Reviews & Discussion
"Porcelain" is by far my favorite track on this album. Although the lyrics are somewhat sad, it's a very sexy make-out song. Next in line would be "Run On," an old-timey harmonized gospel track with a bouncy beat. Very fun! Although I agree with others that his older stuff is different, I wouldn't go so far as to call it "better"...Just different, and all quite excellent to listen to. It's no wonder this CD put Moby on the mainstream map.
This album is a departure from Moby's earlier work, very slow and thoughtful. Most of the tracks feature samples of a gospel choir from a bunch of cassettes Moby bought when he visited the south. I think its okay for a listen now and then, but its not my favorite stuff. Despite the rap it might have gotten for being a little cheesey, I think Bodyrock is a pretty decent track.
The versions of "My Weakness" that are used for "Closure" as intro and end soundtrack are slightly different re-edits by Mark Snow.
