iTunes Review

Alter the Ending finds emo king Chris Carrabba raising the bar on his band’s sixth studio album. Where 2007’s Shade of Former Trees resonated with beautifully stark moments and exquisite desolation, this album reflects more of the light found at the end of the tunnel. “Get Me Right” opens with a stripped-down verse as a lone guitar accompanies Carrabba’s shaky vocals while the chorus unfolds dynamically with upbeat rhythms, winding guitars and layered singing that all ascend into hopeful tones. Proggy keyboards help “Until Morning” begin like a Rush number before the song quickly morphs into a triumphant, feel-good hit waiting to happen. The anthemic “Belle of the Boulevard” plays so sanguinely that you have to wonder who exactly is the muse changing Carrabba’s life and music? Fans of the band’s 2002 Unplugged performance are in for quite a treat as the Deluxe Edition boasts 13 extra songs – acoustic takes of the tunes that comprise Alter the Ending plus bonus track “Truth of the Matter,” a woeful serenade with low rumbling rhythms, lilting piano and subtle swells of guitar feedback.

Customer Reviews

Really good, but not SAR

This is a great new album from DC. The harder style and different vocal style is very good and works well for DC...but it will never be as good as the Swiss Army Romance, never.

Alter the Ending Review

I loooove this album so far! I would definately say that DC has progressed and changed their sound for a wider audience. If DC's goal is to get a bigger audience, then they most definately have potential! "Belle of the Boulevard" could instantly be a hit for cable tv while "Until Morning" could attract the teen pop/rock demographic. Chris's music has matured into a more complex sound while keeping to his roots of poetic lyrics and guitar picking such as in "Get Me Right". Some fans would be disappointed about the "overproduction" of the album but they need not to worry! The deluxe edition is solely acoustic which will do some justice!

GREAT!

I've loved Dashboard since the beginning. They never disappoint!!!

Singer/songwriter Christopher Carrabba became the poster boy for a new generation of emo fans in the early 2000s, having left behind his former band (the post-hardcore Christian outfit Further Seems Forever) to concentrate on vulnerable, introspective solo musings. Armed with an acoustic guitar and soul-baring song lyrics, he christened his new project Dashboard Confessional — named after a lyric in "The Sharp Hint of New Tears" — and began releasing material in 2000. By 2001's The Place...
