Of all the downtrodden intellectuals turning skate-punk into emo, Dashboard Confessional's Christopher Carrabbas is by far the most bruised. With just an acoustic guitar and some choice words, the Ben Folds sound-alike turns the concept of the love song on its head with The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most's torrent of poetic abuse aimed at girls who've taken advantage of his good nature. From "Saints and Sailors" ("This apartment is starving for an argument/ Anything at all to break the silence") to "The Good Fight" ("I claimed you as my only hope and watched the floor as you retreated") to "Screaming Infidelities" ("So kiss me hard because this will be the last time I let you"), Carrabbas is unapologetically bitter. Yet while his love life may be a tragic mess, the pure cathartic joy he derives from putting the ladies in question back in their place--evident from his venomous acoustic attacks--is unmistakable, infectious, and fantastically liberating. Wallowing in self-pity has seldom been so much fun. --Dan Gennoe

By	olivia (Philly, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This is probably the best punk/emo cd this year!~ I love this cd!! It's so awesome!!~~!!!~~ All the songs on it are love songs.
It's way better then like Eminem, Nelly or someother retarted rap cd that has no point whatsoever!!~~ I really think u should buy Dashboard Confessinal you would be doing yourself a favor instead of sitting on ur butt all day watching tv or listening 2 rap !~
The first time I heard Dashboard Confessinal was in the beging of the summer on mtv unplugged and that's when I fell in love with them!!!!~~~
