davenSep 22, 2006Dashboard is a full band now. Its no longer Chris Carrabba and his acoustic guitar. While the new DC is catchier than the old one, it just isn't as good. "Places" and "Swiss Army" were more heartfelt, deep, and emotional then "A Mark". The new sound isn't bad, but DC seems too desperate to establish themselves as the next Good Charlotte.

DaveSep 18, 2003Carrabba is maturing as a musician and the instruments add more substance to the songs. Yet his lyrics remain as predictable as a cheap 80's action flick. I'm sorry Carrabba, but it's time to grow up.

GlennMAug 28, 2005If You've heard it once youve heard it all, the same layout for every song it gets a bit annoying unlike listening to bright eyes or death cab

A Mark... dramatically improves on its predecessors, thanks to a much broader array of subject matter and a newfound emphasis on full-band arrangements that strip away--or at least drown out--his penchant for whiny navel-gazing.

An exceptional album filled with passionate, intense, and highly personal songs.
