Dashboard Confessional - The Swiss Army RomanceThe thing is, I've like Dashboard for quite some time. And not to mention that I liked them before they were even near popular. That's just about it. That's all I have to say. I also think that maybe I like Dashboard because he sings about being a huge loser with no love, and that just so happens to be me. I don't know. I also like his lyrics. He is a phenominal lyricist. I really think so. I love Dashboard, and I am fortunate enough to have seen him in concert three times this year. Great stuff. I really liked it. Especially when I saw him in Cincinnati. Great stuff. I like his music. He uses all kinds of open tunings. And he sings about not having love. This applies to people who have either a.) never had love, or b.) had love and then lost it. So that's why it covers everyone in the world. Except all those lucky bastards people out there are in love and will be the rest of their life. I hate those kind of people. Dashboard Confessional does too, because those kind of people won't buy Dashboard albums. That's just how it goes. But everyone else is cool. Especially the ones who don't have a girlfriend.

Stand out tracks: Screaming Infidelities, The Sharp Hint of New Tears, Living In Your Letters, The Swiss Army Romance, Turpentine Chaser, A Plain Morning, Age Six Racer, Again I Go Unnoticed, Ender Will Save Us All, Shirts and Gloves.

Two things. The first: the reason I said people were the coolest when they didn't have girlfriends was because I wanted to make myself cool. The second: I like everything from Dashboard, I really do. I love it actually. I have a really hard time deciding which album I liked best, but I went with this one. I almost even went with the So Impossible EP, just because it has my two favorite songs of his, which are For You To Notice and Hands Down. That's all.
