Reviews
"...vocalist Johnson is possessed by the ghost of John Lennon, as DUSK is full of heartfelt sloganeering, angst-ridden wailing and, paradoxically, a high hummability rating...", 4 Stars - Excellent - "...vocalist Johnson's voice booms its intimate heroism as per usual, and DUSK likewise sounds big, tuneful yet uncluttered, recalling his masterpiece, 1983's SOUL MINING...", "While Johnson's outlook teeters from bleak to cautiously hopeful, Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr conjures the perfect musical moods throughout...", Ranked #19 in New Musical Express' list of `The Top 50 LPs Of 1993' - "...DUSK was a watershed for Matt Johnson after years of apocalyptic doom-saying..., 3.5 Stars - Very Good - "...With DUSK, vocalist Matt Johnson displays his maturity as a songwriter, and The The reveals itself as a band in full command of its gifts at the very beginning of collective musical discovery...", Recommended - "...far from losing himself in lament, vocalist/songwriter Matt Johnson exults in our corruption, housing his mad cackles in desirable melodic surroundings. Not since Karen Carpenter has a voice been so immaculately recorded..."
