Appearance
too safe
I have really enjoyed Lifehouse over the past couple of years and have never owned any of their stuff. I wanted a good summer listen, so I bought this cd. The songs were just okay, but only few were slighly catchy, the rest being very mellow and too safe. I really expected better of them. Overall, just 2 stars.On the optomistic route, though, his voice was nice and the songs were sweet.
Meaningful and Unique
Not only is "No Name Face" Lifehouse's best album, it's also one of the best albums I've ever heard. It's almost impossible to compare anything to it; it's just in a league of its own. That said, "Who We Are" does do its best to catch up to its excellent predecessor.There's not one track on this album that I dislike. The argued-over "The Joke" is the strongest, most original song on here, and the most musically interesting track I've heard in a while. It's fusion of a rock chorus and jazz-like verses give it an exotic feel, and its lyrics are, at the same time, heart-breaking and angering. They took a gamble with this song, and it pays off.The ballads, which I've missed in the last two CDs, are strong and meaningful, especially with Wade's gorgeous, "The Storm." While many others say that the last songs on the cd seem to be indistinguishable, I think they're unique and catchy in their own way, and very lyrically different. Wade's songwriting skills never cease to amaze me.
Solid continution and evolution for Lifehouse, good all the way through.
Unfortunate that the stations in my area have just recently started to play "first time" on the air, I almost would have missed the release of this album. But I got it, and the Gang does it again, very solid rock album. Classic Lifehouse, Reminisant of Stanley Climbfall, which I feal was underated by many, and expanding upon the last album, hope to here a few more singles off of this album, not just one, You and Me overpowered the last album with it's popularity, and unfortunately curbed any other song release off of that album, no real airplay here. But I have a feelign this album will expand the group even more. Must get for Life house fans, and a great album for any collection
LifeHouse has done it again!
I love this band! Jason Wade has an amazing voice --- very distinctive in a sea of soundalikes. Whether it's the upbeat, feel good songs that you have to turn up when you're driving, like First Time or the heartfelt, beautiful ballads like Easier to Be, LifeHouse delivers awesome music that doesn't disappoint. This is my favorite of all their CD's.
review latest album lifehouse
I think the new lifehouse album is great. I'm from holland and here this album is not even for sale. I don't think this is the best album they made so far. But that is my personal opinion. I'm more into songs like simon, hanging by a moment and you and me. There are not many songs like that on the album. Even though it's a great album
You won't be disappointed!
I enjoyed "No Name Face" when it was released some years ago. Unfortunately, for some reason I lost touch with Lifehouse...until this release! I can't say how happy I am that I bought this CD! I can hear a real development and maturation in the music and talent of the group. This disk is truly beautiful. Jason Wade's vocals send chills down my spine. Get this disk...it rocks!
