Hoobastank - If I Were You (4/5)

A strange introduction to the new Hoobastank song, almost like a bed time song for a baby with childrens voices in the background. This drops and a much more refined voice than through the last album can be heard. Remaining calm and in perfect keeping with the tune. Only a minute in and you're already relaxed and feeling calm inside, even when after 2 miuntes the beat picks up the voice remains calm enough to lull you away from the world.

Quite a spiky guitar beats kicks in and makes the song about as heavy as Hoobastank ever get. It's nice to see them sticking to what they are reasonably good at.

Although never a huge Hoobastank fan this is a nice track that is by no means a number 1 but definitley a song which will be played a few times during stressful points i feel.

4/5
