Wait for zzzzz's....

Moby
"Wait For Me" album
Released: June 30th, 2009





Finally, a cure for insomnia! Just when you thought you had tried everything, along comes the new Moby album to put you fast asleep!
In making his 9th album, "Wait For Me," Moby stated he wanted to make an album that was 'really emotional and beautiful'. While there are a few snippets here and there, the record as a whole is a complete bore. These are songs Moby has written before. How many times can he use swelling strings, dreamy synths, and vocal samples from black churches? The fourth track, "Study War," is the worst offender. Hasn't Moby used this same string pad and chord progression on nearly every song off of his outstanding albums "Play" and "18"? Usually, you can't blame a guy for being consistent... as long as you can see some sort of maturity and growth. In this case, it sounds as if Moby himself is asleep at the keyboard.
Despite my harsh criticisms, there are a few worthy tracks: "Shot in the Back of the Head," "Wait For Me," and "Jltf." Do yourself a favor and stop spending money on expensive sleeping pills... buy "Wait For Me."
