Face It - Moby (1996)

Every artist deserves a helter skelter banger in their catalogue. Lookin' atcha, Lionel R!

One of the worst things I’ve ever had to sit through. Terrible song, horrible album. One of the worst ever.

one of the most........ thanck you moby......

Epic song on underrated album. Moby's diversity in music is mindblowing. (I also love his pure ambient albums!)

I heard his first two cds before he was into techno and his liner notes once read you wouldnt think it was the same guy later on in his life ..

Just relistened to this song and album and it's still bad ass. A 5 minute guitar solo that ends the song still shreds with the best metal guitarists today!

Have been listening to this album, and this song especially, for over 20 years now. Never gets bored.

Respect

The most underrated rock song in history.

I love Moby's contribute to rock.

My first ever gig when i was 15 was in 1996 at Portsmouth wedgewood rooms watching Moby perform this album. It's still one of my best memories

I hear Goth, Dark, Black, and Classic Metal tinges in this song.

Gahhh, I Love this Album

I love this!

Excelente

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Moby! :-):-)

Moby what a musician!
just feel his music transitions between:
Face it / Natural blues/ Feeling So Real

Animal Rights was released on September 23, 1996 in the United Kingdom, where it charted at number 38 on the UK Albums Chart.[9] The album 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 Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart.[10]

According to manager Eric Härle, the album almost killed 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.[4] Having wiped out all 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.[4]

The album's first single, 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 didn't 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.

The album's second single, "Come on Baby", was released in early November 1996, but failed to chart in any country in which it was released.

Moby toured the record as the opening act for Soundgarden on their Down on the Upside tour.[3] 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 during the tour led him to consider quitting music.[3] 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.

God DAMN!!!!

Today Moby is back in Heavy Rock music with The Pacific Void Choir.

Охуенное гитарное соло.

This song is a masterpiece

If the Devil himself made and sang in a piece of music....It would sound like this. And I say this in a very positive way. Love this song.

It's about murder.

3:19 like it!

That's a tune! I think I should consider making a lengthy mix of his heavy tracks soon.

Moby is very strong rock artist if he wants to push it to the limit. I would definitely want to hear more of his heavy tracks like this one, like New Dawn Fades, Soft. If you know more tracks heavy as that, please suggest it to me. Thanks.

face it ......make me cry to my memory of my mother who died from K.O.L beforde she can se my beutiful daughter aging 3 now

1996 headlining Soundgarden opening act Moby in Stockholm.... i love Soundgarden....but Moby blew my brain out ....animal rights is epic....20 years later im still with him.....

Animal Rights is his greatest work ever.

Humans are just another animal, nothing special except in our own minds. We don't have any right to hog and waste the planet. That's just common sense.

This song is completely mind blowing!

If you listen to some of the other lyrics on the album, it seems like a post break-up record.

Because abortion methods are really a humane way to continue our existence..

espectacular!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go to love this
