| | Honestly! After listening to this album, my opinion of Hoobastank went sky high. Thier first and self-titled album is great... so The Reason exceeded all of my expectations.
Vocally, and lyrically the band has improved in absolute leaps and bounds, as well as in their musical arrangements. The music overall has more depth and maturity without losing any of the bands uniqueness or rock feel.
The Reason really is a fantastic album without even one song I feel inclined to skip over based on not liking it or finding it boring. | |
