Amazon.com essential recording
Moby is an ambitious man, both musically and philosophically, and that quality seeps into every aspect of Everthing Is Wrong, from the wunderkind DJing that stretches the genre limits of techno to the angry, antiestablishment manifesto on the CD sleeve. The record's opening salvo of dancey club music sets the listener up for "All That I Need Is to Be Loved," which, out of nowhere, bludgeons would-be club kids with tuneless, mad vocals and punked-out guitar solos. The same bait-and-switch formula repeats twice on the CD at almost regular intervals in the industrial shriek of "What Love" and the sudden, slow, and acoustic bent and folksy vocals of "Into the Blue." All three shifts are jarringly abrupt. However, dance-floor continuity is in Moby's blood, and he uses these songs as parts one, two, and three of the underlying rage that drives the record's concept. Without these three tracks, in fact, you'd have a moody yet convincingly cohesive danceathon, bouncing between house breakbeats ("Feeling So Real," "Bring Back My Happiness") and blissed-out trance ("God Moving Over the Face of the Waters"). Instead, Moby expresses his bewildered and desperate view of modern life by periodically yanking away the escape of blind, danceable ecstasy, using that discontinuity to express the eyes-wide-open ruminations of a furious idealist. --Matthew Cooke

With the release of Everything Is Wrong, Moby procured an entry into the major-label circuit. Covering many techno genres, the album shows Moby's desire to be all things at once. Flaunting breakbeats, noisy industrialism, acid trance, ambient textures, and techno-pop, the mix is often hard to grasp. Although this speaks of Moby's versatility, the liner notes should contain a disclaimer warning the listener of the elastic moods which may be produced by the dubious nature of the tracks. Whereas the songs are noticeably varied, the essential song-writing techniques often fail to progress beyond minimal chord structures and predictable measures. While it's apparent that Everything Is Wrong in Moby's realm, his lack of focus demonstrates that it can be equally wrong to tackle everything. --Lucas Hilbert

5 out of 5 stars i don't want to swim forever........2006-05-25

well, the year is 2006, and the album "Everything is Wrong" came out in '95. How sad (but absolutely amazing) it took me THIS long to actually discover this album and give it a chance.

Putting all the wonderful songs aside, I would like to mention one song on this album that is absolutely incredibly breath-taking. Its not even breath-taking, you can't even breath to lose your own breath!

"When It's Cold I'd Like To Die"

This piece is just brilliant. I've listened to it non-stop today and probably tomorrow and the next day. Being an artist/actor - I have written a performance art piece to the minute I heard and in hopes of performing it and getting it out there. Its just gorgeous and I don't even think my words can explain it. I come across many songs as so, but I never ever expected this of Moby (not a bad thing) but like everyone else here, I think I can speak for everyone else here, that this really displays Moby as an artist, and an amazing one.

The ending of the song is perfect, as if the song is just a moment in time, an epiphany, and at the end - it just ALL fades away in an echo. Its as if the song will continue in its next life.

If my piece ever gets performed, i'll be glad to share it with all the fans.

5 out of 5 stars Techno heaven.......2006-01-16

In terms of depth, this is the pinnacle of electronic music. It may not be as cohesive as Chemical Brothers' Dig Your Own Hole, but what Moby does here is breathtaking: he takes every kind of emotion, whether it's love ("Everytime You Touch Me"), elation ("Feeling So Real"), longing ("All That I Need is To Be Loved"), hope ("Into the Blue"), rage ("What Love"), or peace ("When It's Cold,I'd Like to Die") and abandons the notion of techno as pure dance music, and for that, Moby revolutionized electronica. This is the most important Moby album because of the diversity. This album has trance, classical, rave, hardcore...it is simply amazing. Everything great about Moby is right here. Play is also a great album, but if you want a tighter collection of songs, this is the place to start-no doubt. Brilliant. A

5 out of 5 stars A TRUE MASTERPIECE IN ELECTRONIC MUSIC...........2005-05-04

"HYMN", AND "GOD MOVING OVER THE FACE OF THE WATERS" ALONE MAKE THIS ALBUM AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY ELECTRONIC / AMBIENT MUSIC FAN...BOTH ARE TIMELESS PIECES OF BRILLIANCE, LIFE-AFFIRMING MELANCHOLIC EMOTION THRUST UPON THE LISTENER LEAVING YOU IN A TRANCE OF DEEP THOUGHTS AND CONTEMPLATION... THE UPTEMPO TRACKS ARE DATED BY TODAYS STANDARDS OF SYNTH MANIPULATION AND SOUND COUNSTRUCTION, BUT THEN AGAIN, THE BEAUTY OF ITS AMBIENT AND DOWNTEMPO MOMENTS ARE WHAT YOU ARE REALLY BUYING THIS ALBUM FOR ANYWAY...A MUST-HAVE...

