Hoobastank

It's the only semi-decent song* on the album, the rest of it is just crap.




*probably because it's more alternative-sounding and therefore... (gasp)... different than their usual stuff

EDIT: misplaced asterisk
 
my band has a song called the reason that's a lot better. we wrote ours first, too. 😉

the thing that i really hate about hoobastank's reason is you can clearly hear the Antares Auto-Tune they put on the vocals in a pitiful attempt to make the singer sound on-key. hoobastank are a product of production, and talent > production.

Yeah. Totally. I have no clue what the hell that is but that's what I listen for in a song.

you know that vocal sound they use in electronica sometimes where it makes them sound kinda computerized? this is the same thing, only slightly less obvious. basically it corrects pitch in singers who can't sing on pitch. if a singer is pretty much accurate, you can't hear it working, and it just helps to fix a note or two where they got a little off. but when a singer is really bad, Auto-Tune has to work overtime, and you can hear it clearly. probably 90% of the vocals in modern mainstream music gets run through Auto-Tune these days, which is ok, but when it gets obtrusive, it's distracting and takes away from the music.

but hey, if you don't mind listening to a computer program desperately trying to fix no-talent hacks, be my guest.
 
I like the song and the video, but it's way too overplayed. However, it's better than hearing "Clocks" and "Hey Ya" constantly.
 
kinda overplayed. not even kinda. way overplayed.

video is ok, not super original or anything.

(thanks launch.com)
