Spike Hyzer's Album Reviews

After opening the 2000s with his third best album, it's been entirely downhill for Moby every since, all of his records bland, uninspired, mainstream, and designed for the dullards of upper middle class white privilege (despite getting all those black girls to sing for him). The songs here are the weakest of his career and would rank as among the worst of his 3 greatest records, Be the One and After are both marred by horrible production on the voices, ruining two of the best tracks on the record (even if the former is sort of a shoegazey epic, though I can't stand that genre). The Low Hum and The Day have a low key charm and are the only memorable tracks, the rest just treading no new ground in the ambient territory (which would soon make people believe he is an actual composer and let him run loose with symphonies!).
