Hoobastank (typecast as H∞bastank) is the first major studio release by American rock band Hoobastank. The album proved to be the band's breakthrough album. The album also proved to be the band's first album to use a post-grunge sound rather than a funk metal and ska punk sound that was use in their first independent album and their previous independent releases. Although, the album is mostly largely filled with a post-grunge and alternative rock sound, this is their only album to have nu metal influences. The three singles from the album contains no nu metal influenced at all but some songs do and although most of the album has no rapping, the only song that contains pure rapping is the song Pieces while a few others have rap-like vocals. It was released on November 20, 2001 by Island Records. Three singles were released, "Crawling in the Dark", "Running Away", and "Remember Me". It has since been certified Platinum in the United States.
