I recorded moby - play off a freind at work and i fond every song good in it's own way whether it made me want to fall asleep, cry or punch the walls. It is amazing how he created most of them sogs in a tiny studio and was famous within a week of releasing his album. bernie. ...

Advantages: The "Natural Blues" & "Porcelain" Tracks Disadvantages: none - this is a VERY good album
A truly fantastic, outstanding, and original album.
This makes a refreshing choice from the usual chart garbage that is churned out nowadays.
There is something for everyone on the album, so just go and buy the bloody thing!
If you do not buy this album then you need your head examined.
It is E X C E L L E N T !
No improvement needed, I await the next album.
The "Natural Blues" & "Porcelain" Tracks are the particular highlights, but they are ...

I like this; it is the best album that i have heard for ages. When bought it i only knew a couple of moby songs and the album had recentley been released. That was just before it went to number 1 in the album charts and stayed there for ages (unlike some stupid albums like britney spears). I think moby is still in the top 10 months later. That is because, as i have told my sister many times; MOBY ROCKS!!!!! I think everybody should own or at least ...

I bought this Cd After hearing by chance at a mates one weekend. I saw the adverts etc...and thought i like moby but not all of his stuff and the last few cd's ive heard have been a bit off the wall and not my thing so actually didnt bother buying it.. However after hearing it i kept saying, i didnt realise this is moby i really like this song.....after saying that to my mate about 6 times for 6 different songs i decided i had to buy it.
Virtually ... ...very diverse ranging from the old balearic house feel of his original hit "go" to more urban Funk/Rock it is a ground breaking eclectic mix of sounds that had me playing it over and over again... Moby is back on form in a big way..

Advantages: Procelain, why does my heart feel so bad?, Inside, Natural blues Disadvantages: Strange cover
No less than an album of the highest quality and variation. Loads of music, a nearly full disk rather than the 40 minutes offered by many other artists on their albums. Some interesting rhythems and styles mixed with some classic beats, even a little bassed up harmony. Not sure about the cover but there are some scarily deep words written in the insert booklet. It is rumored that these 18 tracks are the best of 200 written for the album! I’d say ...
