Couldn't listen past the first song...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Swiss Army Romance (Audio CD)
I'm a huge fan of modern rock, even the emo that has arisen lately. However, I can't bear to listen to DC. I don't really know why. The music isn't compelling, nothing that grabs your attention and makes you crave more. The lead singer makes me want to hurl. It seems like they sat down with the intent of making blank number of songs, jotted down what first came to their minds, and then ran with it. I went in hoping they would be similar to the Ataris, All-American Rejects, or Yellowcard (three bands that I like very much). All I got was bad vibes and an excruciating headache from Chris Carrabba's whiny voice. I recently bought the Spiderman 2 Soundtrack, and must say, it's incredible. Except for "Vindicated." I skip to Track 2 every time I put in the CD. For some reason, Dashboard Confessional has tried to go for something that is soulful, edgy, and creative, but they've only wound up with this extremely underdeveloped mush. And I'm not just typing this as a DC-hater. I love this genre of music, but they just fail to appeal to my specific tastes.

An emotional adventure,
By Nelson Pagcanlungan (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Swiss Army Romance (Audio CD)
Wow, is all I could really say about this CD. 90 percent of these songs are acoustic solos by Chris Carabba and they are all brilliant. I could relate to most of these songs, which of course deal with heartbreak and the girls associated with them.The song opens up with.... Screaming Infidelities 9/10 Great song. I prefer this version to the Places you have come to fear the most version. "This bottle of beast is taking me home." The Sharp Hint of New Tears 9/10 The lyrics are amazing. I can totally relate to this song. Driving in a car, your only escape from the real world, where you have time to think and reflect and of course cry. Tonight I think I'll take the long way home. Living in Your Letters. 8.5/10 A story of a sad long distance relationship. The Swiss Army Romance. 9/10 I love this song. It's about a college girl who is so fake and superficial that underneath all of that is something much better. I'd like to see you undone. Turpentine Chaser. 7/10 I still don't understand what this song is about, but the acoustic guitar is amazing in this one. A Plain Morning. 10/10 Easily my favorite song on this album. This song is so well written and performed. The female who contributes the back-up vocals is amazing. This song is about longing, homesickness, and the desire to come home to the open arms of your loved one. A great song a soldier overseas can dedicate to his wife back home. Very sad indeed. Age Six Racer. 8/10 An okay song. I love the last section of the song where he sings "I hate the winter in Lexington." Again I go Unnoticed. 8.5/10 I prefer this version to the Places you have come to fear the most version. This song is about a girl who dismisses all romantic advances. That sucks!!! Ender will Save us All. 8/10 Second longest song on the album and it carries itself well. Shirts and Gloves. 9/10 Short but sweet song. "It seems that day keeps falling on a leap year." Great lyrics. Hold On and This is a Forgery.---These two songs should never have been added. They are completely out of place. This is a Forgery is absolutely horrid, and don't even get me started on the hidden track. WTF was that? The album starts of strong with 4 great songs, mellows out in the middle with very downbeat and depressing songs and then closes it out terribly. Overall, this album is my favorite DC album.

One of the best albums I've heard,
By Jasmine (Philadelphia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Swiss Army Romance (Audio CD)
My friend always listened to DC and she told me to check them out and i didnt have high hopes but i was completely wrong. The band plays their instruments spectacularly and Chris Carraba sings beautifully. I recommend this cd everyone.I also recommend North by Something Corporate and all other DC albums
