Who We Are

Musically and lyrically memorable. Great Energy and a spirit that speaks to issues of real substance.

I recently became acquainted with Lifehouse from videos on Youtube, and was just blown away, so I had to buy all the recordings they have made to date. Soulful and powerful; in my opinion, this group simply does not make bad music. The lyrics and musicianship of this group are really exceptional. Each of their albums invite repetitive listening, and Who We Are is no exception. Compared with their first two recordings, No Name Face and Stanley Climbfall, Who We Are, with the exception of the first few tracks (and the title track) has a mellower overall feel to it, after the manner of Lifehouse, their third recording. "Mellow" here, though, does not mean insipid, or weak. A case in point is the last track on Who We Are, The Storm. This track starts off with Jason Wade singing unaccompanied, which really brings out the power of the lyrics, and provides a strong closure to the album, which left me wanting to hear more. Great job, guys. I'm looking forward to hearing number five.

Just a great CD all-around. It makes me want to go back through their previous albums and give them all a listen. Definitely worth getting!

So I'm only halfway through the album and feel compelled to spread the love of Lifehouse. I saw them play Live with the Goo Goo Dolls this past summer before (obviously) I picked up the album so it was great hearing all these new songs that I had only heard once before. I feel as if I am reminiscing an old dream; beautiful work. "Whatever It Takes", "Who We Are" and "The Joke" already stand out as the gems of this album, although I'm really looking forward to Storm with Rocco DeLucca in a few minutes. Wade weaves a truly emotional canvas of words with his newest batch of lyrics. Their work as a whole entity is simply astounding.

I really loved this album, I think it's there best since No Name Face. I liked there last 2 albums, but never as much as there first. This new album is great, it never leaves my CD player, almost every track is good, track 6 is the only one I don't like. Jason Wade has a great voice and is great at writing hit songs, and I think this will have more hits than any of the past albums. This one has a little more balance of there pop/rock sound and there adult contemporary sound than the last one that was mostly adult contemporary. "Disarray", "Who We Are" and "Storm" are my favorites. If you like Lifehouse, I Recommended you check out The Calling's 2 albums.
