 Distorted guitars that aim to be 'bad but not too much,' catchy riffs, choruses that worm into your head.

 Towards the end, there's a touch of variety with the beautiful ballad 'To Be With You,' slow, romantic, atmospheric, without being whiny.

Hoobastank's self-titled 2001 debut album offers a blend of rock, pop, and Nu-Metal with catchy, radio-friendly songs. The first half stands out with variety and strong tracks like 'Crawling In The Dark' and 'Running Away.' However, the album loses inspiration in the second half and suffers from repetitive songs. Despite its flaws, it remains a decent listen, especially for fans of the genre. Listen to Hoobastank's debut to explore early 2000s rock with catchy riffs and surprises beyond their hit ballad!
