KunalMAug 2, 2006Fantastic album, dont know why its being criticized so heavily...while i agree they havent experimented in a big way, why should they do that just to prove a point to reviewers?

BrennanBJun 3, 2006I thought this was a great album. It starts painfully, with some bush/military bashing, but the following song kicks butt. If I Were You is as good a single as The Reason, and Without A Fight sounds something like Foo Fighters. Don't Tell Me kicks butt. All the other songs are solid songs too. My favorite Hoobastank album so far.

AJJun 8, 2006decent, not great... but decent - in particular lead single "If I Were You" and "If Only" - two standout moments.

MattD.May 24, 2006Being catchy doesn't automatically mean being good. Such is the case with Hoobastank.

AdamWJul 29, 2006Another generic cd from hoobastank. Their cd's keep getting softer and softer. Their faster tunes were the only thing that kept this crap bareable in the first place. Nothing creative nothing new. Just ..........

But even if Every Man for Himself was constructed with the mainstream in mind, it likely won't win any new converts, since at their core Hoobastank remains unchanged: their songs aren't particularly dynamic or catchy, the band doggedly follows alt-rock conventions as if adherence to clichés gives the group legitimacy, and Robb's pedestrian voice alternately disappears into the mix or veers flat when he holds a note.

BillboardNearly every cut shoots for maximum radio mileage, and the album's lack of stimulation makes such pandering harder to overlook. [20 May 2006]

BlenderThere's something undeniably irritating but strangely satisfying about lyrics so baldly declarative, especially over riffs this explosive. [Jun 2006, p.144]
