[edit] Eighth Album
Hotel is the eigth album and also the eight letter in the alphabet, correct or no? Please reply. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.251.125.118 (talk) 16:01, August 26, 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Album Leak
I removed the info on the album leak, cuz every other album gets an "advanced preview" these days. And the tone of the edit was somewhat inconsistent. Moby's record company may be unhappy with the leak, but Moby has always encouraged the internet as a means of obtaining music, regardless of the legality.

I did the edit, because the 'its leaked' message is there on other album articles. Plus, saying 'so many albums are leaked on the web' is like saying 'so many people live in Germany'. Its still a fact about the album, this isnt really an argument to me... I hoped someone knew the exact date of the leak, and would edit my addition to blend better in the rest of the text.

GS - L.A.M.B got leaked. Doves - Some Cities got leaked 2 weeks in advance and I had a chance to hear it before it got to this side of the Atlanic. Coldplay - AROBTTH got leaked too. Radiohead's HTTF got leaked 3 months in advance and Thom Yorke got kinda peeved. But ultimately, in the long run history of an album, it's really lttle more than a footnote in its development. If you're concerned about this, you could simply start a new article on leaked albums or something. By your logic, we should also be indicating which films were being put onto the net illegaly, or which 2004 movies had Oscar screeners uploaded on BitTorrent in the past 2 months. It's just very pedestrian knowledge at best.

There's one step from music to file sharing (and there's quite an article about file sharing), so I thought the leaking of an album wasnt worth just a foot note. I'll erase every notion of an album being leaked noted from now when I find them, cause I am pro consistency in articles among each other, thats all really. If you disagree about that too, please tell.

I'm editing the part about the hidden track. It plays in my boombox just fine, so apparently iTunes is not needed. --Charron 02:12, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] No Samples
The article repeats the old story about Hotel being Moby's first album not to include vocal samples. I'm not aware that Animal Rights has any - or am I wrong? Gadsby West 02:22, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
- Ambient doesn't so far's I recall. -- David Spalding (☎ ✉ ✍) 14:10, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sixteenth track?
I've just bought the Japanese import, and it's got 16 tracks on it. Any idea what that is titled? -- David Spalding (☎ ✉ ✍) 14:12, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
