Title: Play
Artiste: Moby
Genre: Electronic/Dance
Familiarity: I know “Natural blues”, that's it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play_(...#Track_listing

Track 1 Good boppy opener, bit repetitive
Track 2 Another decent track, but I'm not overly impressed just yet
Track 3(Love) Ok, I think I know this one. Or is it just using the piano line from “Piano in the dark”? Nice anyway.
Track 4(Love) And this is lovely too. Favourite by a long way so far.
Track 5 This is just ok; a bit of a comedown after the last two great tracks.
Track 6(Love) This however restores my confidence. Gorgeous little track, mostly instrumental with just a female vocal sort of lazily singing “Yeah yeah yeah” over it. Almost classical in a way. Really nice.
Track 7(Hate) Oh God this is awful!
Track 8(Love) I know and love this, of course.
Track 9 OK I suppose, nothing special
Track 10 Too short to rate.
Track 11 Yeah it's all right. Bit annoying.
Track 12(Love) This is lovely though.
Track 13(Love) This one is great too; very low-key, slight touch of menace in it
Track 14(Love) Love the acoustic guitar line in this
Track 15(Love) This is just gorgeous too. Talk about chillout!
Track 16(Love) And this is beautiful too.
Track 17(Love) And another great chill out. Spoken vocal. Very low-key, very very cool.
Track 18(Love) And a beautiful, tender closer. Superb.

End result: Started off a little wobbly, but really recovered towards the end and the last seven tracks or so were all gold, so I can ignore the meh ones and the one I hated. Great album, with some flaws but not too many.

So, Love or Hate? I'd put this down as a Love.

Chances of a full review: 7/10
