Review

Rolling Stone (p.78) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "THE SHADE OF POISON TREES easily demonstrates Carrabba's gifts for writing elegant melodies and plucking teenage heartstrings."
Spin (p.121) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[With] more intimate arrangements. Sure, there's hurt everywhere, but Carrabba sticks with the pain he knows."
Uncut (p.89) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "This fifth set strips back the gloss and points to some sort of redemption....On 'Thick As Thieves', he proves he can do celebratory..."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.46) - "[H]is lyrics maintain their poetry here....The melodies are strong, the songs sharply crafted and their instant appeal shows where Carrabba's heart lies."

Title Note

Dashboard Confessional: Scott Schoenbeck, John Lefler, Christopher Carrabba, Mike Marsh.

Issued in the fall of 2007, THE SHADE OF POISON TREES has an appropriately autumnal, organic sound that stands in considerable contrast to Dashboard Confessional's brighter, poppier DUSK AND SUMMER. Reuniting with one of the earlier album's co-producers, Don Gilmore, Confessional frontman Chris Carrabba revisits his spare, acoustic emo aesthetic, as evinced by the desperate "Thick as Thieves" and the wounded "Little Bombs," both of which highlight the Floridian performer's expressive voice, sensitive lyrics, and lively six-string playing. Although POISON TREES may not top revered DC outings such as A MARK, A MISSION, A BRAND, A SCAR, it's an assured and engaging return to form.
