Chris Carrabba, the driving force behind Dashboard Confessional, presents earnestness as his calling card, uncut by even a trace of irony. When he coos to a newfound lover "this air is blessed, you share with me" on the second line of Dashboard Confessional's A MARK, A MISSION, A BRAND, A SCAR--the group's third full-length album--one can be assured he means those words with every fiber of his being.There's a certain refreshment in openness as the adroit lyricist and airbrushed face of emo presents his heart-on-sleeve narratives of tortured nights staying up till dawn pondering love over alluringly elusive acoustic folk guitar landscapes. Carrabba wonders "is there anything worth living/waiting/dying for" on "Am I Missing?" and reveals "I can fail before I ever try" on "Bend And Not Break." The revelations go on and on with unrelenting passion and almost unsettling candor, illustrating with vigor the varied struggles of being a twentysomething in the early 21st century. Dashboard Confessional has proven before to be the king of earnestness in rock and A MARK... only furthers that legacy.
