 Grey Diamond Desert, the masterpiece of the present album in the humble opinion of yours truly, is its most perfect and powerful synthesis.

 Dust is truly a small gem, an engaging and well-packaged hard rock marvel, with that "existential" touch that Lanegan brings to his compositions making all the difference.
