DJ Mag Brand Moby Bland And Misguided

"Moby's return is even blander than his last MOR (Middle of the road) outing," according to DJ Magazine's review of his new single 'We Are All Made Of Stars'. "All the vocal mixes suffer from Moby's misguided belief that he is Michael Stipe (REM)."

In what's a curiously vicious critical assault, the article goes on to mock his religion, asking, "As a Christian, shouldn't Moby think we're all made from Adam and Eve-"

Moby's likely to be unconcerned, given that he's also been viciously slandered by Emimem in a forthcoming song.

"I haven't heard it yet, but I do think it's very funny that he's singled me out as an object of his scorn," Moby said in a statement circulated by his record label Mute.

"The weird thing is that I actually do think that Eminem has skills as an MC, but it disturbs me that he glorifies homophobia and misogyny in his songs. Especially seeing as his listeners are, for the most part, very impressionable 10 year old boys," he added.
