Moby's problem is that he has invested too much of his personal beliefs into his music through artwork, liner notes etc that people are unsure as to his motives regarding music.

Does his music come first or his beliefs? He has made some dull music but then so have many artists and if you listen to his 1995 album Everything Is Wrong you can hear an artist that doesn't give 2 craps about convention and it's an album very much of it's time but also very expansive musically.

Moby's downfall is that for his own eclectic tastes and talent, he never seems to test himself musically too much and play's safe far too much for his own good.
