Containing much less raspy vocals than any previous album, Dear You had received the radio-friendly polish that the previous albums had lacked. Many fans considered this a betrayal of Jawbreaker's previously raw sound, which was the final straw after opening many shows for Nirvana.

It's true: Montreal's the Dears are fronted by a fl man who sounds exactly like Blur/Gorillaz leader Damon Albarn crooning the Smiths' songbook -- an ear-turning reversal of the usual white appropriation of African American and Jamaican styles.
It also argues convincingly that the Dears have transcended their initial status as secondhand Brit-poppers, as surely as Blur left behind those nagging Oasis comparisons.
Sonically raw but melodically rich, the Dears confront the surface contradictions in their musical identity with a defiance that's no longer just skin deep.
The Dears have been together for some time now, but they gained a great deal of attention following their performance at 2004's South By Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas, which culminated in the band appearing on a compilation CD given away with trade paper Music Week.
The Dears considered re-recording the entire thing - starting again where they had nine months before - but that would have meant the end of The Dears, having already lost two members earlier that year.
The Dears were squeezed into the already-booked studio in overnight sessions and for eight days straight, from midnight until early afternoon, The Dears mixed their record.
