Hoobastank The Rules Re-Release Date: 5/16/2006 Album Type: Enhanced Andrew Estes (5 out of 5 stars) "One thing you can't say about "Every Man For Himself" after a good, solid listen is that it is "more of the same." From the opening song, "Born To Lead," it's obvious the band has changed. Like the rest of the album, this song has a familiar Hoobastank mark on it, but yet, sounds nothing like anything they've done in the best. Perhaps this change could be attributed to all Hoobastank have gone through in the past two years. Their last album, 2003's "The Reason" took off when it's title track became the biggest crossover hit of the year, and just about every other single got plenty of room on radio. On the flipside, however, founding bassist Markku Lappalainen left the band last year, which could very well have inspired the title, "Every Man For himself."
