I think I tried emo once; wasn't that convinced. Hotelier maybe? Not sure. Anyway this is yet another EP, the shortest yet at only four tracks, but it certainly kicks off nicely and seems to keep going with really nice ballads. I like this guy's voice; it's not too whiny and there's a certain rock husk to it. This is really good. Even the Justin Bieber (spit) cover can't detract from the quality here. All the tracks are covers of course, so whether this is a good representation of Dashboard Confessional or not I don't know, but it has certainly given me the urge to explore their music more.
