Feb 26, 2018This is Dashboard Confessional in 2018: still as charming, still as cathartic and ultimately every bit the record you want it to be.
-
Feb 9, 2018All in all, Crooked Shadows is where new and old Dashboard meet amicably. It is the most revitalising DC album to date.

Feb 15, 2018Perhaps Carrabba still writes lyrics in broad terms, but this willingness to sculpt his sounds on the softer side indicates that he's discovered a way to sustain this allegedly adolescent music well into his adulthood.
-
Feb 9, 2018This album is Carrabba's rather reasonable pop petition to be dealt back into a game he started.
