5.0 out of 5 stars Worth The Extra Money for DVD..., November 6, 2004

I bought this CD rather blindly. I had only heard a few of Dashboard's songs... pretty impressed, I must say. Then, I saw the DVD version in the store, and it had Dashboard, covering R.E.M.'s Automatic for The People, with Michael Stipe on the DVD. Unrefuseable offer.

So I get in the car. I listened to it, stunned. It was just fantastic, and it's one of my favorite albums. There are only a few albums I can listen to the whole way through, and this is one of them.

When I got home, I watched the DVD. I was amazed yet again with how talented Carraba and the band actually were at covering another band, especially such a great one. And then, at the end, Stipe covered Hands Down, and sings with Carraba, and it's well... pretty freakin' sweet. So five stars. Most Definitely. Hands Down.

I'm not gonna drag on and on about how big a fan of Dashboard Confessional and R.E.M. I am.
But honestly, this is probably the best CD I've bought this year. It's the usual verison of the album with a beautiful removable cardboard cover around it and a bonus DVD. The DVD features the whole 40 minute MTV2 "Album Covers: R.E.M.'s Automatic For The People" show (all 8 songs with intro to endcredits) plus 2 unaired songs ("Superman", which was played over the endcredits and "Rapid Hope Loss") and interviews. DC's "Hands Down" sung by Michael Stipe is just beautiful.
Hint: There are two hidden videos you can access by clicking down-enter and down-right-enter at the bottom of the "bonus features" menu.
