awesome music !!!!!

First of all hoobastank is one of my favorite bands, and I had heard some of the songs on this cd before I got it, and I expected it to be great, but not this great. Every song on this cd is really good and energetic. Here is how I rate the songs: CRAWLING IN THE DARK 10/10 REMEMBER ME 9/10 RUNNING AWAY 9/10 PIECES 10/10 LET YOU KNOW 7/10 BETTER 8/10 READY FOR YOU 8/10 UP AND GONE 8/10 TOO LITTLE TOO LATE 7/10 HELLO AGAIN 8/10 TO BE WITH YOU 7/10 GIVE IT BACK 9/10

Better than the sequal

This debut album was great, better infact then 'The Reason' the newest album released by this young band. I am glad I purchased this album for this is the Hoobastank which is enjoyable to listen to and not a hinderance on one's ears. I liked every song and in this album the lyrics were not recycled.

It was a shame the band could not build on this album, they had the foundations set in stone and yet somehow they messed it up. The songs Remember Me, Pieces, Ready for You and To Be with You are the pick of the CD. Overall and definitely the debut album was 100% better than The Reason.

I Used To Like Them...

Dang, this sucks as much as "The Reason". All that Hoobastank try to do is pretend they're Incubus and add some generic nu metal sounds to their music. This is what I call a "hack talent artist", and there are many of those artists in this world. Hoobastank offers nothing new here. "Crawling In The Dark" might as well be called a ripoff of Incubus' "Pardon Me", but with a faster pace. "Running Away" is the kind of song that would have gotten the band signed to Wind-up records, the home of many Creed wannabes. "Remember Me" is just another carbon copy of "Crawling In The Dark". "Pieces" isn't that great either. I don't recommend this. Hoobastank has no original material to their music. I recommend you buy Incubus' "S.C.I.E.N.C.E.", as this is the album Hoobastank steals from.
