18

From: $11.97

Following one of the most licensed CDs in history, 18 delivers more of the gospel samples and spiritual exploration that made Play Moby's breakthrough album. But keep your expectations in check. On 18 there is barely a body-rocker in the bunch. This is often a somber, melancholy disc, blanketed in the washed-over cinematic orchestral melodies Moby's been fond of since his classic self-titled debut. It requires several listenings before the gems shine through the ambient fog--and most depart from Play entirely. On the deceptively minimalist opening track, Moby delivers a powerful message through his thin little voice. "We are all made of stars," he sings, and indeed he's believable. MC Lyte punches out an infectious rap over old-school beat-box rhythms on "Jam for the Ladies," offering one of the disc's few roof-raisers. "At Least We Tried" is a tear-jerking swan song of the highest order, and, finally, "The Rafters" resurrects early-`90s house piano, which will make any of Moby's career-long fans pine for his earliest club hits. The diminutive DJ needn't have produced Play Pt. Two to keep his new fans engaged. Fortunately, his greatest talent for cooking up interesting sounds is still audible; you just need the patience to find it. --Beth Massa

Another great mix of old soul, ambient, and dance music from Moby. It's a great combination. The ambient provides the spiritual tone; the dance provides the energy; and the old soul provides the added depth. And he's the best in the world at it....

The album is simple and straight forward. Moby's lyrics say a lot in a few words. I like the passion and the sincerity. The music is intense yet soothing.

From: Amazon Posted: Nov 12, 2007 Type: User Review A decent album

18 was the follow-up to Moby's successful album, Play. Sonically, 18 took Play to "the next level." However, I think the 18 album could have been a bit stronger. Changing the sequencing of the album would have helped it tremendously (the second...

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 10, 2007 Type: User Review OK in Small Doses

I have a hard time listening to this album's "18" tracks in one sitting. The overall tone and sound gets monotoneous and quickly grinds on my nerves. I consider "Jam for the Ladies" to be the only dud. However, there are not any really great...
