 Another Great Canadian Band August 14, 2003

First off, don't believe the incorrect and false comparisons to bands like Third Eye Blind, Tonic and Matchbox 20. Moist isn't even remotely within the same wavelength as those wannabe rock bands. This is high-quality rock music. David Usher's modest, sincere yet almost fondly deranged vocal style make this album stand out from that previous to this release. The superb guitar style and musical composition also a factor on this hard, edgy release. There really isn't a bad track on the album. The standouts and best tracks are the big singles "Leave It Alone" "Resurrection" and "Tangerine" but tracks like "Creature" "Shotgun" and "Ophelia" deserve acclaim and recognition as well. "Disco Days" is very soft and disturbing in a wonderful way. The piano brings the emotion out with every firmly pressed key. It is definitely worth purchasing if you like strong and powerful rock music, but if you're expecting something along the lines of the bands mentioned above, then this probably isn't what you're looking to hear.

What can I say? There is absolutely nothing bad about this CD, and at the same time there is absolutely nothing very good about it either. From the angst-ridden 'Hate', the discordant brass of the title track, the acoustic bleakness of 'Gasoline', to 'Better Than You', this CD is too often bogged down in mediocrity. David Usher's distinct and pleasant voice helps give the band their own identity, but musically, there is very little originality or complexity overall. There are undoubtedly some decent-sounding songs in the lot - 'Leave It Alone', 'Shotgun', 'Baby Skin Tattoo' among them - but ultimately there isn't enough to set the band apart from other bands of its kind. Too often is the band compared to the likes of I Mother Earth and Our Lady Peace, and upon listening to this, I can't help to think that those comparisons are justified. Not a bad CD by any stretch of the imagination, but the band is much more talented than what's demonstrated here.
 Creature: One of the Best Albums Ever Made January 8, 2000

Creature is definitely a departure from Silver. It's a lot softer in places but it's still one rocking album. Hits like Leave It Alone, Resurrection, Tangerine, etc. makes this one of my favourite albums of all time. It takes you from a soft and quiet place in one second and then it sends you into a loud, powerful place the next second. David Usher's voice is truly amazing and he proves that he can sing mellower, softer tunes just as well as he can scream in the harder tracks. Overall, the band shows that it has evolved into one with a dynamic sound.

okay, what can i say, moist is my favourite band right now.... creature is an amazing and totally solid album, and david usher has an amazing voice. listening to all three of the albums plus dave's solo album just makes me so happy all the time.... anyhow, i saw moist live this summer (july 2) at edgefest in barrie, ontario and they played a bunch of stuff from creature that made me fall in love with the album all over again (and make a point of buying silver and mercedes five and dime). now, creature's not my favourite moist album, mercedes five and dime is, but since i love all three (or four) albums by the band (or just dave), i must say it's pretty amazing..... do yourself a favour and find some way to get the other albums that aren't available in the usa through canadian sellers....
No words can say how great this album is... November 18, 1998

I first heard of Moist last Christmas (or Hanukka, or whatever...). My friend taped me a mixed tape with 'Resurrection' on it. I fell in love with the song the first time I heard it, and I got 'Creature' right away. I absolutely admire the whole band (especially Dave...) and today, I'm one of their biggest fans. I also own 'Silver' and 'Little Songs', and I love them both, but 'Creature' is in my first place.
