I'll admit, the last two Dashboard albums weren't the best. The albums felt too calculated; the songs felt like they worked too hard to fit each piece into a perfect puzzle, and ended up losing the middle pieces along the way. Alter the Ending really doesn't disappoint at all. I think it's worth the few extra dollars to get the double disc version, and the fact that the guys even decided to release two versions of each song shows that they care about their fans. What I like most about this album is that it's grown up; the lyrics and the music have grown up with the fans, or rather the fans have grown up with the music. We're not 21, we're older now, and while singing along to the oldies but goodies still feels good, it doesn't mean the same thing anymore because we're not in that place in life anymore. No News is Bad News, Water and Bridges, and Hell on the Throat make up my favourite part of the album; it's like singing along to Screaming Infidelities, but grown up, mature, and wiser for the years.Get more detail about Alter The Ending (Amazon MP3 Exclusive Deluxe Version).
