Free Music Review: A Tru Review
Hit: 5 Stars
WOW...thats the only word to describe Lifehouse's sophomore effort. From the opening track (and first single), "Spin" to the cd's last cut, "How Long," Jason Wade, and Lifehouse delivere their second 5 star album. I listen to all sorts of music: From 2pac and DMX to Incubus, Dave Mathews and Jon Bon Jovi...everything! But nothing cathes my attention than Lifehouse's lyrics and soul-gripping emotions. I don't have to ramble on about each song, however, my favorite song on the cd, and of all time for that matter, is "Take Me Away." Listen to it ad i guarantee you find yourself listening to it over and over again...
If you your a lover of all music like I am, you will definately enjoy this album...If you loved theie first cd (and if you lived under a rock and didnt here of their first album "No Name Face", you'll love their second album...go get it!

This is a great CD. Lifehouse is an awesome band. It sets itself apart from the other bands out there with beautiful lyrics that reflect real world emotions. Jason Wade has a wonderful soulful voice - very smooth and powerful. This is a great follow-up to their first CD, No Name Face. Lifehouse is definitely one of quality bands out there.Free Music Review: The best the genre has to offer

This is the album that makes lifehouse great! No Name Face was decent, but this is far better. The best track on the disc is "sky is falling" it conveys a very personal message about breaking up and not being able to move on. Overall this is a fantastic album.Free Music Review: Lifehouse - Stanley Climbfall
Hit: 5 Stars
Lifehouse frontman Jason Wade quoted a Dreamworks executive saying 'you have you whole life to write your first album and just a few months to write the second'. Although that statement sounds credible and applicable for Lifehouse, the difference in quality between their debut album 'No Name Face' and this follow-up is barely recognizeable, though the band has invented a totally new sound for themselves while keeping some of the first album's characteristics. Below you will find reviews of all the tracks.Spin - An oath to Led Zeppelin? Maybe. Seemingly inspired by that group, it opens the album in a typical rocking fashion. 9/10
Wash - Features a great instrumental intro and an awesome chorus. 7/10
Sky Is Falling - A bit monotone, but beautiful in some parts. One of the more quiet songs on the album. 7/10
Anchor - Sounds like it wasn't made by Lifehouse, being very heavy and hard. The lyrics are typical of Jason Wade, but it's a bit too far off for my liking. Still a great song in its own right. 6/10
Am I Ever Gonna Find Out - Makes great use of the wide range of Jason's voice, a bit on the short side, but one of the better songs on the album. 8/10
Stanley Climbfall - A beautiful ballad that has Beatle-esque atmosphere troughout some parts of the song. One of the best songs on the album. 8/10
Out of Breath - Hanging by a Moment part 2, the pacing in this song is similar to the smash hit by Lifehouse, though the bass line and chorus aren't quite as catchy. 7/10
Just Another Name - One of the weaker songs on the album, it is a quite boring one for Lifehouse standards and the lyrics aren't in the same league/style that we're used to from Jason Wade. 6/10
Take Me Away - One of the best songs Lifehouse has ever made, this song is beautiful on the album, but it can be played in so many variations: a long, epic rock variation as well as the acoustic set, which transforms it into an emotional ballad. An awesome, awesome musical masterpiece. 10/10
My Precious - Drowns in not so memorable lyrics and insturmentals, one of the weaker songs on the album. 5/10
Empty Space - Superb song with great lyrics. Ballad-like, but has a rocking style to hide its purpose. One of the better songs on the album. 9/10
The Beginning - Something totally different for Lifehouse, but it ends up being a great song. Starts slow, but the pace picks up further along. 7/10
How Long - Awesome song that features as a bonus track on the album. Very great intro with drums and some guitar accords. 8/10
Sky Is Fallin acoustic - Great acoustic version of a great song. 7/10
All in all simply not as good as 'No Name Face', but this is a great follow-up seeing how high the expectations were. My highest possible reccomendation, also for people who still know Lifehouse only from Hanging By A Moment, Sick Cycle Carousel or the beatiful Breathing.
Free Music Review: Stanley climbfall - Did lifehouse climb or fall?
Hit: 3 Stars
I am the hugest fan of No Name Face... heard every song millions of times, but Stanley Climbfall left me questioning, Did Lifehouse base this cd solely on the fact that people liked "Hanging by a Moment"? I think they did, because every song is similar to "Hanging by a Moment". Not saying that song was horrible, but NNF was an any mood cd, where as, SCF wasn't. I hope they get more songs like "Everything" and "Breathing" on their next album. Lifehouse deserves many props for their work and Jason Wades voice is Awesome. One last thing, my personal feelings on "Hanging by a Moment" can be summed up in one word: OVERPLAYED!
