Dashboard Confessional
The Places You Have Come to
Fear the Most
Vagrant Records
Dashboard Confessional may be the first musi
cal artist to have an “emofolk" style of music,
which is nothing short of infectious.
With its second full-length album The
Places You Have Come to Fear the Most,
released in March 2001, Chris Carrabba has
created 10 tracks that are honest, revealing
anger, sadness, hope and love. This album
undoubtedly justifies Carrabba’s capability to
take the solo route.
Dashboard Confessional’s music allows
fans to take his words personally and incorpo
rate them to their own life. A lot of what
Carrabba sings about is love or the lack thereof,
which is something most people can relate to in
one way or another.
Lyrics such as “As for now I’m gonna hear
the saddest songs and sit alone and wonder
how you’re making out. But as for me I wish
that I was anywhere with anyone making
out,” from his song “Screaming Infidelities”
reveal sincerity in the words he sings.
With his haunting lyrics that carry deep
meaning, it is a refreshing change of pace
from the bubble gum pop music heard
>m the Dubble gum
ww
often on the radio.
If you have been fortu
nate enough to see
Dashboard Confessional
perform live, it may be
easier to understand the
emotion behind the CD.
Carrabba is able to get the
crow d singing his lyrics w ith a passion as if
were telling a story from their own life,
charisma behind this man cannot be ignored
With the CD’s title track “The Places
Have Come to Fear the Most,” the strait
Carrabba’s voice is a sound that is able to ci
a chill to the very core of the listener’s sou!
the album’s most up-beat song, “Again I
Unnoticed.” Carrabba exhibits the rawnev
his guitar and the emotions w hich are evidei
every note and word. Listeners will not be
to help but sing aloud w ith the entire CD
Although Carrabba has several stri
dow n acoustic numbers on this album, he
also managed to incorporate some bass
drums to add just enough flavor to
songs needing it.
The album holds a punk edge that is
dent in his vocals, his raw aggression and
passion. The emotion in his music isencc
to draws listeners in and leave them war;
more. (Grade A+) —LyciaSki

friends and fellow musicians on
stage with him to contribute
their musical talents to the band.
“One misconception about
Dashboard Confessional is that it
never was just me,” Carrabba
said. “It was always me and the
crowd and me and my friends that
were on stage with me. As far as
I’m concerned, it is a band and
I’ve been saying that for months
and months but it doesn't seem
like anybody wants to hear it.”
The name Dashboard
Confessional started off to
detach Carrabba from being sin
gularly identifiable as Dashboard
Confessional. Carrabba said by
not using his name to identify
the band, he feels he is not
excluding his fans from being a
part of the band.
*i love the fact that the kids
feel like a part of (the band) and
they are,” Carrabba said. "I mean
they are a part of the band — as
much a part of it as I am.”
Carrabba said aside from the
press and fans, touring has been
a key factor helping Dashboard
Confessional’s rise in popularity.
“[Touring] is the real deal.”
Carrabba said. “The press in the
magazines and on the radio has
only happened within the past
month, but I’ve sold nearly
100,000 records. That doesn’t
