Hoobastank (sometimes stylized as h∞bastank, and originally known as Hoobustank) is an American rock band formed in 1994 in Agoura Hills, California by lead vocalist Doug Robb, guitarist Dan Estrin, drummer Chris Hesse, and original bassist Markku Lappalainen. They were signed to Island Records from 2001 to 2012 and have released five albums and one extended play to date. Their sixth album, Push Pull, was released on May 25, 2018. They have sold 10 million albums worldwide. The band is best known for their singles "Crawling in the Dark", "Running Away", and "The Reason".
The Reason is the second studio album by American rock band Hoobastank, released on December 9, 2003 by Island Records. Produced by Howard Benson, it was the band's last album to feature bassist Markku Lappaleinen prior to his departure in 2005. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, The Reason peaked at number three on the US Billboard 200 and was eventually certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America; currently, it has sold over 2.3 million copies in the United States alone. #Hoobastank #TheReason #Manscaped #Rocked #RegrettingThePast #IlNeige

Or just replace their names with ________ (pronounced "blank"). For instance, that one Lady Gaga song that featured ________, though Gaga had the sense to delete that song from her discography and reissue the album without the song. Maybe Hoobablank could do the same.

[@ConvincingPeople]

@@EpicB Given that, from what I'm seeing here, the backing vocals are relatively subtle and only one of the two singers in question is the real problem here, you probably could without much of an issue. That said, I wonder if some of the members wouldn't feel like they were trying to erase history to make themselves look better by doing so? Who knows. It's a relatively small detail regardless.

I'd say every era and genre has this issue in waves, and being alive during it, you really get to experience the troughs.

While I am aware that The Reason (the song, not the album) is super simple and cliché, and is one of the barest bones ballads out there... I can't hate it. I honestly can't, something about the song touches a very emotional core inside of me, and it does it consistently. Wrenches the heart, transports me to a different place, and may open the tear ducts. Even as a adult who's aware of how generic and pandering the lyrics and song structure is, it gets me every time.

My creative writing teacher in high school said he knew Hoobastank's original bassist, and he said the name was slang for "Whose butt stinks?" I don't know if it's true, but it would be fitting.

It instantly reminded me of the kind of garbage they would play on AC stations, and because of that, I instantly knew it would be a hit. I don't think I've ever had a prediction go more right, but man, I wish I was wrong. It's one of the hackiest, sappiest songs ever, and the general conceit doesn't make sense. "I found a reason for me to change who I used to be?" What, did you find a time machine? You can change who you are now, but you can't change who you were in the past. That's impossible.

[@SirJoelsuf1]

The Reason actually hit pretty close to home since I did a girl wrong and I thought about her a lot when the song was popular. And yeah I understand why talking about the guest signer on Out of Control is not allowed in this comment section...good move. I still think Crawling in the Dark holds up tho. It's too bad they decided to phone things in like every other band that was good in the mid 00s.

[@rubywest5166]

What's sad is that I've never heard of Out Of Control, and yet when you talked about how awful their collaborator was... I knew pretty quickly who it was. That's how awful he is.

[@MrBrandonplaysdrums]

Fun fact: the same production team that did Theory Of A Deadman’s Scars And Souvenirs did this album as well. It’s a shame, considering Howard Benson is a very talented producer and Chris Lord-Alge has mixed some of the best music out there.

[@christopherregan1654]

Those two have produced and mixed albums for pretty much everyone under the sun. Off the top of my head, they did albums for bands and performers like Three Days Grace, Seether, Depswa, Cold, Daughtry, Skillet, We As Human, Red, Kelly Clarkson, Orianthi, All That Remains, In Flames, Hoobastank, Theory Of A Deadman, and Papa Roach.

To be honest, I actually kinda like Hoobastank. Ironically, "The Reason" was my least favorite of the album. I like their more faster songs like "Same Direction", "Out of Control" and "Escape."

[@benhemsworth8555]

Matthew Cool Same Direction I like too.

[@Re-Todd_Howard]

Matthew Cool I liked there first album when I was younger. I don’t think this band is any worse than Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin. It inhabits that meh part of my brain. It’s nowhere near as bad as Imagine Dragons in my opinion.

[@mattc2306]

@@Re-Todd_Howard I actually like 3DG and Breaking Benjamin. Maybe it's just me, but a lot of these angsty 2000's rock banda were a huge part of my adolescence, particularly when I started my high school years getting into anime and hearing Skillet's "Monster" and Breaking Benjamin's "The Diary of Jane" on AMVs. And looking back, while they aren't the deepest stuff out there, I can't help but jam along to songs like this.

[@Re-Todd_Howard]

Matthew Cool I think people unfairly judge early 00s bands. Those bands sounded a lot better than what’s on the radio today. Diary of Jane was a great song btw.

