The album was a temporary style shift from the electronica music that Moby had previously released to an alternative rock sound influenced by the hardcore punk music that he had enjoyed as a teenager.[4] The album was a critical and commercial failure.[4] BackgroundMoby's decision to release a punk rock album was in part the result of being disillusioned by the lack of positive media feedback he had been receiving from the music media for his electronic works, which they struggled to comprehend and failed to take very seriously.[2] Moby had previous experience performing rock music, having been a member of the groups Vatican Commandos and Ultra Vivid Scene in the 1980s.[3][4][5] The album was recorded between the summer of 1995 and spring of 1996 in Manhattan, New York. Moby worked alongside Alan Moulder in the making of the album.[6] Just as Moby decided to change direction, the electronic music he moved away from started to gain recognition and popularity through artists like The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy.[2] PackagingThe cover photograph features Moby at two weeks old, being held by his grandfather. The album's liner notes contain various pictures, an essay on the course of basic rights over history, an essay outlining Moby's disregard for the Christian Coalition, and a page with various "last minute maxims", such as "cruelty is unacceptable" and "you can't expect people to worry about the world when they can't feed themselves or their children." ReleaseThe first single from Animal Rights, released on August 26, 1996, was a cover of Mission of Burma's 1981 song "That's When I Reach for My Revolver". The release was subject to some controversy as both the BBC and MTV asked Moby to change the lyrics of the song's title line. Moby acquiesced and rerecorded an alternate version of song titled "That's When I Realize It's Over" so its video could air on the networks. Mission of Burma fans were reportedly outraged; Moby defended himself, saying he did not consider the change in lyrics to be very important. One of the album's "last minute maxims" is "freedom of speech is absolute and inviolate." The single peaked at number 50 on the UK Singles Chart.[7] On September 23, 1996, Animal Rights was released in the United Kingdom, where it charted at number 38 on the UK Albums Chart. The first batch of released copies in the United Kingdom were packaged with a 49-minute bonus CD called Little Idiot. Consisting entirely of drum-free ambient tracks, it was the second in a line of ambient bonus CDs, following Underwater, which came with Everything Is Wrong. Little Idiot included reworkings of tracks from Animal Rights – it also features a drawing of Moby's character "Little Idiot", who would later appear on various music videos and single and album covers. A second single from Animal Rights, "Come On Baby", was released on November 4, 1996, but failed to chart. Animal Rights was not released in Moby's native United States until five months later on February 11, 1997. The album failed to chart on the Billboard 200, but reached number 31 on the Heatseekers Albums chart. Moby toured the record as the opening act for Soundgarden on their Down on the Upside tour, where he was met with largely unreceptive audiences.[4] He also undertook a separate promotional tour for Animal Rights, where, he later recalled, he found himself playing to "roughly 50 people a night".[4]Critical reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|2|5}}[8] | rev2 = Chicago Sun-Times | rev2Score = {{Rating|2.5|4}}[9] | rev3 = Entertainment Weekly | rev3Score = C+[10] | rev4 = The Guardian | rev4Score = {{Rating|2|5}}[11] | rev5 = Los Angeles Times | rev5Score = {{Rating|3|4}}[12] | rev6 = Mojo | rev6Score = {{Rating|3|5}}[13] | rev7 = NME | rev7Score = 8/10[14] | rev8 = Rolling Stone | rev8Score = {{Rating|3|5}}[15] | rev9 = Spin | rev9Score = 4/10[16] | rev10 = The Village Voice | rev10Score = A−[17] }} Animal Rights was poorly received upon its first release.