Dusk and Summer -- a cohesive album divergent from the modern-rock collection of songs on 2003'sA Mark, a Brand, a Mission, a Scar-- finds Dashboard Confessional's path to maturity leading them, weirdly enough, back to their roots. Whether or not this is a reaction to mainstream success, Dashboard is still very much a full band, but the album is gentler and falls much closer to the feeling ofThe Places You Have Come to Fear the Most.
