If it's one thing I have to give Richard Hall, A.K.A. Moby, credit for, it's his eclecticism regarding electronic music. This type of style eventually helped dance music and electronic music reach the mainstream, but at the time Everything Is Wrong was made, it wasn't quite out of the underground yet. Still, the blueprints are here, with several genres including house, techno, jungle, downtempo, and even ambient are touched on throughout these tracks. Moby acts as a sort of jack-of-all-trades on this record; he's not particularly excellent at any one of the genres explored, but he is at the very least good with each of them. In this sense, Everything Is Wrong is like a smorgasbord of electronic music, showing the genres as they generally are, but encouraging further exploration into them by not being exceptionally original or experimental.
