2 out of 5 stars I'm also reaching for my revolver!.......2004-02-04

If you like this song "Thats when I reach for my Revolver", do yourself a favor and look up a band called Mission of Burma. The only difference between the two recordings is Mobys version has a better sound quality which would be expected because the original is pretty old. The other things I noticed off hand would be Mobys insignificant guitar work throughout. The overdub guitars at the end is just all out of place in the mix and it adds nothing to the song. Imagine having the ego of a really good guitarist but not actually being good..

Honestly I think Moby is incredibly overated and any kid with a little creativity/pop sensibility who might be considered an intermediate guitarist armed with some acid loops could probably make music comprobable to whatever he does. Add some flimsy lyrics with a weak vocal approach and there you have it, another corporate shill born at the capitalist gang bang! YAY!!!

5 out of 5 stars Stunning Cover of Punk Classic.......1999-10-30

As usual, Moby's selection and performance of this Thrash-punk Classic is flawless. He amplifies the original yet stamps his own personal sense of angst on the song's obvious meaning. In the Black-and-White slathering of buzzsaw guitars on the choruses, Moby somehow manages to illuminate the swirl of colors that make up the emotions hiding between the layers of violent noise and self-destructive lyrics, as if to notice how shiny the nickel-plated revolver is at the moment he places it against his temple. ...easily one of Moby's most accessible works; hopefully it might lead neophytes into the treasures on his latest album "Play"