5 out of 5 stars one of my favorites.......2005-01-22

This is one of my favorite Moby albums...it's after his really techno-y days, and before his newer work, so it's a nice mix of both.
I love it!

5 out of 5 stars ....." He conversed inexiplicably with an ancient cockroach in a sombrero, he knew instantly to be.........".......2007-07-26

My favorite recording, beginning with the record, somewhere west of Hellmouth, California, that summer of 1974.A true classic, in the fourth dimensional way of viewing all things, not insane.

5 out of 5 stars Top drawer.......2007-02-20

Their best albums get better the more you listen & this one dosen't disapoint. I bought the vinyl when it first came out and upon listening the other day discovered another sub-plot that I'd never noticed and split a gut all over again. One thing though. Search out the movie version of this. Don't believe it's ever been out on DVD but I've seen the VHS (& beta) versions around.

Yea, now ye may be consumed by thee righteous truth: in book 5 Firesign, side one, hear ye, "everything you know is wrong". Amen

5 out of 5 stars Dig a hole deeper enough and everybody will wanna jump in........2005-06-22

This 1974 outing predicted the whole UFO / Roswell interest that reached it's peak 20 years later on TV and many of the new-age concepts now considered common place. But it's the timing of the jokes, the expert delivery and the well fleshed out characters that make this one of the Firesign's best. A coherent, honestly conceived work that inspires repeated listenings and endless quoting.

3 out of 5 stars Firesign explores Aliens.......2005-05-06

I'm going to be brutally honest about this album. Their other generally early efforts like HOW CAN YOU BE..., DON'T CRUSH THAT DWARF..., WAITING FOR ELECTRITIAN are the first albums you should get if you're new to the Firesign boys. Those were surreial multi-layered timeless classics, that were ahead of their time, and both those and the Bozos album told the future for some things.

For all I know there aren't extra-terrestrials, but maybe back in 1974 anything was possible.

The first 5 or so minutes of this album is absolutley hilarious, and draws the listener in to hear more. But by the time of the Civil War recording, they begin to overkill, the bits drag along and much of it is inaudible during unexplained thudding in the slavery bit. The album doesn't get better except maybe the phone conversations, and I love how Cox walks out and the TV remains on. But the album never really recovers, and I sit there wondering why I'm listening to nothing. It's not funny, it's not music, or a real story to follow, it's nothing. Minus one star. There is a really abrupt, anti-climaxed ending, and no sequel opportunities possible. Brilliant!

The thing that was most surprising was that this album doesn't grow on you. It basically gets less funny, because you know what they are gonna say. In an album like DWARF you hear something new in the backround, or find a connection everytime. This was just a weak album, and I heard it was a classic, but it wasn't. Minus another.

The greatest hits of Firesign album has included the Army Training Film which seems like the only thing out of context that would make sense, but not neccisairily the best of the album.

Maybe I'm wrong, because people seem to call it one of the great Firesign Theatre albums. I reccomend you buy the first four albums and listen in chronological order, as the albums even cleverly sound as if they fade in and out of eachother (more proof of Firesign's brilliance.)

This would be good as a 6th or 7th purchase as I find it's definatley not their best, but try it out anyway, because this is simply my opinion.

The movie is them lip-synching (unsucessfully for the most part) to the album. Nino's commentary on holes, Cox's conclusion to side one, and the two fore fathers in the middle of a trip are not included in the film. (We really needed to see the snake river and endless sea.) The only new bit was about 3 seconds of Gary hitching up Cox's trailor. Dis-a-ponit-ing. However, the waiting room style of the music of the end credits music is irresistable.

4 out of 5 stars Very Catchy.......2006-10-19

Very catchy, slightly quirky songs, with fun interesting grooves: you sort of know where the song is at within a few bars and the tunes do not let you down. This CD also has one of my favorite album covers of all time (beautiful and clever).

