Spike Hyzer's Album Reviews
Dance music began to suffer horribly after the heyday of New Order, Heaven 17 and others from the original "intelligent" movement that favored political lyrics over the shallow, repetitive wanking from the late 80s House movement. Moby joined right in after that epoch was ending and produced the single dullest and most repetitive album of 1992. It's simply bad on every level, with no memorable tracks aside from Go. His next record was even worse.
Moby would go on to produce 3 of the great dance classics of all time (EIW, Play and 18), but the vast majority of his other records are without any merit beyond a couple of songs (particularly the late period stuff with orchestras, proving that he was an NPR darling all along, not a great musician).
