It Paved the Way for Play,
This review is from: Everything Is Wrong (Audio CD)
Everything Is Wrong which was Moby's 6th CD (counting the EP, Move) is a very important album in his career. It helped establish the fact that he's a very eclectic artist. Before Everything Is Wrong, Moby was primarily known as a techno artist, and a pretty good one at that. However, on this album, he gives the listener a variety of different styles: ambient, dance/techno, punk rock, and pop. As a matter of fact, his next album, the infamous Animal Rights would see him concentrate on only 2 types: punk rock and ambient. It is IMHO, though, that he's at his best when he does pop/dance/techno and ambient. Whether people like him or not, they have to admit that he's an incredible musician. This album with its different styles would definitely foreshadow his 9th and breakthru album, Play. Here's the best tracks on this CD:1) Hymn -- A great piece to open, it's a very soothing and ambient piece featuring the piano. 2) Feeling So Real -- A very infectious dance song that will have you singing the hook all day long. 5) Everytime You Touch Me -- Another infectious dance song that is alot like #2. It, too, has a catchy hook. 7) What Love -- A very hard rock song that at times reminds me of a Beck song when Moby sings during the parts that are not fast. This type of song along with track #3 would dominate his next album, Animal Rights. 8) First Cool Hive -- A great ambient and mellow piece, it may be the most recognizable track on this album because it was used in Scream as well as in TV commercials (VH-1 uses in their own ad for their morning mix). It reminds me alot of something that Enigma would do. 10) Anthem -- Another mellow, ambient piece that is a little more frenetic than First Cool Hive. It has somewhat of a techno feel to it. 12) God Moving Over the Face of the Waters -- A 7 minute plus masterpiece of visual music. One can't help but picture water when hearing this stunning tour de force of music. One of Moby's all-time greatest tracks. 13) When It's Cold I'd Like to Die -- A somewhat eerie song and way to finish the album. The woman who sings vocals on track #9 also sings the vocals on this one and does a good job. A major music magazine hailed this album calling it one of the 20 most important albums ever. I won't go that far and say that because I feel Play is a better album and Moby's unquestioned masterpiece. However, Everything Is Wrong is no chopped liver. If you enjoyed Play then you will enjoy this album.

Almost A Genius,
By Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules)) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Everything Is Wrong (Audio CD)
Moby's 1995 contribution to the world is a mixed bag of delights and mystery. "Hymn" introduces one to this collection with an almost hyper piano melody on steroids. It certainly fits into the `hymn' or a `song of praise' category, but feels repetitious despite its pleasant feel. Then the listener is attacked with nasty punk grunge-like selections of songs like, "Feeling So Real", "All That I Need Is To Be Loved" and "What Love". To be fair, these are perfectly good punk rockers. "Let's Go Free" and "Bring Back My Happiness" are probably the most confusing techno-pop I've heard in a long time. They seem like experiments rather than songs. And just when you think all is starting to fall away, the listener is treated to mellow melodic trance-inducing mood songs like, "First Cool Jive", "Into The Blue and the truly original "God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters".While Moby could never be fit into any one specific category other than "maybe" techno-pop, his creations are always wildly imaginative. This collection is a keeper simply for so many of its unique creations on so many different levels. Moby also always keeps you guessing, as in the instance of the title track, "Everything Is Wrong" which seems so very ordinary, plodding and slow. But then he finishes the album with one of his most beautiful songs ever. `When It's Cold I'd Like To Die" is an amazing, romantic piece of music with instrumentals that flow through you like calming waves and a vocal that rivals Annie Lennox. This song is alone worth the ownership of this album. Moby can be a genius when he wants to be.

Really good. Should be a second buy for those with Play.,

This album actually got "album of the year" by Rolling Stone on the year it was released. That tells you about its calibre. It is an absoutely top notch album all the way through. It's got a couple of somewhat trendy dance songs in it that sound somewhat dated but are still alot of fun and grow on you. Casual fans who have "Play" should get this one too as a further exploration of his creations.
