MOBY POETRY

you know, i was listening to The Sky is Broken yesterday and i started thinking that it was the only song i didnt like all that much, but if he was screaming however. . . . .
There has been debate as of late concerning Moby's "spoken word" tracks on PLAY. It sounds as though most of you do not like them.
WHY?!?!?!?
I think that Moby has one of the most wonderful sounding voices when he speaks. It just sounds so friendly and calm and peaceable.
When I hear these "spoken word" tracks, I smile. The music backing Moby's voice is _so_ perfect with his speaking voice.
As for the entire album, I cannot believe how much I love it. Some of the tracks on here gave me the exact same reactions as I had the first time I heard Everything is Wrong. (I remember exactly where I was, where I was going, etc. the first time I heard that album...I am pathetic...) All of Moby's sounds on this album fit together so well. Are we sure that Moby is human?!?!?!
There is not a track on this CD that I dislike at all. (and for all you Bodyrock nay-sayers, that is most certainly NOT a fatboy slim sound. It is Moby ALL the way.) I cannot wait until I get into the car and fly down the highway at 75 mph with this CD cranked! What a glorious day is shall be...a glorious day indeed...

Is it just me, or does anyone else have an impossible time getting songs from "Play" out of their head all day? (that is when they aren't listening to it!) No matter what, I keep finding my self singing that cool backwards strings part from Porcelain in my head! And that's not even my favorite song on the CD!
What songs from "Play" do you guys get stuck in your heads? I'd be interested to hear!
