You may find hints of the P.M. Dawn past here--soft-spoken raps, dreamy vocals, and mellow grooves--but with song titles like "Misery in Utero," "I Hate Myself for You," and "Screaming at Me," you probably won't be set adrift on memory bliss. It wouldn't be P.M. Dawn without the usual musings on the universe and musical innovation, and J.C. (the production brains of the duo) doesn't disappoint, swerving from spare, acoustic ballads to slinky electronica with barely a breath in between. There's even a decidedly Beatlesque influence, especially on "Hale-Bopp Regurgitations," an apology for all the sins in the world (including the shooting of John Lennon). If this deliciously conceived concept album is any indication, it sounds like the birth of Prince Be's son may have brought him happiness, but not without a little apprehension. Fans of the psychedelic duo will xprobably approach this record with the same mixed emotions. --Rebecca Wallwork

New Musical Express
[Dearest Christian is] a stupefyingly undemanding listen; fluffy-smooth to the point of suffocation; so unswervingly gushy it quickly drives you to distraction.

Out with a bang.......2004-12-22

Whereas PM Dawn's music had in the past been sad and insightful, their 1998 (and likely last) studio album is downright depressed, if not angry. The songs sound different, too. The stunning opener, featuring the London Philharmonic Orchestra, is like nothing the duo had ever put out before. The singles "I Had No Right" and "Faith In You" are moving stories of loving regret and unshakeable companionship and understanding. Overall, though, the theme of the record is disappointment, seemingly in everything (himself, relationships, society, the record business). "Hale-Bopp Regurgitations" is a clever poke at the world, with a lot of '90s nostalgia. Harmonies and acoustic guitar/piano accompaniment help make a lot of these songs feel very intimate, almost coffee-house performances (notably "Screaming At Me," and the heartbreaking "Broken." For sheer innovation, check out "Untitled," a nearly 9-minute opus consisting of 3 completely different songs intertwined.

A relatively obscure CD that deserves its place in music.......2004-09-14

First off, if you're not a PM Dawn fan-you should be. Sublime lyrics, harmonies, and melodies. Most people know PM Dawn for "Set adrift on Memory Bliss", "Paper Doll", or "I'd die without you", and that's about it. A shame. It's a shame because people are missing out on one of the best artists of our time. They continue to make albums like this---quality pieces of work. Stay away from "Art Deco Halos" and "Hale-bopp regurgitations" which sound like they belong on a Beatles album from the 60's, and you'll enjoy EVERYTHING ELSE. The clear masterpiece on the album isn't "Being so not for you", the single that was released, it's "Untitled"...an 8 minute, 36 second EXPERIENCE.

Has there ever been an album like this before?.......2004-07-18

This is they're last full length commercial release. They released a thousand or so copies directly to fans of another album. But they were forced to stop because of sampling/legal issue's. Dearest Christian... is beautifully honest and very well crafted smooth pop music. Original lyric's, beautifully arranged music. I wouldn't say it is dark...just very sad at times. But there is so much that breaks through that keeps it from ever becoming dark. The album ends with Prince Be talking softly and candidly with his son whom is trying to pull him away from his work in the studio... "Are you finished with you're la la's da da?" ... "yeah, I'm finished with my la la's." very sad ending. All the stores I've checked over the last year or so have even pulled they're P.M. Dawn tags from the cd racks. If this is they're last effort. It was they're best.

I still hold their first album of memory bliss and paper dolls as the best album. This CD is also good, for the words they speak in their music, each and every track s worth listening to

you'll be sorry for not hearing this album sooner.......2002-07-24

PM Dawn explodes the slew of vocal bands out there for what they are- a bunch of boys. PM Dawn follows in the stem of Steveland and this album does not disappoint. Do not be turned off by the religious character of the album title. The first four tracks will have you on your knees thanking the almighty for the beauty of it all and this album.
