Dashboard Confessional - The Shade of Poison Trees (2007) torrent

So here we are with the acoustic Dashboard record that everyone seemed to be asking for. Does it live up to expectations or are people losing interest in the person who brought the word ‘Emo’ into the mainstream? One thing is for sure, this record does what it set out to do, whether you are a fan or not.

I was really close to brushing this album off because it wasn’t grabbing my attention like I was expecting, or thought it would. After listening causally a couple times on different days I kept thinking that Chris had changed and forgot what Dashboard Confessional was all about. Halfway though “Where There’s Gold” it finally hit me that I was the one who had forgotten what Dashboard had been. I then began to see the record in a new way, and loved what I saw.

The Album is all acoustic with addition of accompanying drums. Piano along with some other instruments do make appearances but they are brief and simply support of the acoustic feel.

“Little Bombs” really feels like a throw back to older Dashboard. The strong, distinct strumming along with with Chris’ powerful voice make this song feel as “classic” as anything. “Matters of Blood and Connection” also feels like a throw back musically. The lyrics stood out to me at first as they felt a bit odd. When looking back though they are not new for the band and fall in line with other songs that call out certain people for events or things that didn’t sit well with the witty lyricist.

“Clean Breaks” and “The Shade of Poison Trees” are both lush in their sound and are able to capture your imagination with the music. It seems as if most songs carry something familiar with them whether it’s the fast strumming in “Keep Watch For The Mines”, the palm muting in “These Bones” or the many other little things that are hidden throughout.

There really should be something for everyone on “The Shade of Poison Trees”, some people just might need to look harder than others. This is a wonderful record and it may take a few spins to come around but I think most people will. This album deserves a chance to be heard and appreciated.
