No one ever said DJs need to have musical talent, but Moby's "Play" just rubs everyone's noses in it. Barely able to plunk out a chord on piano, then dubbing simpleton dance beats no one can dance to and sampling weird, sing-songy nursery rhymes on top, Moby basically dares people not to try to kick his ass after listening to his self-important jerk-offedness (a much better album title would be "Moby - Plays with Himself"). The chord progressions are routinely moronic, the repetition is mind-numbing. Even Moby himself knew nobody would be able to listen to this album past Track 3, which is entitled "So This Is Goodbye" (and on which he further tries to rub everyone's nose in it by actually trying to sing -- ugh!). |