I'm serious when I say I've never heard of these guys, or their songs. I'm not kidding. I guess I can count myself lucky?

[@Aaron_Berry]

Hoobastank's first track on their "They Sure Don't Make Basketball Shorts Like They Used To" album from 1998 involves a man in the intro of the song saying "That is the name of the band folks, Hoobastank, get over it, I did". That pretty much just shows that Hoobastank are in on the joke as much as everybody else.

[@soulexchangemusic]

why do I have a feeling "Daredevil: the album" is going to be A RTP album sometime down the road. it is like the final boss of all the rock/Nu-metal covered on RTP, but saliva and Hoobastank were even on the soundtrack, and i think Luke will need all the lives he can stock up and yes I know there are SOME good songs on there, like the evanescence ones.

[@viscountrainbows6452]

Movie soundtracks were simultaneously the best and worst during Nu-Metal's first reign.

[@soulexchangemusic]

@tc 2452 i feel like daredevil soundtrack was kinda A. the start of it all B. the root of why everyone hates nu Metal and music soundtracks (it is also a regret album of mine, one of the few no christian albums it was okay from me to listen to growing up)

[@mattc2306]

@tc 2452 I actually didn't mind the Daredevil soundtrack. I mean, I actually kinda liked "Won't Back Down" even if it is a pretty basic post-grunge song.

[@slevingarganera8375]

@tc 2542 not to mention that the band with “that” vocalist mentioned in Out Of Control is in the Spider-Man 2 Soundtrack.

[@slevingarganera8375]

@tc 2452 Vindicated, Gifts and Curses, and Who I Am were pretty good though.

[@cassandraspoelhof3752]

I like the song “The Reason” by Hoobastank. It’s their only song I know, but I really like it.

[@RanterInShades]

Hoobastank made a not good first impression on me as a kid. When I was in elementary school, I used to set my alarm to our adult contemporary station and they would play the acoustic version of The Reason a lot. I hated hearing it and thought it was boring and sappy, but I had no idea there was a version with a full band because the acoustic version was that grating to me. Now that I think about it, that song is probably the reason (heh) I don’t really like acoustic songs a whole lot. So thanks for that, Hoopla-stank, I guess.

[@grim1683]

Great review like always

[@lorddoritus6373]

I distinctly remember hearing the title track constantly on the radio when I was much younger. It started fading away from the radio by the time newer pop songs started charting. Oh well, at least I'll never have to hear that song again.

[@andresmason1551]

The reason and disappear are the best in my perspective. “The Reason” has a special place in my music library; I don’t know why, but it does. However, they have some really great tracks under their belt. -A Thousand Words -All About You -Can You Save Me -I Don’t Think That I Love You -This Is Gonna Hurt -Incomplete -Magnolia -No Destination -No Win Situation -pieces -To Be With You -If Only -Remember Me -Running away -Sing What You Can’t Say -Slow Down -So Close, So Far -The Fallen -The Letter -You Before Me You Need To Be Here -Stay With Me -Is This The Day? -Don’t Look Away -Karma Patrol -Can I Buy You A Drink

[@theillusionologist8311]

You know what's kinda bad, I have albums like this in my basement, because I started building my CD collection this year, and it primarily consists of CDs from thrift stores. After listening to some of these, I now realize why people got rid of them in the first place. One such CD is "Them vs. You vs. Me" by Finger Eleven. I don't want to talk about that album.

[@04beni04]

Oh wow, I found the other person who got that? Cool. I always knew it would happen some day. 😁 In my defense, I did get it secondhand, so it's not like the band made any money from me, lol.

[@mitchnin10dofan]

I honestly can’t bring myself to hate The Reason because it’s just one of those childhood songs that I have a soft spot for. But I will say that I prefer Hoobastank’s earlier sound, heck it reminds me a bit of Incubus.

I actually don't know a whole lot of Hoobastank's music, only songs that my oldest child used to cover like 8, 9, 10 years ago. I actually had to look up the song, and who guested on it to find out what they did. I applaud you for not naming them or talking about what they did.

[@marlopointer2708]

I don't blame for not wanting to mentioning that name

[@hikikimorimasqueerade8743]

Douglas Robb from Hoobastunk did the vocals for the main theme of Sonic Forces (Fist Bump) back in 2017 and the vocals were undeniably the worst part of the song (not helped by the fact that the official sonic KZbin channel posted part of the instrumental before posting part of the song with the vocals) When Sega decides to bring in outside bands to help with the soundtrack to Sonic games they can bring in some interesting bands and vocalists from time to time which even led me to discover one of my favourite rock bands (Zebrahead) but I never chased down what came from hoobastank due to the weird vocals on Fist Bump!
