 (13 Customer Reviews)
It will always be a difficult gambit writing intelligent, heartrending indie-rock guitar ballads wrought with agony without resorting to pretension, syrupy self-pity, or both. Dashboard Confessional manages to avoid such pitfalls with insightful, poignantly etched stories of the end of love and the edge of love, elegantly playing with words while keeping hackneyed lines and cornball moments at bay. DC's second album, THE PLACES YOU HAVE COME TO FEAR THE MOST, continues the Vagrant label's ascent into the forefront of earnest, emotional indie rock.
Dashboard Confessional is actually the vehicle for the musings of one man, Chris Carrabba. The frontman for at least two Florida rock bands, he derived the name from a line in one of his songs. Carrabba wears his heart on his sleeve on pleading, stirring break-up songs like "The Good Fight" ("claimed you as my only hope and watched the floor as you retreated"), "Saints and Sinners" ("this apartment is starving for an argument") and the radio-ready "Screaming Infidelities" ("I'm missing your bed, I never sleep"). THE PLACES... suits Carrabba's tortured soul well, and sets a seat for Dashboard Confessional at the ever-finicky emo table.

all the songs are basically about high school stuff like breaking up, trying to get the girl, losing the girl, missing the girl, etc, etc, etc. and i love is! chris carrabba can write some great songs we can all relate to (if we have any sort of love life at all). this is one of my new favorite albums. if you dig acoustic based pop pick this up!

Wow - Wow- Wow
Only heard this band over the internet and liked the music so much I bought the CD - and I'm SO glad I did - it's rare to buy a D and like every single track on the album.
The music is very much based on lots of rhythm guitar and appears to use lots of unusual chords.
The nearest band I can compare them to is the Goo Goo Dolls.
Hope you like it too!

Jimmy Eat World is not "emo". You don't know what emo is if you think they are emo. Dashboard is pretty good though.

Dashboard Confessional's Christopher Carrabba is brokenhearted, but also wise enough to be brash and thoughtful enough to strip his soul bare of his signature angst and pain on So Impossible. This four-song EP depicts young love and the anxiety and inquisitions that follow. It also marks the debut of Sunny Day Real Estate's Dan Hoerner. Now a duo, Dashboard Confessional exudes something kinetic ...

Oscar Wilde famously wrote a whole play about the importance of being earnest; but his was the world of satire, playful winks, and words and phrases that always meant at least two things. Chris Carrabba, the driving force behind Dashboard Confessional, presents earnestness as his calling card, uncut by even a trace of irony. When he coos to a newfound lover "this air is blessed, you share with me" on the second line of Dashboard Confessional's A MARK, A MISSION, A BRAND, A SCAR--the group's third full-length album--one can be assured ...

| | New York Dolls Great Big Kiss CD (2002) (Import) United Kingdom
Places You Have Come To Fear The Most music CDs
$22.35
GREAT BIG KISS contains 2 previously released albums: SEVEN DAY WEEKEND (1992), a series of demos recorded in March 1973 in New York, and RED PATENT LEATHER (1984) recorded live in New York in 1975.
The two-CD set GREAT BIG KISS combines material that has been previously released: disc one is a collection of demos that predate the band's 1973 debut, previously available as SEVEN DAY WEEKEND, while disc two is a legendary 1975 London concert recording just prior to the band's acrimonious breakup, previously released under the album title RED PATENT LEATHER and featuring a number of old soul and early rock covers along with several unrecorded original songs.
The New York Dolls were a band whose pervasive and lasting influence has far outstripped their official recorded output, which amounted to a mere two albums before they called it quits. Not unlike bands with similar career trajectories (such as the Stooges, MC5, the Misfits, and the Sex Pistols), the current New York Dolls catalog is packed with posthumous albums of demos, live tapes, and various stray recordings, and Great Big Kiss brings two of the better-known semi-official releases together in one double-disc package. Disc one is a collection of live-in-the-studio demos (previously released under the title Seven Day Weekend; a slightly expanded version of the same material is also available as A Hard Night's Day) recorded shortly before the Dolls cut their self-titled debut album, while disc two is the 1975 Little Hippodrome concert which proved to be one of the band's last stands in New York City, which has been distributed under the title Red Patent Leather. The demos are more stripped down and straightforward than the later studio recordings of the same tunes, but they're also sloppier ...
