On this review I will be revewing the new album by 'Moby' it is the fifteenth studio album called "Everything Was Beautiful, And Nothing Hurt".
Moby also known as Richard Melville Hall is an American musician, DJ, record producer, singer,songwriter, and animal rights activist. Moby is well known for his production of electronic music. He is also known to be a vegan as he always posts stuff about veganism on twitter. I have been a fan of Moby since I heard the track "Porcelain" from his fifth album "Play". The moment I heard the track "Porcelain" I felt amazed on how good this track is. I first heard it from a movie I watched which was featured 'Leonardo Di Caprio' called "The Beach". Since watching the movie I even googled the next day to find out the name of the song and I found it. I often go back and listen to the track "Porcelain" over and over again. Enough from that let's discuss more about 'Moby'. He's one of those artists that you either like him or dislike him. During the past few years he has been criticized for not releasing another excellent album like "Play", and "18". If I'm going to be honest I dont think 'Moby' has the best discography for an electronic artist. This is because some of his albums are average. Let's discuss more about his albums I will be discussing all his fifteen albums here we go. "Moby" is his self-titled debut album. This was the album that kicked off his career. This was more of a techno album since after all he was discovering his sound. But overall it's a pretty solid debut album. "Ambient" his second studio album, 'Moby' was trying out some ambient music mixed with techno. Quite liked this album actually. "Everything Is Wrong" his third studio album. Really enjoyed this album. There are some great tracks on this album. "Animal Rights" his fourth studio album. It wasn't the best but I did like some of the tracks on here. Not quite the best Moby Album. "Play" his fifth studio album (Most Successful Album). This album is a masterpiece it's my favourite from Moby. "18" his sixth studio album. My second favourite 'Moby' album. It's another masterpiece despite I prefer "Play". "Hotel" his seventh studio album this album was quite boring in my opinion did not enjoy it too much. "Last Night" his eighth studio album. It's so much better than "Hotel". "Wait For Me" his ninth studio album I guess this is where Moby's albums starts to go down. This album did not really do much for me it's too average. "Destroyed" his tenth studio album this album is poor so so poor. Lack of production. "Innocents" his eleventh studio album this album is too weird to listen to. However they are some alright songs but it was too weird. "Long Ambients 1: Calm. Sleep" his twelfth studio album. He's back with his ambient music. It's a good album to relax to after being to stressful from personal lifes. Defintley good ambient album. Defintley starts to be like the next 'Brian Eno'. "These Systems Are Failing" his thirteenth studio album. So creepy that it has a weird choir group with very unusual voices. "More Fast Songs About the Apocalypse" his fourteenth studio album. Another album I could not care less about. Which now brings us to his new album "Everything Was Beautiful, And Nothing Hurt". After hearing this album I really liked this album it's so much better than his previous two. It exactly sounds bit like the 90s. Where this time its more of Trip Hop. It's good to see Trip Hop making comeback to 2018.
My favourite tracks on the album starting with "Mere Anarchy" This is a really outstanding trip hop track. I really loved how Moby brang back Trip Hop since it was more popular in the 90s. "The Waste Of Suns" I loved the guest vocals on this track. Great collaboration. "The Ceremony Of Innocence" I thought this was the average track on the album. Not quite the best track but I quite enjoyed it. "Falling Rain And Light" such an underrated track in my opinion. It's track that I think it's the strongest. My least favourite track was a track called "The Middle Is Gone" which I thought was too dull.
Overall this was a long review. I enjoyed this album. Good job Moby. I would definitely listen to it again. It's a 7/10.
