  1. It's hard to find a track that won't get fists pumping or cigarette lighters waving.
  2. Hoobastank balances heavy riffs with dark existentialism and hooks that closely imitate that of its breakthrough hit.

I honestly think this is one of their best, i would go great I didn't get it, why there are so many bad reviews about this album. I honestly think this is one of their best, i would go great lengths to say this is the best yet.

It's hard enough on them that the album was leaked on the WWW before on sale in the stores, these reviews did nothing but encourage buyers away from this stores. well, people said they sound the same. But the first two also sounded the same. Common if you listen to a very popular rock band song (even without the vocals) you realise it's by so and so. That proves they also sound the same then why they are very popular. That's just because the media..Hard luck Hoobastank. Full Review »
