Is Dallas Green the new Chris Carraba? With a fanbase as ferociously worshipping the Alexisonfire man as people did when Dashboard Confessional shot to prominence, his City and Colour alter ego is really beginning to get some high level worshipping. UK dates are selling out in double quick time and fans are salivating over this record. Infact the amount of fan-boy drool is quite incredible; reading a few blogs of reviews for this record made it sound like the second coming.
It’s not. Just incase you were expecting Christ to come back in CD form.
It is a decent record mind. It’s passionate and emotive and Dallas’ distinctive vocals make this sound like when he sings, he means it. And it’s that kind of honest edge which probably attracts so many positive comments. A slight change in style from his last album arguably improves things as ‘Sensible Heart’ and ‘Confessions’ are ertswhile, honest songs that arguably strike a chord with the listener. For me this isn’t quite consistent enough to be a great record, but it’s still pretty good nonetheless.
