Dusk and Summer by Dashboard Confessional

Get your tissues out — it's time for another Dashboard Confessional album. And while it's no Screaming Infidelities, it's definitely got a spot in our "too tender for listening with the boys" playlist. Dusk and Summer ($9) took Chris Carrabba three years to create, and we're happy to report it's less whiney acoustic emo and more mature rock thanks to U2 producer Daniel Lanois. Standout tracks: "Don't Wait" and "Reason to Believe."
