0.0 Your Favorite Lurker | February 23rd 16

Whenever I want to annoy my friends, I blast "The Reason" and it never fails in my attempts.

have great energy, highlights in same direction and i can still get into title after hearing it 1000000 times

"I aM nOt A pErFeCt PeRsOn" also having an Ian feature is just all kinds of cursed

1.0 awfulEasterInTheBatcave | December 4th 15

Completely boring save the title track, which I enjoy. Download that one song and forget the rest of this trite, tedious effort.

"The Reason"-- the song-- is a huge guilty pleasure for me, so I got this album. I made it through three songs, at which point I realized I was completely wasting my time. This is perfectly competent but also perfectly uninteresting radio rock. I think the title track is great, but the rest... 1.8

2.0 poorAntonius | March 23rd 14

It starts with a couple of nice and kind of aggressive songs but as it progresses it becomes uninteresting because songs are so similar with each other, lyrics are not good and the list can go on. Recommendations: "Same Direction", "What Happened To Us"

Bump

3.0 goodRedHorizon | March 20th 13

Decent album at best. The Reason is a lot less impressive and not as well crafted as Hooba's debut album.
There are some very good tracks on this album, namely the first three tracks that had huge radio-friendly
potential. Unfortunately, the super-mega-hit "The Reason", while sounding nice back in good ol' 2004, is
now just an annoying pile of ugliness that, let us just face it, ruined this band. It's a shame because
Hoobastank have a lot of potential.

3.0 goodSmashingPumpkin | July 14th 11

Time has judged it more fairly since I made my review.

3.5 greatc0nf1n3d | May 8th 11

The singles from this album are great. The rest of the album is ehh. "Disappear" though is probably Hoobastank's greatest song ever written.

Bump

2.5 averageXenorazr | March 8th 11

The Reason is a contestable improvement over Hoobastank's debut, but it still doesn't ultimately accomplish enough to make it drastically superior, per se. As before, the better moments are scarce amidst a sea of duds, but the main difference is that they aren't quite as bad.
