 The Onion A.V. Club Music — Animal Rights
Fortunately, it's the unforgettable instrumentals—particularly the 11-minute "Alone," as well as the stunning, violin-based "Now I Let It Go" and "Love Song For My Mom"—that save Animal Rights from its self-imposed scrap heap: They remind listeners that when he wants to be, Moby is a remarkably gifted craftsman.

Most of the album's first 10 or 12 tracks are little more than roaring, boring electro-hardcore, songs on which the restless Moby rants and growls and fumes about nothing particularly important.
