Overview Edit

18 is a 2002 album by electronic artist Moby. Critical response to this album was positive to mixed, with many critics feeling it was too much of a retread of his previous releases and lacked inspiration. The most successful song on the album was the single "We Are All Made of Stars", which reached #11 on the UK charts. The album features guest appearances by Azure Ray, MC Lyte, Angie Stone, and Sinéad O'Connor. A collection of the album's B-sides and video footage was later released a year after the album on 18 B Sides + DVD.

The album debuted at #1 in the UK (beating Queen's The Platinum Collection out of the top spot) and many other European countries. It also peaked at #4 in the Billboard 200. 18 earned gold and platinum awards in over 30 countries, and sold more than four million copies worldwide, which was a respectable number for an electronica album, even when its sales figure didn't even reach the half of amounts sold by its predecessor, the blockbuster Play.

5 stars Another leap into the spiritual world for Moby
Another 18 tracks -thus the name of the album- put together by pop-superstar Moby in this, his newest production, give the listener plenty of material to choose from. It might be questioned how original he has been this time around, when the norm of his previous works has almost always been innovation: at least I confess I had a hard time getting over my initial impression of "Oh, my God! This totally sounds like 'Play'." But after a few listens, it starts to pick up speed and take on a totally …

2 stars No, it's definitely not 'Play 2'...
I loved 'PLAY', I thought it was a genius record. 18 is a lot less involving to me, more personal for Moby I'd assume, more lonely, much more sad with an echoing wail. He sounded like someone very disappointed on their deathbed on 'Play', now he sounds like he's ready to die. Everyone notices the 09/11/01 aspect, apparently 3000 dead really put a damper on Moby's birthday party. It's not really a tribute to anyone, but a strange, detached commentary of how social/political issues hurt Moby. Kind…
