We Say...
This album inspired a thousand sing-alongs. With The Swiss Army Romance, Dashboard's lead songwriter, Chris Carrabba, drafted the heart-on-sleeve acoustic punk for which he would become cultishly adored — and with this emo classic, he perfected it. Places' greatest virtue is its almost rapturous embrace of the torturous woe that follows our most profound romantic failures. And legions of teens understood, chiming in en masse when Carrabba played these songs live. Places... benefits from Dashboard's leap to indie-punk powerhouse Vagrant, which finally allowed enough of a recording budget to afford a rhythm section, but it was bare, essential ruminations like "The Best Deceptions" that roped fans well before Carrabba's appearance in automobile ads would test their devotion. Still, when a polished-up version of "Screaming Infidelities" (originally from Swiss Army Romance) crashed the modern-rock charts, it was an encouraging sign that Carrabba's career might actually outlast his pain.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
