good to relax to

when i first heard the song "hands down" i fell in love with the song, and when i bought the album, i was surprised that the tracks were alot slower than its first track. i think it is good to chill to, but most of the songs are slow, so dont expect anything very "rockin". chris cabarra is a very good songwriter& the meodies are very pretty. the dvd is pretty cool too. it has the guy from rem &they do some duets. its cool to see old& new come together. overall i give this album ****

Worth The Extra Money for DVD...

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.
