Dashboard Confessional

Musical Group

Dashboard Confessional is an American rock band fronted by singer-songwriter Chris Carrabba, known for its emo and acoustic-driven songs and prominence in the early 2000s.

Chris Carrabba is the lead singer and primary songwriter. The project began in 1999 and rose to prominence in the early 2000s with acoustic/emo material and later fuller band recordings.

The review evaluates Dusk And Summer as a stylistic shift away from Dashboard Confessional's earlier emo/acoustic sound toward a more commercial rock production. It praises a few tracks (Don't Wait, So Long, So Long, Dusk And Summer, Several Ways to Die Trying) but criticizes predictability and commercialization. Overall the reviewer scores the album low relative to the band's earlier work.

For:Fans of early-2000s emo/acoustic rock, listeners interested in genre shifts and album-production critiques.

 This brand new album by Dashboard Confessional leaves me a bit perplexed, but I can't help but notice that there's a notable change in direction by the quartet led by Chris Carrabba, leaving behind a rather disappointing "A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar," where, in my humble opinion, Carrabba showed he didn't know how to handle electric guitars and drums (despite being in Further Seems Forever in his early years), to embark on much less "emo" sounds, but definitely more suited to many contexts that are characterizing the current story of Dashboard Confessional.
