Rating: - Truly Forgettable
Whenever most audiophiles refer to Moby's crowning career achievement, most will mention his 1999 breakout album, Play. The creativity and originality of Play was a shining moment in the electronica genre, but unfortunately, Moby's creative light has fizzled in his latest offering, Last Night.

With his last album (Hotel) being less than stellar, Moby fans were forced to wait three years to see if he could musically reconcile with his loyal following. However, much to the chagrin of this reviewer, Last Night was a deplorable effort from an artist who was once electronica royalty. When a musician feels inclined to explicitly describe the concept of an album instead of letting the music ... Read More

I got Moby for the radio-like electronic sounding grooves - and yeah I got 'em on this album. The media of CD is just fine.I don't think I will get it on vinyl to be a superfreak for the real thang 'cause this unreal sounding funkedelic CD does it for me.

There are some Donna Summer-ish artists hollering[just like Donna would]on this CD -- so just when you think, as the song begins if all Moby offers is these divas holler something soulful over and over in your hear about you leaving her and not loving and she being in love so crazy it doesn't make any sense ... the violin comes in.

And that is what is so satisfactory about this album is that the old school joints gonna ... Read More

Rating: - Moby - Last Night 7/10
Strict vegetarian and eternally bald hipster Moby returns to his platinum-selling roots on Last Night, turning toward a more electronica/dance style that characterized his hit club record Play way back in 1999. Moby has stated in interviews that this decision came about as a result of his return to DJing in the New York club scene, and Last Night definitely is a DJ's dream.

Beginning with the catchy "Oh Yeah" and continuing nearly unabated to the album's closer, the epic "Last Night," the record chronicles an all-night romp through New York's clubs, anchored by Moby's diverse, eclectic range of beats and his obscure list of guest artists, from Nigerian MCs to "Rapper's Delight" lyricist ...

Rating: - This isn't even a Moby album
When Moby first started out, he was a talented techno-induced DJ. Although I don't really care for techno, his early music is still quite unique from other techno 'artists'.

But this isn't techno, not going back to early Moby, as some think of it. This album is lost in the expansive catalogue of songs and ideas Moby has created in a relatively short period of time. It's uninspiring, dancey pop music that mimics older pop styles (basically you're listening to 30-40 years of dancey pop music thrown together).

And the worst part about this album is hearing Moby's 'inspiration' for making the album: one night in New York City. How callously shallow! Moby is a deep thinker, ... Read More

Old sounds mixed with new ones - this CD is a good blend of classic Moby sounds. My favorites - "Ooh Yeah" and "Disco Lies". Good stuff!
