Free Music Review: Lifehouse Picks Up the Pace with their Fourth Effort
Hit: 5 Stars
Reeling from the huge success of their multi-format hit "You And Me," Lifehouse is back to prove that they are in fact a rock group that can turn up the volume whenever they choose with a good deal of success. With "Hanging By A Moment," released in 2000 and popularized in 2001 as the most played song on radio for the year, Lifehouse began on alternative formats and spread their wings from there. Since then, the band has stuck to more Mainstream Pop and Adult Contemporary formats, with popular songs like "Spin" and "Take Me Away" from their sophomore effort Stanley Climbfall. With their third release, self-titled, Lifehouse added bassist Bryce Soderberg and came up with yet another huge hit, "You And Me," leaving no doubt that these boys could never be considered one hit wonders. With Who We Are, Lifehouse goes back to a mixture of uptempo rockers and the usual ballads. The result is a solid album with many hits and very few misses.
The first single "First Time" has been doing well on radio and is poised to be a summer smash. This uptempo rock song is extremely catchy and will have you tapping your feet to it in no time as it builds up to the searing chorus.
The sure fire next single is the ballad "Broken." This song, unbelievably well written, came out of a trip Wade took to Nashville to visit a dear friend waiting on a kidney transplant, but it can be related to many different situations because of Wade's universal lyrics. The emotional grip of this song is deep, and in my opinion, this song alone is enough of a reason to buy the album.
Another hidden gem for the Lifehouse faithful is the last song "Storm." Available only previously on a limited release entitled "Diff's Lucky Day" (an album by the same band members when they were known as Blyss, which sold on Ebay for hundreds of dollars when the band first hit it big with "Hanging By A Moment"). This fan favorite at concerts is a beautiful song and a great way to close out the album.
Overall, this is another solid effort from a band which will be around for many years to come. If you liked any of their previous albums, this is a definite must have, and if you're just getting into Lifehouse through this album, I would definitely pick up their past efforts as well.
