Chris Carrabba had already bet everything on Dashboard Confessional by the time The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most came out on Vagrant Records in 2001: he'd walked out of Further Seems Forever to make it. What began as his acoustic side project in Boca Raton had won over punk crowds who weren't used to hearing an unplugged guitar, and The Swiss Army Romance had sold faster than little Fiddler Records could press it. Amy Fleisher, who ran that label, later went to work at Vagrant and pestered her new boss, Rich Egan, until he gave it a listen.
James Paul Wisner produced this second album, and it's still essentially Carrabba alone with his confessions: strummed guitar, the odd piano, a voice that cracks right where it hurts. It's emo stripped to the bone, with songs like "Saints and Sailors" and "The Best Deceptions" built to be sung back at him. The So Impossible EP came next.
