Every Man for Himself by Hoobastank
Every Man for Himself is an album by Hoobastank, released in 2006. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Born to Lead”, on 1 list with a best position of #67.
Every Man for Himself, Hoobastank's third album, came out on Island on May 8, 2006, the follow-up to The Reason, whose title track is still the song they're known for. It's the first without founding bassist Markku Lappalainen, who left in 2005, so Jane's Addiction's Chris Chaney and Paul Bushnell handled the low end, with Howard Benson producing.
The Agoura Hills band's core trio, singer Doug Robb, guitarist Dan Estrin and drummer Chris Hesse, stick to what they know: big, clean post-grunge guitars, earnest choruses and Robb pushing his voice to the rafters. Benson gives it a heavy, glossy sheen built for rock radio, and "Born to Lead", "If I Were You" and "Inside of You" all found their way onto the countdowns. It's tight and professional, even if it rarely surprises.
