Soundtrack to nothing., 2008-12-09
I have been a Moby fan for a very long time, but the 'creative stasis' referred to in the Amazon commentary above shows no signs of abating. I literally threw this CD away after two listenings because it was - well - boring. Early Moby moved back and forth between beautiful and/or disturbing layers of melody, punctuated by original sounding beats. Around the time that '18' came out, it seemed that Moby had run out of steam. I am all for artists reinventing themselves (think Eno, or Bowie for that matter) but Moby just seems to have run out of melodies and rhythms on this one. The whole thing sounds like it was played on autopilot, and is most definitely not a 'nostalgic nod' to his earlier dance music. It is lifeless and disappointing. Perhaps something important needs to happen in Moby's life outside of his music, so his compositions once again feel like they have a story, spirit or soul.

Back to Play and Songs, 2008-12-08
This is classic Moby. It seems that after a little experimentation in a different direction with Hotel, this work has gone back to the mesmerizing and rhythmic synth pop with orchestral accompaniment weaving in the background that we heard in Moby Songs and Play. If you enjoyed those former works, you should surely enjoy this work too.

Better than 18 but not PLAY, 2008-12-03
The one thing I like better about PLAY is that Moby mixed and engineered that album himself br /but not this new one. It is still very entertaining and enjoyable though. Get this one instead of HOTEL br /for sure.

This Is the Best Album of 2008, 2008-11-25
If you are a club-goer, you are going to love this album. Disc jockeys all around the world will agree that Moby has truly outdone himself this time. There are two #1 club play singles to be found here - "Disco Lies" and "I Like To Move In Here." But honestly, every track is worthy - there is zero filler to be found on Last Night. br / br /Forget all you think you know about Moby - this makes Play a distant stagnant memory. I hope my review brings this album up in the rankings - it is deserving of Top Ten status! Stay tuned for my full review on dailyvault.com.

Luke-warm return to form, 2008-11-07
2 1/2 br / br /Last Night feels more like a controlled effort to convince fans he has returned to his dancefloor roots rather then a genuine album that makes you want to move like his old classics Play and Everything is Wrong provided, instead at best mimicking the old prototype with tracks such as "Everyday It's 1989" interspersed with half-cooked attempts to update a stale palate.
