Hotel (album)

Last updated

It's the only time in my life I've ever done that. I recorded it in a big studio with a really successful engineer and ended up with a very slick, polished anodyne record that I just don't like very much. Some of the songs are nice but I'm disappointed I made such a conventional generic record. [13]

In his 2019 memoir Then It Fell Apart , Moby recounts his disappointment with the album in chapter 42, writing how at the time he was more concerned with his level of fame and had alienated many of his friends due to his escalating alcoholism and substance abuse:

Back in my suite at the Landmark I put on my headphones and went for a walk up and down the carpeted hallways of the hotel, listening to my new album. In terms of recording, mixing, and engineering, Hotel was impeccable. But during the third song, "Beautiful," I knew that a lot of the bad reviews were right: it was missing something. I'd traded my battered little bedroom studio for expensive rooms filled with the best equipment on the planet, and the result was a compromised album. It had a few moments of beauty, but I didn't love it. I kept listening, and my panic skyrocketed. I realized I'd made a mistake in releasing Hotel. A mistake that had now been shipped around the world for millions of people to experience firsthand. I wanted to buy all of the millions of CDs that had been shipped, bury them in Nevada, and rerecord all the songs on the cheap equipment in my little studio on Mott Street. [14]

Recording

Hotel was recorded in sections in the space of a year and a half. [6] Moby recorded it using ProTools software. Around three-quarters of the album, including the vocals and electronic instrumentation, was recorded at his home studio on Mott Street in Manhattan, New York City. The live drums were put down at Electric Lady Studios, and other tracks, including most of the guitars, were recorded at Loho Studios, both in Manhattan. Moby decided to record in outside studios due to the quality of the recording rooms and the microphones available. The latter housed a large Neve console, assembled from the parts of four to five other Neve models. Mixing was completed at Electric Lady Studios, onto half-inch analogue tape, using a Solid State Logic J-Series desk. [15]

Moby is responsible for playing the instruments on all the album's tracks, except for drums. Laura Dawn provides additional vocals. The guitars used on the album include an acoustic, a Carlo Robelli model that Moby estimated cost $180, and a Les Paul Goldtop. [15]

Songs

Moby wrote "Lift Me Up" as a tribute to the English rock band The Sisters of Mercy. He made an attempt to have their lead vocalist Andrew Eldritch sing it but he was unsuccessful in his search to contact Eldritch. [9] "Spiders" is an homage to David Bowie. [7] He expanded on the song's meaning: "It's inspired by the anthropological seeds of fascism, and how easy it is for intellectuals to turn off the intellect and get lost in the crowd." He clarified that its uplifting chorus is more "quizzical" in how easy it is for one to get "lost in the moment". [16] "Lift Me Up" and "Raining Again" contain additional background vocals by Shayna Steele. [17] The latter is about a relationship that is falling apart, while the world is crumbling around them too. "When You End" is a sad song about a relationship that ends despite his still being in love with the person. "Dream About Me" is another song about being in a flawed, yet loving relationship. [10] "Beautiful" is a love song. [10] "Temptation" is a cover of the song by New Order. [7] Moby declared "Slipping Away" as the most personal song he had written up to this point in his career. "It's not really about anything in particular. It's not about a specific event ... It's just like emotionally descriptive." [9] "Very" is a song that Moby described as his homage to Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer. [17]

Release

Hotel was released internationally on March 14, 2005; [9] its US release followed on March 22. The lead single was "Lift Me Up", released on February 28, 2005. The second UK single, "Spiders", was released on May 23, 2005, to coincide with Moby's UK tour.

As with Moby's previous albums Play and 18, an accompanying DVD for Hotel was later released, featuring the videos for the album's singles, live footage, and a sequel to Moby's home movie and tour diary series, Give an Idiot a Camcorder.

The bonus disc of Hotel, titled Hotel: Ambient, which consisted of ambient music, was later re-released as a separate release on December 16, 2014. [18] The release contains remastered versions of all songs on the original, together with three extra tracks: "May 4 Two", "Spaired Long", and "Live Forever (Long)". [19]

Hotel received generally mixed reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 47, based on 24 reviews, which indicates "mixed or average reviews". [20] Critics gave a lukewarm reaction to the album's first disc, which they felt was mostly "predictable" and "generic", [24] [31] while most of the praise went towards the second disc comprising ambient techno: AllMusic calling it the record's "saving grace" and Entertainment Weekly complimenting its "ethereal" instrumentals. [21] [23] Andy Kellman from AllMusic observed that Hotel shows little inspiration from Moby's previously advertised new wave and post-punk era, while criticizing his decision to hold off from sampling, which he felt led to an album with "all valley and no peaks", but nevertheless praised the "lovely" opening and closing tracks. [21] Not all critics opposed Moby's decision to abstain from sampling; Christian Hoard from Rolling Stone considered the "nostalgic" songs to "transmit singer-songwriter warmth and clarity through textures that effuse autumnal beauty", despite their feeling relatively sparse, and the slower tracks "[vaguing] out". [29] On the other hand, Robert Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times was unimpressed with Moby's "detached, deadpan" vocals, which leave most of the tracks as "surface decorations". He felt that although it sounds more "natural", its essence was instead "less organic and more calculated", thus showing the album's "insistence on being liked". [25] Writing for The Guardian , David Peschek also commented on the record's vocals, feeling that the "cumulative vocal pallor" and "bizarrely cliched ideas" make for a "wan listen". [24]

Eric Henderson from Slant Magazine further compared the record to a chain of hotels, writing: "[Hotel] is one identical room/song after another. Same furnishings, same instrumentation, same emotionless façade." [31] Nick Cowen of Drowned in Sound felt similarly about the album's "bland and instantly forgettable" tone, while disapproving of the "unbelievably bad" cover of "Temptation", which he wrote was too "stripped down" and slow. [32] Pitchfork's Rob Mitchum was most critical of Hotel, pointing out that the record "strikes the same mood of one-way-street sloganeering" consisting of "simple, familiar, and recycled" imagery, which dropped Moby to a "blank manufacturer of rock-by-numbers", devoid of his previously distinguishing characteristics. [27]

However, Entertainment Weekly's Doug Brog was more positive towards the album, commending Moby's "appealing cheekiness" among the songs, especially with the "big-chorus soft rock" of "Slipping Away". [23] Andy Battaglia from The A.V. Club agreed that Hotel still "holds out a few touching glimmers", with songs like "Slipping Away", which is carried by a "robust melodic hook", coupled with the "sexy, mysterious production and breathy vocals" on "I Like It".
