I love it!!

This CD is amazing. Chris is just an awesome lyricist, and his sound is great. The guitar blows me away because I love acoustic, and his voice goes great with it. A lot of people can really relate to his music because it is so from the heart. Every day i hafta listen, its great stuff!

My definition of Emo

I've never been so blown away by one CD. After a messy breakup with my ex, Emo I found to be like soothing cup of hot chocolate. Although the first few listens I had myself thinking, 'what's so great about this?' But after I listened a few more times, and read over the lyrics, I had tears in my eyes... The feel this music gives me is addictive. Every day I have to have my 'Dashboard fix' or I go insane.. Dashboard has unbelieveably relateable lyrics. 'Again I go Unnoticed' is my all time favorite song by DC.. It descibes a couple's relationship as they grow apart, stop talking, and of course the singer's hurt and pain caused by this. On 'Living in your Letters', he pours on over how much he cares for his ex girl. My favorite line (the last line) from that song is, 'Turning to you is like falling in love when you're ten..'. I feel every word he says. Although this is DC's best CD ever, I still strongly recommend you buy every one by him. All are amazing. If you love an acoustic, sad, 'cry yourself to sleep' sound, DC is for you. 'The Places..' is an exceptional CD. The MTV Unplugged CD may annoy you since several tracks have the crowd singing along..They don't bother me but I bought it to see the DVD anyway. I am an enormous DC fan. Some poeple don't appreciate DC because he's too soft, or too sulky. But the emotion he pours out is just as strong if not stronger than that on albums by other Emo bands with a harder sound.. Shouldn't Emo be music full of emotion that you feel, that makes you cry it's so strong? Dashboard is my definition of Emo, and if you can appreciate a softer sound, he won't disappoint you.

wow

To begin with, Chris has an amazing voice just dripping with emotion... he knows how to make music and make it how it should be... if you can relate to this album, you'll love it, if you don't you'll hate it... simple as that... the vocals, lyrics, and acoustic guitar perfectly describes the pain and sadness that often comes with being in love, especially an imperfect one, and basically dealing with life... this album is truly sincere and not something to ignore... its raw and pure... definitely not something put together in a studio for the sake of radio... Chris is incredibly talented and this album is proof of that
