Free Music Notes for Lifehouse
Free Music Review: Good overall!
Hit: 5 Stars
The first time I heard about Lifehouse was during the SMALLVILLE prom episode where "You and Me" was played. I really liked the song, so I started to do my research about Lifehouse. After I heard other songs from their other albums, I fell in love with Lifehouse. The thing that I like the most about them is that they actually do good music with meaningful lyrics, not just shallow words put together with tunes. And the fact that Jason Wade's voice is sooo deep and enchanting makes me like it even more. It just gives me chills everytime I hear it. I must admit, as much as I love Lifehouse, that their last album wasn't as much as I expected. This album is packed with very good songs, but if you listen to the CD track after track without interruptions, the songs might not shine as much as they should because they have basicly the same melody. But I must say that this doesn't bother me. Lifehouse is a great band, and though there are some tracks that I don't like much and that I've only heard about 3 times, the CD is DEFINITELY GREAT, worth listening and buying. My personal favorites (in order)are:
1. "Blind"- I just love the depth of his voice when he sings: /That I loved you more than you will ever know/
/And part of me died when I let you go/
He just makes it feel so real. And the lyrics are amazing!!!
2. "You and Me"- It's been a little overplayed, but that's good, I guess. I love the meaning of the song, the lyrics and the tenderness in the music and vocals.
3. "Come Back Down"- I love this song and the rythm and lyrics. GREAT SONG!
4. "Better Luck Next Time"- Love the chorus and it's a very catchy song.
5. "Days Go By"- Very catchy chorus.
6. "Undone"- I like this song very much, but I don't play it much. But it's really good. Catchy rythm.
7. "Into the Sun"- Not my favorite, but good. Moody, perfect to hear when you're down.
The rest of the songs are passable, but not their best.
Overall, love this album.
Free Music Review: Not bad, Worth Getting.
Hit: 5 Stars
I first heard "You and Me" on the radio and I DL on iTunes the next day and I couldn't stop listening to it. I got invited to go to their performance on Last Call with Carson Daily, what a great performance it was. I was determined to get the CD.
The CD is okay, it not really like You and Me, but its not bad, and it's worth getting. The CD takes awhile to get used to, so you got to listen to it more than once.
1. Come Back Down 10/10 Great start, very nice.
2. You and Me 10+/10 Best Song, it starts out lighter than the rest but its just great! Addicting!
3. Blind 10/10 Another great song, powerful. It ties in second with "Come Back Down".
4. All in All 9/10 Its quieter and the other in this album it reminds me of their oldies, its will done.
5. Better Luck Tomorrow 8.5/10 This is another good song. Louder than the one b4 this.
6. Days Goes By 8/10 There are parts in the songs that I like, but not this best, I dont hate nor love this song.
7. Into the Sun 8/10 Boring start, it gets better thought the song though. You either end up like it or hating it. There are alot of song that the druming is too overpowering.
8. Undone 9/10 This is catchy, and very addicting to listen to.
9. We'll Never Know 9/10 This is another catchy song.
10. Walking Away 7.5/10 Very Mellow(almost boring)... but the part where he sings " I remember you walking away..." makes it up.
11. Chapter One 7.5/10 this takes awhile to get used to, kinda different from the rest.
12. End Has Only Begun 7/10 It not bad, it just doesn't compete against the others.
Overall rating 9/10

This could possibly be the greatest rock album you don't know of.
Lifehouse has been one of my favorite bands through time for a variety of reasons, but they outdid themselves on this later release. In fact their 2007 album "Who We Are" looks positively directionless when compared to the mastery displayed here. Jason Wade is an incredible lyricist, and even though certain traces of Christian rock still permeate their music, Lifehouse shows distinct evolution on this, their one and only masterpiece.
Lead single "You and Me" is in fact one of the weaker tracks here. My prime candidate for choice cut would be "The End has Just Begun" which is actually the last track on the CD, but acts as a fitting window for a Vol. 2. "All in All" and "Days go By" have that familiar sunny Lifehouse charm that reflect a lazy Californian summers' day. These infectious melodies have been structured in such a way that they lend something new each time you listen to it. Soon you will be humming these all day long. Take it from me - whether I'm shopping or traveling, I'm always humming something or the other from this album at some point. Very, very catchy melodies.
Sadly, this album has been overlooked and is underrated even by fans. Even sadder, its only known by the weak lead single "You and Me" which to me, though quite nice, is not at all a reflection of what this album is all about.
If you're looking for a slower rock album with memorable choruses that will stand the test of time (2 years and its still a fixture on my IPod), then "Lifehouse" is the album for you.
Five Stars.
Free Music Review: Back and better than ever, well at least better as album #2
Hit: 5 Stars
Lifehouse`s third album is out and after listening to it a couple of time I think it is a lot better than their second album Stanley Climbfall, but still not as good as No Name Face, which is, at least for me, a classic. It has some great catchy track on it. It starts great. Come Back Down, the first single You & Me and Blind are brilliant songs. Then comes All in All, a slow starter but it`s just one of those songs that gets better with every listen. Better Luck Next time is another great track with those typical Jason Wade lyrics brought brilliantly to life by his voice. Days Go By kind of reminds me of summer and is also a great track, it kinda sounds like it could be a title song of a TV show though, that could be a bad or a good thing, depends on a person listening to it I guess. Track #7 Into the Sun, track #8 Undone, track #9 We`ll never know are all excellent songs. Then comes Walking Away, a slow song and in my opinion the worst song on the album, but not a bad song, it just feels a bit out of place. Chapter One has this catch initial tune and is a laid back track, not amongst the best on the album, but a song you can listen to without skipping it. The last track on the album is appropriately named The End Has Only Begun and it`s a mellow track, it`s ok, but not excellent.
All in all it`s a great album offering a variety of extremely catchy songs that seem to haunt you all day long as at least I can`t seem to stop singing them and humming their melodies. I`ll give this album a 9 out of 10, with No Name Face being 10 and Stanley Climbfall a 7.5 just to give you some perspective.

I'll start by saying I also have Lifehouse, No Name Face in my cd collection and I absolute loved that cd.
This one isn't as good, but its still great because it shows Lifehouse reaching deeper for a new sound. If they tried to do this Cd like no name face then they wouldn't have made any progress, and it'd be really boring. That's why this is a good step.
I loved it, it's a great mellow-out cd. You can just sit and listen to it, and think about the words. It doesn't really have many fast-paced songs, but it doesn't matter cuz jason wade has a great voice. He also shows that little touch of confidence that makes me enjoy his voice so much.
1. Come Back Down - 9/10. Cant. Not. Like. This. Song.
2. You and Me - 10/10. Love it. Made every American girl dream.
3. Blind - 9/10. Reminds me a bit of old Lifehouse.
4. All in All - 10/10. Jason Wade's voice is awesome here.
5. Better Luck Next Time - 8/10. Grows on me.
6. Days Go By - 9/10. Nice happy melody.
7. Into the Sun- 8/10. Another Jason Wade voice perfection.
8. Undone - 8/10. Has the same kind of tune like Days Go By.
9. We'll Never Know - 10/10. Fun song. Nice "na na" part in it.
10. Walking Away - 6/10. Nothing cool.
11. Chapter One - 7.5/10. Nice little quirky song.
12.The End Has Only Begun - 7/10. A disappointing end to an otherwise satisfying album.
So yeah, not as many hits as No Name Face, but No Name Face is just one of those albums.
But, this is a great album. And it deserves its $15 bucks.
