Dusk and Summer is easily my least favorite album of his, it feels too made-for-tv or made-for-radio for me, slick production, etc. I like when he has his slight edge and imperfections.
Alter the Ending, Dusk and Summer, and Twin Forks are my three favorite albums of his. Shade is his worst. #UnpopularOpinions
Interesting how Carrabba is just now hitting the 'metalcore band member' phase of his style right now.
Chris Carrabba Has Released a New Dashboard Confessional Song and It Sounds Like the Dashboard of Old | NOISEY
Sorry very late to this conversation, but I think the reason for the huge drop in sales was that Dusk was his last album on a major label. Dusk was put out by Interscope, Shade was Vagrant. Vagrant didn't do any favors with marketing, wasn't even a single out.
Spoiler alert: No it doesn't. haha, but really, this just sounds like Chris playing a Twin Forks song by himself.
I like the song. Vocal isn't great, but it's not bad. I'm sure this is the kind of song that will sound great on record.
