5.0 out of 5 stars When You're Lustful, When You're Lonely, January 19, 2000

I'll keep this review plain and simple. Dusk is by far the best CD I heard during the 90's - nothing comes close to that.

You may ask how can I arrive at such a definite conclusion, when in fact we are dealing here with an album not too many people have heard of. The answer is simple: Music is all about stirring our emotions. And if we are to measure albums by their stirring capabilities, then we will end up with Dusk on top. It's as simple as that.

5.0 out of 5 stars An album that never gets old, October 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dusk (Audio CD)

Raved by fans. Hailed by critics. Ignored by radio stations, and unknown to the MTV set. Sounds like a good album already. If you haven't heard it, you should. Dusk is one of the greatest albums of the 90's, just ask anyone who owns it. I bought it in 1993 along with many others I've since traded in or forgotten about but Dusk hasn't gone one month without a spin on my stereo. I had to replace my copy from over-use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Johnson's Best, April 11, 2002

Love, Lust, desire, desparation, alientation, emotional pain, loss, it's all here. This is Matt Johnson's best The The album. Musically and lyrically, the songs will resonate in your head. I bought it years ago when it first came out and I still listen to is frequently today. As someone who owns close to a 1,000 CD's now that's a pretty good record. This is the type of record you want to listen to the entire thing as the songs run very well together. Dogs of Lust and Love is Stronger than Death had great single potential as they did get some MTV/radio play but you really want to hear them in the context of the overall album which leaves you with a remarkable impression after you've listened too it. Johnson's lyrics can really get deep into your own self and maybe trigger a little introspection. One of the better albums I've heard that really explore's the human condition. God's knows the world could use a little more self exploration these days. But like Matt sings, if you can't change the world, change yourself.
