Artist: 
Dashboard Confessional
Star Rating: 
★★★
Dashboard Confessional’s Chris Carraba writes about three things: girls who love him, girls who used to love him, and girls he’s trying to persuade to love him. If that sounds like a narrow palette, it is, but at least he tries to make the most of it. Strong guitar lines snake through “Hands Down,” while “So Beautiful” finds Carraba strumming his pain like the Cure fan he undoubtedly was. Just keep in mind, guys, it’s only a fling. He doesn’t really love you. Not like we do.
