Following one of the most licensed CDs in history, 18 delivers more of the gospel samples and spiritual exploration that made Play Moby's breakthrough album. But keep your expectations in check. On 18 there is barely a body-rocker in the bunch. This is often a somber, melancholy disc, blanketed in the washed-over cinematic orchestral melodies Moby's been fond of since his classic self-titled debut. It requires several listenings before the gems shine through the ambient fog--and most depart from Play entirely. On the deceptively minimalist opening track, Moby delivers a powerful message through his thin little voice. "We are all made of stars," he sings, and indeed he's believable. MC Lyte punches out an infectious rap over old-school beat-box rhythms on "Jam for the Ladies," offering one of the disc's few roof-raisers. "At Least We Tried" is a tear-jerking swan song of the highest order, and, finally, "The Rafters" resurrects early-`90s house piano, which will make any of Moby's career-long fans pine for his earliest club hits. The diminutive DJ needn't have produced Play Pt. Two to keep his new fans engaged. Fortunately, his greatest talent for cooking up interesting sounds is still audible; you just need the patience to find it. --Beth Massa

One of these Mornings March 29, 2008

The album is simple and straight forward. Moby's lyrics say a lot in a few words. I like the passion and the sincerity. The music is intense yet soothing.
 A decent album November 12, 2007

18 was the follow-up to Moby's successful album, Play. Sonically, 18 took Play to "the next level." However, I think the 18 album could have been a bit stronger. Changing the sequencing of the album would have helped it tremendously (the second half of the album has a "sameness" to it, which makes it hard to listen to that part of the album after a while).
For me, 18 is definitely a "mood album"; I have to be in a particular mood in order to listen to it in its entirety. Those fans who enjoy Moby's more upbeat and danceable material probably won't like 18 as much. While this is a decent album, it's definitely not the one I would use to introduce someone to Moby's material (for that purpose, I would use either Everything is Wrong or Play).

I have a hard time listening to this album's "18" tracks in one sitting. The overall tone and sound gets monotoneous and quickly grinds on my nerves. I consider "Jam for the Ladies" to be the only dud. However, there are not any really great tracks on 18 either. Something fans of Moby's previous albums have come to expect. Most of the tracks are average with five or six being slightly better than average (tracks 1, 3, 5, 8, 9, and 17), but even these are more enjoyable when heard interspersed on a personal playlist rather than on Moby's 18 album.
3.5/5 stars.

After the sucess of his album Play, Moby followed that pattern in his new album 18. However, his songs started to go in the wrong direction. What set Moby apart originally was his techno/electronica dance beats that reverberated around a room. Sadly, his music has gotten away from his initial sound, and though he has found greater sucess, it's not what I had come to like so much about Moby. His 1996 album "Everything is Wrong" is in my opinion his best album. It contained all of the innovative, catchy beats that his music is now lacking. If you'd like to hear what a slightly more techno version of the Killers would sound like, pick up this album. If you're not, or if you're looking for classic Moby, you'll be disappointed. I expected better.
