Editorial Reviews

One of techno's prime trendsetters, Moby flashed surprising rock chops on the Joy Division tribute Means to an End in 1995. Here he abandons the dance floor completely for a convincing stroll through a multitude of guitar-based styles. "Come on Baby" is the man's idea of trad rock, "Someone to Love" explodes like the best hardcore, and "Face It" is a swelling progressive epic. Animal Rights also includes Moby's ode to his roots, a cover of Mission of Burma's "That's When I Reach for My Revolver." --Jeff Bateman

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Mix, January 13, 2000

Although many Moby fans have mixed feelings about his album 'Animal Rights', in my opinion it is his best work. Although he diverged from his common theme of techno/dance music to produce this more alternative/rock album, the final product is brilliant. Rather than mixing other pieces of music, Moby focuses more on his other talents, actually playing instruments and singing. The album contains both heavy and slow songs. Moby releases his rage with songs like, 'Say It's All Mine', and 'That's When I Reach For My Revolver', both very powerful songs featuring roaring guitars and Moby's screaming voice above all. On the other hand, the album features some very relaxing instrumental mixes. Half of the album is consumed with beautiful instrumental mixes incuding, 'Now I Let It Go' featuring a violin and piano duet, also 'Anima' and 'Living' which are both songs that take over all of your emotions. This album causes the listener to go through a mix of emotions which is why I think it is so unique. I love this album, it is much better than most of Moby's recent songs which have somehow found themselves on top 40 radio play. 'Animal Rights' deserves the rights to be known as Moby's greatest work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Raise the heartrate, April 20, 2004

I love that moby does different things and realizes that music is not set in boundaries. This album will surprise anyone who has the misconception that moby is just a techno or rave artist. The music on this album is strong, loud, angry, and then you hear "Living" and you relax. This album is emotional just like any of mobys albums. To realize why moby is amazing listen to this album and just feel it.

This is a testament of the greatness of MOBY. The king of techno is also an amazing singer and songwriter and can thrash out some AWESOME jams.

Returning to his roots as a punker, MOBY was once again ahead of his time, every song on this cd, from the beatiful violin tracks to the hard hitting fast paced garage thrash rock tracks and the cover of mission of burma's "Thats when i reach for my revolver" are all amazing.

I recommend to anyone who loves thrashing screaming rock, or just good rock music in general.