[18] Moby had earlier made his reputation with electronic music, but Animal Rights found him embracing punk rock and ambient music. While most critics praised his attempt at diversifying, Salon{{'}}s Douglas Wolk, for instance, opined that Animal Rights "finds Moby falling on his nose" and concluded that "maybe somebody should try to convince Moby that guitars are actually made out of dead animals",[19] while Rolling Stone{{'}}s Lorraine Ali felt that "this time around, he has decided to push an agenda instead of boundaries".[15] Seeming to expect its critical reception, Moby added the following entreaty to the bottom of the credits page: "please listen to animal rights in its entirety at least once."[30] LegacyAccording to Moby's manager Eric Härle, Animal Rights nearly ended Moby's career because not only did the new direction leave audiences cold – with music media uninterested and his existing fan base largely alienated by it – but it led to people being confused as to what kind of artist Moby really was.[2] Having "wipe[d] out all of his early good work" in establishing himself, Moby was left struggling for any kind of recognition and quickly became seen as a "has-been" in the eyes of many people in the industry.[2] In an interview for Rolling Stone, Moby admitted that the failure of Animal Rights, combined with the negative reception he received from Soundgarden's fanbase while touring the album, led him to consider quitting music.[18] However, he chose to continue his career after other artists, including Terence Trent D'Arby, Axl Rose and Bono, personally told him they enjoyed the album.[18] By 2002, Animal Rights had sold 100,000 copies worldwide.[20] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that Animal Rights "ranks as one of the classic failed albums, right alongside Sinéad O'Connor's big-band Am I Not Your Girl."[8] On the other hand, Drowned in Sound critic Mark Reed, in a 2002 retrospective review, suggested that Animal Rights had been unfairly lambasted by contemporary critics for being unrepresentative of Moby's capabilities and for "daring to go against the grain", describing it as "one of the most underbought, underrated, unusual albums a major recording artist has ever produced."[21] However, despite the negative critical reaction, Moby has since named Animal Rights as his favorite album of his.[22]Track listing{{Track listing| headline = UK release | all_writing = Moby, except where noted | title1 = Now I Let It Go | length1 = 2:08 | title2 = Come On Baby | length2 = 4:39 | title3 = Someone to Love | length3 = 2:51 | title4 = Heavy Flow | length4 = 1:54 | title5 = You | length5 = 2:33 | title6 = My Love Will Never Die | length6 = 4:32 | title7 = Soft | length7 = 3:57 | title8 = Say It's All Mine | length8 = 6:04 | title9 = That's When I Reach for My Revolver | writer9 = Clint Conley | length9 = 3:55 | title10 = Face It | length10 = 10:01 | title11 = Living | length11 = 6:59 | title12 = Love Song for My Mom | length12 = 3:40 | total_length = 53:13 }}{{Track listing | headline = US release | title1 = Dead Sun | length1 = 3:40 | title2 = Someone to Love | length2 = 3:09 | title3 = Heavy Flow | length3 = 1:55 | title4 = You | length4 = 2:33 | title5 = Now I Let It Go | length5 = 2:09 | title6 = Come On Baby | length6 = 4:30 | title7 = Soft | length7 = 3:54 | title8 = Anima | length8 = 2:25 | title9 = Say It's All Mine | length9 = 6:04 | title10 = That's When I Reach for My Revolver | writer10 = Conley | length10 = 3:55 | title11 = Alone | length11 = 10:45 | title12 = Face It | length12 = 10:00 | title13 = Old | length13 = 3:06 | title14 = Living | length14 = 6:58 | title15 = Love Song for My Mom | length15 = 3:38 | title16 = A Season in Hell | length16 = 3:57 | total_length = 72:38 }}{{Track listing | headline = Bonus disc: Little Idiot | collapsed = yes | title1 = Degenerate | length1 = 3:25 | title2 = Dead City | length2 = 4:53 | title3 = Walnut | length3 = 3:06 | title4 = Old | length4 = 5:06 | title5 = A Season in Hell | length5 = 4:01 | title6 = Love Song for My Mom | length6 = 3:43 | title7 = The Blue Terror of Lawns | length7 = 3:22 | title8 = Dead Sun | length8 = 3:44 | title9 = Reject | length9 = 18:28 | total_length = 49:48 }} PersonnelCredits for Animal Rights adapted from album liner notes.[23]
