18
a liquid cindy review
Buy
it!
Moby
once again worked his charms on me big time with his new hit,
"We are all Made of Stars!" I just had to pick up the
new album, 18, and review it for y'all.
Gosh,
I am so glad I did since this is an awesome album! 18 is a good
title, because there are 18 songs on here that seem to blend together
with a common theme of dreamy! 18 is ambient poetry that may force
you to think deeply.
"We
are all Stars," if you haven't heard it yet, Moby's soothing
voice on this one just makes you close your eyes and want to melt
into the atmosphere. It also makes you want to give your friends
a big hug. In fact lots of the delightful songs on the album make
me want to do both these things!
18
is ultimately deep with the lyrics, supplies soothing electronic
bits, relays trance sounds that are good to relax to or do your
homework or cuddle up with someone and have deep conversations
with.
The
CD is packed with so many beautiful soothing songs..but don't
be surprised if you suddenly feel you want to put on your dancing
shoes and hit the club scene because a few of the songs got the
electronic beats that make you want to move your feet, too.
Like
his other albums, Moby's voice isn't the only voice that comes
into play. Sure, Moby does seem to be heard more on this
album then his others. 18 has a few of songs featuring women with
a gospel sound to them that only makes the songs more powerful.
The songs "Fireworks," and "18," are both
simply instrumental with a piano that plays along with the comforting
ambient sounds.
It
may not be politically correct to announce your faith in God,
but Moby does it in such a wonderful way (with class and style
of his own) that you just can't help to love this album
what ever our personal beliefs. More then a few of the songs are
spiritual and hit the spot when listening to them. Like the song,
"In My Heart" is really touching.
After
listening to this album, you will find that Moby is a very deep
person; full of some very strong emotions. The album sleeve even
reminds you how emotional he is with him smiling on the front
and looking morose on the back. It also shows how we all have
two sides and that's okay. This is a good album for someone who
is sensitive, I'm thinking, since the songs really do go to all
levels of emotions.
The
whole 18 album is full of exquisite rapturous tunes and really
pull those strings of your heart. You got to check it out. So
pick
up the album, and vist Moby's world. He has a journal here
also that he writes in almost everyday and a very cool message
board to check out too. You'll love it!
