Jeremy Andrews said:I liked Crawling In The Dark, Running Away, Out Of Control and for a time The Reason.
The Reason was for sure Hoobastank's sell out song. Everything they have released to radio after that was pretty lame to me.
To me the album was solid but nothing special. All of the songs were average to good with nothing really striking me or that one song that blew it out of the park. I liked Same Direction, Out of Control, and a few more, but the album lacked a stand-out track.
And if you really look at it, standout songs are what make your album sell. If you have select great songs and the rest is rubbish and you release those great songs as singles--they'll buy into it. (*cough* Pussycat Dolls *cough*)
