Dashboard Confessional Band • Page 13

Chris has some rasp now to his voice, but I don't think its a bad thing.

 

Yeah, Bend was the first song I wanted to check out, pretty good. His voice isn't working for me on some of these but we'll see

 

this is all im going to listen to all weekend

 

This is wild.

 

These are so good. So many memories being brought back with these songs. So many long drives and holidays with these albums as the soundtrack.

 

He’s so interesting. He’s talked a few times in recent years about label influence on those albums, and about how he prefers the stripped down acoustic stuff from DC. But then when he decided it was time to make another Dashboard album, he made Crooked Shadows.

 

Funnily enough, I think I'd like a stripped down CS more than the version we got.

 

That’s the one that needs a reimagining! I’ve actually grown to love that album, but it could have been more than it was.

 

is something going on with his voice? it sounds shot.

 

holy shit ok

 

yeah i need to get used to the way his voice is now on top of these old songs lol

as lovers go and carry this picture sound great though

 

good to hear Adam Duritz still on So Long, So Long

 

Dusk and Summer (the song) gets me every time. The switch from “you” to “I” is cool here. Where’s the vinyl??? :D

 

i think mark is probably my favorite dashboard album and i really enjoyed this. my favorites on the original like morning calls, bend and not break, ghost of a good thing, and several ways all translated really well

 

Heaven Here was beyond cringe. Dear lord take the key down or something, Chris.
Yikes.

 

What a cool treat for the summer. Listening all day.

 

Started with A Mark and couldn't get through it. This was a cool idea in theory, but his voice just isn't what it used to be.

 

Whoa, I just listened to Dusk and Summer yesterday for the first time in forever. This is exciting.

 

People really rag on his voice, but these are HARD songs to sing, in fairness.

 

I think it stuck out most on Hands Down (which already has a well-known acoustic version), I'm kinda used to it now that I've started Dusk. He's never exactly been pristine and he's still hitting some of the more powerful notes anyway

 

The switch from "you" to "me" in Dusk & Summer is throwing me. It's such a simple thing, but I think the way that song is on the original version of the album makes it almost uncomfortably universal and relatable in a way that this one isn't.

 

The acoustic version of “Vindicated” is worth the whole project tbh

 

I’m saving it for the drive home lol

 

Really digging all the Dusk and Summer songs in acoustic form. Damn that album means so much to me.

 

Hmmm I don’t see AMAMABAS on Apple Music.
