| F1 (Pacific NW...gotta get back to Chicago) | Posted: Oct 31, 2008 - 14:12 Lots of prejudice against him for some reason. Success too fast? Elevator music? Short and kinda wimpy? Whatever. I think he CAN sing and this tune has a nice melody. |

| Tagish_girl (happily seeking hammock) | Posted: Oct 31, 2007 - 14:14 Hey, I never knew Moby actually sang WORDS in his songs.... usually just falsetto humming.... good for Hallowe'en, though, the thought of bald little spiders running around... |

| arighter2 | Posted: Mar 24, 2006 - 12:42 Like this one a whole lot! Guess the low ratings overall knocked it off the playlist. Oh well... |
| hcaudill (Washington, DC) | Posted: Sep 19, 2005 - 14:04 Everytime I hear this song I think the phone's ringing and I take off my headphones. |

So I was right about the "uncrush my hands"? Dear sweet FSM, that is just - awful. Really silly and awful in a bad high-school poetry way. I'd knock it down a notch or two in my ratings, but I've already given it a 2 and I refuse to give anything a "Sucko-Barfo" on principle. Sorry, Mobester. Not good. Stick to the instrumentals. |
| Roverfish (Tucson, AZ - Thanks for visiting, please drive through!) | Posted: Aug 31, 2005 - 22:03 Ok, I've given the song a couple plays. It sucks. Moby uses repetition to his advantage on his instrumentals and mixes, but when he sings, it drones. And yeah, the lyrics are inane. "Uncrush my hands"??? Straight to a generous 2. |
| maLeFunKtion (Scotland) | Posted: Aug 29, 2005 - 01:39 This song, and the whole Hotel album did nothing for me. I used to like Moby, and to date I still reckon his best album was Play. Sadly I was not impressed with 18 or Hotel. A harshly rated 2 from me. <-( |

I've always found him to be completely overrated. The weakest melodies ontop of chord progressions that are about as original as anything Britney has ever popped out (so to speak) and vocal skill/control that any 7 year old could put to shame.

"Come back to us spiders, Come on crush my hands???" I heard "uncrush my hands", which actually makes less sense. Still, not getting the lyrics here. Anyone? |
| thekid (St. Louis, Misery) | Posted: Aug 10, 2005 - 10:38 His vocals are VERY weak until he hits the bridge/refrain/whatever. That said, I still give it an 8. |
| kevbo77 | Posted: Aug 10, 2005 - 10:33 remember when moby wasn't mediocre? me neither |
| jbtidwell (Atlanta, GA) | Posted: Aug 10, 2005 - 10:33 Ugh, now I know how the U2 bashers feel... not this song again! Give us the Moby songs that he doesn't sing on! |
| Sobient | Posted: Aug 10, 2005 - 10:31 it's actually a fanstastic song, kinda clisque but anyhow, very likeable. I give it a 8/10. |
| trekhead (Just Missed Me.) | Posted: Aug 08, 2005 - 06:10 Anyone have the words here? "Come back to us spiders, Come on crush my hands???" |
| winter (hither and yon (mostly yon)) | Posted: Aug 06, 2005 - 00:01 I actually find myself liking this less every time I so much as think about it. |

Damn! I came here just to say that. |

| flandersdog (the sunny Pac NW) | Posted: Jul 18, 2005 - 10:22 don't like spiders, don't like "Spiders" |

I just saw and met him when he played in my hometown. This guy can play the heck out of an electric guitar, bass and the bongos. He's amazingly versatile. I had no clue either... but was blown away by this guy's energy and talent. I still agree with you about the voice though. |
| jbtidwell (Atlanta, GA) | Posted: Jul 07, 2005 - 11:25 If this wasn't Moby I don't think it would have made it onto RP. |
| Pyro (Northwest Louisiana) | Posted: Jul 05, 2005 - 21:52 Just to add a little balance to the comments, I happen to have LOVED Play and 18. Haven't been blown away by Hotel. Obviously, someone likes Moby, or he would HAVE to find another occupation. I happen to be a mild fan (who owns 3 Moby CDs only). |
| the_om (Indianapolis, IN) | Posted: Jun 29, 2005 - 10:30 Nice song. But I prefer not to have spiders in my hotel.  |
| mezzanine (Just below the thumb) | Posted: Jun 29, 2005 - 10:28 Moby needs to quit trying to sing and play instruments. He's about as mediocre at both as you can get. |
| bwanab (Somewhere in New York) | Posted: May 26, 2005 - 14:27 Haven't heard any of his albums. This song is pretty good. |
| beetFreeQ | Posted: May 24, 2005 - 07:14 I hated the albums play and 18, because of the monotony and very amateurish play of instruments. On hotel there's much more rock, but his abilities in playing all the instruments still are awful. |
| gForce (Bangor ME) | Posted: May 24, 2005 - 07:09 Monotonous and unimaginative. |
| ploafmaster (Richmond, VA) | Posted: May 24, 2005 - 07:07 Okay so far... First! |
