Everything Is Wrong

Amazon.co.uk Review
Moby is an ambitious man, both musically and philosophically, and that quality seeps into every aspect of Everything Is Wrong, from the wunderkind DJing that stretches the genre limits of techno to the angry, antiestablishment manifesto on the CD sleeve. The record's opening salvo of dancey club music sets the listener up for "All That I Need Is to Be Loved", which, out of nowhere, bludgeons would-be club kids with tuneless, mad vocals and punked-out guitar solos. The same bait-and-switch formula repeats twice on the CD at almost regular intervals in the industrial shriek of "What Love" and the sudden, slow, and acoustic bent and folksy vocals of "Into the Blue". All three shifts are jarringly abrupt. However, dance-floor continuity is in Moby's blood, and he uses these songs as parts one, two, and three of the underlying rage that drives the record's concept. Without these three tracks, in fact, you'd have a moody yet convincingly cohesive dance-athon, bouncing between house breakbeats ("Feeling So Real", "Bring Back My Happiness") and blissed-out trance ("God Moving Over the Face of the Waters"). Instead, Moby expresses his bewildered and desperate view of modern life by periodically yanking away the escape of blind, danceable ecstasy, using that discontinuity to express the eyes-wide-open ruminations of a furious idealist. --Matthew Cooke

Inconsistent with numerous moments of brilliance
This isn't consistently brilliant like Play or consistently good like 18, but it does have some simply outstanding material on it. The opening Hymm, for exapmple, and Into the Blue, God Moving Over the Face of the Waters and When it's Cold I like to Die. Those are the dreamy, whistful spacey ones. Also exceptional is Everytime You Touch Me, and I don't usually like that sort of thumping club music. It's tracks like All That I Need is to be Loved that I don't like. I find them discordant and jarring.

No bad, but not great!!!
I had always thought that "Play" was Mobys first album, but then came across this!

It is a good mixture of songs (some reason I love the heavy metal sound of "all I want is to be loved") but compaired to what came after this, it does not compare well to "Play", "18" and "Hotel" and has a kind of "just record it for the sake of it" feel, rather than have any real structure to it.

An album for the die-hard Moby fans... for anyone else just getting into his music, I would wait till after you get the 3 albums I mentioned above.

Moby's Best!
Yup. This is simply the best Moby, from the untouchable "God Moving Over The Face Of Waters" to the angry "What Love" this album has it all.
It's an album which mixes his club roots and the ambient-ish electronica of "Porcelian'.
Basically this album rules and pointless club acts of today should take note at Moby: perhaps the ONLY superstar of Electronica.

9/10 Best Track Picks - "God Moving Over The Face Of Waters", "Feeling So Real", "Hymn", "First Cool Hive", "Into The Blue" and "When It's Cold I'd Like To Die'

Look at the date!
For the benefit of "Disappointed of Macclesfield" and a couple of other reviewers here - this was realised in 1995!

"..I prefer a little more originality like his earlier albums." LMAO! ;-)

It's a piece of musical history and is a must have for any Moby fan or indeed anyon with an interest in the genre. "Feeling So Real" and "Every Time You Touch Me" are absolute classics.

Very disappointing
Previous Moby releases have had been classy and a sound unlike almost anything around. This album isn't though. Without wanting to sound old, it does sound like any other tuneless bass-thumping stuff out there.
If you like that sort of thing, fine but I prefer a little more originality like his earlier albums.
