Editorial Reviews:
Album Description
With the release of Everything Is Wrong, Moby procured an entry into the major-label circuit. Covering many techno genres, the album shows Moby's desire to be all things at once. Flaunting breakbeats, noisy industrialism, acid trance, ambient textures, and techno-pop, the mix is often hard to grasp. Although this speaks of Moby's versatility, the liner notes should contain a disclaimer warning the listener of the elastic moods which may be produced by the dubious nature of the tracks. Whereas the songs are noticeably varied, the essential song-writing techniques often fail to progress beyond minimal chord structures and predictable measures. While it's apparent that Everything Is Wrong in Moby's realm, his lack of focus demonstrates that it can be equally wrong to tackle everything. Mute.
