[2004년 그래미 3개부문 노미네이트, 빌보드 모던록 차트 1위, 'The Reason'으로 국내에서도

라디오 방송 최다 리퀘스트를 차지했던 최고의 포스트 그런지 록밴드 Hoobastank의

3집 [Every Man For Himself]! 밴드에게 세계적인 성공을 가져다 준 2집 [The Reason]의

프로듀서 하워드벤슨 (Howard Benson)이 참여, 감성적인 록발라드 트랙과 강렬하고

록킹한 트랙들이 조화롭게 어우러져 또 하나의 웰메이드 앨범의 탄생.
영원한 록의 명곡으로 기록될 'The Reason'의 계보를 잇는 첫 싱글 'If I Were You'는

고감도의 멜로디와 함께 아름다운 가사로 국내 팬들에게 가장 어필할 것으로 예상되며,

긴장감있게 전개되는 리듬 파트와 폭발할 듯한 사운드로 두번째 싱글로 점지되고 있는

'Born To Lead', 매력적인 훅이 귀를 사로잡는 'The First Of Me', 'Don’t Tell Me' 등이 수록!]

 

후바스탱크의 통산 3번째 작품으로 전작 [The Reason]  이후, 2년만에 발표되는 작품이면서

멤버였던 베이스 연주자 마크 탈퇴 후, 최초의 작품이 되겠다
전 작에서 크게 벗어나지 않는 사운드가 담겨있지만 트랙별 멜로디 라인은
본 작이 훨씬 낫다. 첫번째 싱글곡으로 히트를 기록했던 "If I Were You"도 좋지만

후바스탱크의 모든 곡을 통틀어 가장 사랑해 마지않는 "The First Of Me"가 들어있어

개인적으로는 본 작을 그들의 최고작으로 뽑겠다.

 

 

 

If I Were You

 

You seem to find the dark when everything is bright
 You look for all thats wrong instead of all thats right
 Does it feel good to you to rain on my parade
 You never say a word unless its to complain
 Its driving me insane

 

 If i were you
 Holding the world right in my hands
 The first thing I'd do
 Is thank the stars for all that i have
 If i were you

 

 Look what surrounds you now
 More than you ever dreamed
 Have you forgotten just how hard it used to be
 So whats it going to take
 For you to realize
 It all could go away in one blink of an eye
 It happens all the time

 

 If i were you
 Holding the world right in my hands
 The first thing I'd do
 Is thank the stars above
 Tell the ones I love that i do
 If i were you

 

 So whats it going to take
 For you to realize
 It all could go away in one blink of an eye
 It happens all the time

 If i were you

 Holding the world right in my hands
 The first thing I'd do
 Is thank the stars above
 For the ones I love
 Take a breath and enjoy the view
 Live the life that I've wanted to
 If i were you

 

 

The First Of Me

 

 

I must make a choice
 A tough decision
 Listen to my voice
 Should I give in
 To temptation, admiration
 One leads to myself
 The other some one else
 Just an empty shell
 Just an empty shell

 

 It's harder than it seems
 When you're told that
 All your hopes and dreams
 Are yours to hold if
 You just give them
 What's expected
 Something they can sell
 Put upon a shelf
 But I am not for sale
 I am not for sale

 I hear a voice inside
 It's grown into a scream
 I'm not the next of them
 I am the first of me
 'cause I can't live the lie
 I am just what you see
 I'm not the next of them
 I am the first of me

 

 If I can't refuse
 The price they offer
 I am sure to lose
 And I will suffer
 Sell my soul to make a profit
 All I have to do
 Is make believe it's true
 That something I can't do
 That something I can't do

 

 I hear a voice inside
 It's grown into a scream
 I'm not the next of them
 I am the first of me

 'cause I can't live the lie
 I am just what you see
 I'm not the next of them
 I am the first of me

 So when the waiting's done
 It's time to face the truth
 You know you're good enough
 Deep down inside of you

 

 You've finally woken up
 If only just to prove
 You were born to lead the way
 And be the first of you
