Wait for Me

  • AMG Review of Wait for Me

    All Music Guide

    Moby's most unified and understated album, and all the better for it, Wait for Me is a morose set of elegantly bleary material, quite a shift from the hedonistic club tracks of Last Night. Dominated by instrumentals, "Shot in the Back of the Head" is the most evocative of the bunch, seemingly pulled from an unreleased David Lynch film scored by the Afghan Whigs circa Gentlemen -- a lament from a dustbowl, full of mournful slide guitar and dewy electric piano. Other than "Mistake" -- a glum neo-post-punk rave-up that, despite its cathartic release, remains downcast -- Moby leaves the vocals to a series of females (neighborhood chums, apparently) who each contribute to one song. The smoky 3-a.m. gospel whispers from throwback soul singer Leela James on "Walk with Me" steal the show.

Moby says his new album is "more personal, maybe more experimental, and a little more challenging, maybe not as easy to like." Maybe.

Album Review: Moby – Wait For Me
5 months ago

Like millions of people, I too remember how blown away I was by the awesomeness of ‘Play’, back in 1999. For a good 6 years, it was the only non-punk or hardcore-related record I’d bought, much less sat down and listen to on any number of occasions all the way through. It was a million [...]

Moby: "Wait For Me" album review
5 months ago

Ah, Moby. After a few stinker albums he's become music's forgotten vegan. Well he's coming back with his new album Wait For Me on June 30th.Like any Moby album Wait For Me is artificially fattened up with ambient instrumental tracks. In this case, fully half of them are completely instrumental while a handful of others, such as "A Seated Night", feature choral vocals but no distinguishable

Moby's 'Mistake' video almost made me cry
2 months ago

I've got a lot to write on the subject of videos today, but first: Moby's 3rd (and I believe FINAL) video for Mistake debuts on Wired.com today and it's SO good. For all of the excitement over hyped-up, million-dollar videos (think JT's What Goes Around), there should be the exact same amount, if not much more, for videos that are great and don't break the budget.Not that budget should ever be ...

CD Review: Moby ~ Wait For Me
4 months ago

I’ll cut to the chase on this review. This album is shit. There is not a single song on this whole album that comes across as anything but a lazy attempt at recycling the same thing that hasn’t been working for the past 10 years.I’ve always liked Moby, but this album makes me question why. [...]

Moby - Shot in the Back of the Head

I have always been a big Moby fan since his early days on Instinct Records when he also recorded under the moniker of Voodoo Child.

To tide us over, they have given us this mellow, brooding track 'S...
