"From start to finish, this album would be Mark Sandman's full creative vision realized," writes Walsh. Colley adds, "For the first time in many years, I saw Mark satisfied again. He was like, 'Okay, we did it. This is the record. This is it.' He was happy with the results." After Sandman mixed the album, Morphine flew to Europe for a two-week tour. On July 3, 1999, during a concert at the Giardini del Principe in Palestrina, Italy, Sandman collapsed on stage, suffering a heart attack. Hours later, the 46-year-old musician was declared dead.
The Night was released months later, on February 1, 2000. In a sad twist of irony, the album was met with broad critical acclaim - something that Sandman had worked so tirelessly for during his life. Outlets like Alternative Press, Spin, and Rolling Stone all sang its praises, with the latter calling The Night Morphine's "most painstakingly layered and ambitious album."
