Moby's 2011 album Destroyed was written mostly late at night, in hotel rooms around the world when cities had gone to bed and the insomnia that worldwide travel can induce fueled his need to create. Released in conjunction with a photography book chronicl

Simply the best.,

This review is from: Destroyed (Audio CD)
For me this is the best yet from Moby. Rarely do I love every song on a CD - this is an exception. Every piece is amazing and they all flow together so beautifully. A real gem from a brilliant artist.

Ignore the critics and listen to this beautiful album,
By Luke P Narlee "Luke" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: NEW Moby - Destroyed (CD) (Audio CD)
I just want to say, if you are a real fan of moby and not just waiting for him to put out another "Play" album, then you are in for a treat with this one. I can't for the life of me figure out why all the critics are bashing this one and saying it's boring. What I personally love most about moby is how so many of his songs are able to hit my emotional core like no other artist. This is like an entire album of those types of songs and they all flow together perfectly, I love it. He's not trying to entertain you or help you pass the time here, there is real human emotion put into this. No it won't make you want to hit the dance floor, but it could easily stir up thoughts you didn't realize were buried so deep. So please ignore all the critics on this one. Just Turn it on, sit back, listen and reflect upon life and all the beauty that it can provide.

A religious experience...,
By A. Ort "aorto" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: NEW Moby - Destroyed (CD) (Audio CD)
Let me explain the title line...if you have the time...I first heard Moby circa 1993 when a friend played me his 'Move' EP. I was diving headlong into the world of the rave culture and Moby was well known in this culture. I fell in love with his music immediately. His 'Ambient' disc and 'Everything Is Wrong' were albums in heavy rotation during a period of serious soul searching. There was something transcendent, ethereal almost, in the way he was able to craft a song. For those long, dark nights, yet blissful in a melancholy kind of way, his music was the perfect fit. I smiled as his music became hugely popular and ubiquitous (you know, the 'oh, you're just discovering him' kind of thing). His amalgam of old gospel songs and catchy electronica was, at the time, cutting edge. After his '18' release, however, I had moved on to other sounds and dabbled in his music at best, though I found the 'Hotel' album to be a move forward as he added more and more vocals. Anyhow, when I read the blurb on the late night, isolated insomniac vibe of this album somehow I just knew... There is a melancholy sound that is a throwback to his early works yet the changes and growth of his later releases are meshed into one here sounding comfortable yet completely fresh. It feels highly personal and mature, pensive yet peaceful. He creates beautiful, sometimes sad, sometimes blissful, orchestral electronic music that gets into your headspace and takes you places. I'll leave out the details but I had an epiphany of sorts while listening to this album and as the epiphany deepened (at 70+ mph on the highway, mind you) as 'Lacrimae' played it felt like a religious experience. Deep, deep bliss. The album is best absorbed as a whole, as an experience, headphones or long drives late at night highly recommended. 22 of 23 people found the following review helpful

Late night electronic Blues...,
By Nse Ette - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: NEW Moby - Destroyed (CD) (Audio CD)
"Destroyed" continues along the path taken on Moby's last album "Wait For Me" but with dark and light hues sharply contrasted this time. It was apparently recorded while Moby was touring and suffering from insomnia at night.Opening is the ambient instrumental "The Broken Places", and there are many more where that came from; the upbeat "Sevastopol", the cinematic cathedral "Stella Maris", and "The Violent Bear It" (with swirling keys and gentle beats midway that rise to a chiming crescendo). Some songs like "Be The One" have repetitive lyrics acting as flourishes in the same way as say synths. "The Low Hum" is an echoey ballad with female vocals. The Bowie-style "The Day" is light Rock (with existential questioning lyrics, written after the passing of his mother), while "Lie Down In Darkness" features gloomy soulful female vocals remniscent of tracks from "Play". "The Right Way" features languid female vocals over cascading keys and lush strings. There are a few Dancefloor moments; "Victoria Lucas" (with hummed vocals and which takes a while to build), the dramatic "After" (with vocodered vocals and Moby's juxtaposed with Middle Eastern-sounding harmonies), the Eurodisco "Blue Moon" (with male vocals), and the Giorgio Moroder-inspired "Sandpaper" (with repetitive sampled female vocals and available as a download on Amazon). As I earlier stated, "Destroyed" features enough contrast to make it devastating! |
