    Formulaic though the album may be, the band musters enough craft and personality to keep it afloat. The band is at its best when mixing pop melancholy with strident guitar rock.

    Despite this barrage of invective, it's strangely reassuring hearing the oft-preprogrammed Hoobastank break free from their constraints.
  3. Blender

    Album four is especially monochrome gut-check metal, so flourishes of mellow pianos or cargo-shorts funk are as welcome as a bag of Skittles in a pack of combat rations.
  4. NOW Magazine
    20
    All 11 tracks feature painfully predictable song structures and lethargic chord progressions devoid of anything resembling a hook.

    The album simply isn't as good as previous efforts, and falls rather flat throughout most of the songs. The sound is familiar, but it�39;s a mere shadow of the sound the band is capable of producing. It feels rushed and uninspired.… Expand
