    ...I just figured that this album was s**t. Like, who was the doofus who decided to make their band name sound as dirty as Puddle of Mudd or Drowning Pool?

    Actually, Hoobastank is probably worse, because it's named after a comment on the nearby Hooba Street. Someone just joked around, calling it Hoobastank. And the band thought that the filthy name sounded better than their other ideas, so...wait, are they serious?

    Oh whatever.

      Editing … When I was a child my sister loved "Crawling in the Dark" and I thought I was hilarious so I'd tell her that the guy was stupid and he should just stand up and turn on a light switch. I wasn't a great comedian.

      Editing … all I know about Hoobastank is that one of their songs is in Juiced Eiliminator which is a game I enjoyed very much.

      Editing … Hey, I don't mind. Besides, Hoobastank is the best dumb name ever. I could never come up with a good band name for the life of me, so Hoobastank sounds great, man.

      Editing … That's a good point. Any band name I'd come up with I'd probably regret and find cringeworthy within the first week.

      Editing … Ah, Tangerine Speedo. I was all into Beck kitschy-style songs back in the days. So I got so hyped over Tangerine Speedo. Then I had to think about what the f**k I was listening to. Yeah, it's my go-to, whenever anyone wants to hear a song that no one f***ing remembers. Lol.

    Hoobastank might have sounded awfully similar to other 2000-era bands, but their songs were infinitely more memorable. Their debut's post-punk emo style set the bar for many bands on the west coast. Regardless of whether anyone thought they were a rip-off of someone else, I loved all the instrumentation and harmonic melodies in "Running Away." They might have looked like a one-hit wonder, but all the epic songs on this album proved that they weren't going away anytime soon.

      Editing … Yeah, their first three big singles were too good for everyone. And "The Reason" was a shocker, because I thought they would just sound like Incubus all the time.

      Editing … Maybe I would've paid more attention if they released their songs in a different era? I got a little annoyed in the early 2000s, because a lot of the rock bands sounded very similar. Hard to distinguish the Hoobastank from the regular stank.