4 out of 5 stars Marries experimentalism, indie pop, gentle psychedelia.......2006-04-05

Certainly representative of the whole past decade-plus that has seen Kurt Heasley and whoever else he corrals into his pen to take hold of a bucking bronco of uneasy psych-pop, electronic rumblings, and willful indie obscurity--in lyrics, titles of albums, and concert appearances or their lack. Heasley's one of those overlooked prodigies who every few years puts out another one-man generated and then band-processed complex album that nobody seems to hear beyond a very few. It'd be nice if that neglect changed with this one.

It's conventionally song-oriented unlike his more repetitive ep's and side projects released under the Lilys name around 2001. This recalls the early wanderings of the second 90s' album "Eccsame" more than their chipper "Better Can't Make You Better" Kinks-inspired phase. It also, in its balance between studio processing of sounds and more straightforward tunes, progresses slightly from "The 3-Way," one of the strangest albums I have heard under the guise of rock, and is closer to "Precollection," its predecessor, again marked with Michael Musanno's densely layered production. You can tell he's a bass player, for that instrument takes a prominent place in the mix, and attention to the depth it creates makes this CD nearly tangible as well as finely prepared as an audio artwork. It needs to be turned up to appreciate the moods--while not "loud" music, it deserves attention and rewards immersion.

The best song, in that it has by far the (only?) catchy riff, is the Pixies-like track 6. This stands out from the rest of the songs, which reminded me of post-2000 albums by similarly restless musicians: track 3 is like Beck's disco homage (I did not like this song, however--it really brings down the rating I gave EWII) and others conjure up Steven Malkmus' more meandering solo work, as well as sparkling hints of such unjustly forgotten mid-90s studio-crafted obsessive peers to Heasley and crew such as Rollerskate Skinny or Comet or Sixteen Deluxe or Lotus Crown in the Lilys' determination not to be too accessible, but also not too far out in left field beyond the pop orbit. In 20 years I bet the Lilys will be name-checked by whoever's at the cutting edge of whatever will pass as intelligent rock music.

This is a solid album to get a sense of the more difficult periods of the Lilys' past work, but it is not so removed from the pop side as some of their other albums mentioned above. My 13-year-old son liked it a lot, too, which says something for its appeal! "It's like the Flaming Lips, but better," he concurred (speaking of their albums starting with "Soft Bulletin"--which he likes far more than me, for what it's worth as a comparison for you who are considering a Lilys purchase).

4 out of 5 stars return to fuzzy form.......2006-03-20

the new lilys harks back to their early records like "eccsame the photon band" and "in the presence of nothing" in that distorted guitar takes precedence over herky-jerky jingle-jangles when, in the middle period of the lilys' output, Heasley discovered the KINKS. the watery bursts of guitar-leads here, in the first two tracks--"black magic..." and "candy"--echo echo & the bunnymen (in the best way). the melodies are not overly complex, not quite simple--and thus this record, i can tell, is going to be around for a while: one won't get burnt on it too quickly. strong songs all the way through put lilys in the same category of two bands i just got turned on to: CALLA and THE BLACK WATCH.
like the lils, the aforementioned don't have a single clunker in their new collections. "everything" has, in a word, everything for those of us who still love that My bloody valentine kind of feeling!

A friend plays this music while she's painting and let us borrow it. I can definitely see how she becomes inspired while listening to it. The string arrangements are perfect for letting your mind and creativity wander to new places. Sometimes we just put track one on repeat.

5 out of 5 stars Impossibly Cool........2003-03-20

Really. Great. Maybe Moby is more suited to orchestral sometimes, this can be a little 'whiney'. However, it's a great expansion on Moby's earlier work and also 'Play'. Try 'Everything Is Wrong' if you like this and haven't already heard it.

5 out of 5 stars WOW!.......2002-05-14

I ordered this on a lark thinking it would be an interesting listen at the very least. I'm so glad I gave it a try, because it's really a terrific recording. Imagine Moby's more mellow compositions given a first-rate string treatment with a bit of percussion and you've got a good idea of what to expect on the CD. It's been sitting in my player for several days now, and I like it more with each play. If you enjoy Moby's chill-out works like Novia and Porcelain then you'll be delighted with this disc.
