Who We Are is another set of rousing anthems from this reflective trio. On their fourth full-length, the Los Angeles three-piece sets the template for a harder-rocking effort with dynamic opener "Disarray," in which singer/guitarist Jason Wade admits he doesn't know where he's going, but "wouldn't have it any other way." The band rocks even harder on album highlight "The Joke," a song inspired by a real-life suicide. It's a risk that pays off, although the lyrics almost make the subject seem more defiant than regretful. Throughout the record, Rick Woolstenhulme's drums sound like they're cranked up to 11--not that there's anything wrong with that (Bryce Soderberg holds his own on bass). In other words, the music isn't shy (or subtle), but Wade's words read more like questions than answers. Granted, closing number "Storm," with Rocco DeLuca on organ, brings things to a gentle close, but most tracks follow in the over-sized footsteps of post-grunge precursors, like Live and Stone Temple Pilots. Then again, as Abigail Van Buren used to say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." If Lifehouse ever find what they're looking for, to paraphrase yet another sage, they may as well pack it in. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Album Description
Lifehouse is singer-guitarist Jason Wade, drummer Rick Woolstenhulme and bassist-singer Bryce Soderberg. These three guys are a hit making machine! Jason Wade proved himself a gifted songwriter with Lifehouse's first record, 2000's multiplatinum No Name Face, which spawned the #1 hit "Hanging by a Moment." Calling that song a hit, however, is a bit of an understatement as "Hanging by a Moment" was the most-played song of 2001. Stanley Climbfall, the band's Top 10 follow-up, was released in 2002. 2005 saw the release of their third album simply titled Lifehouse which included the undeniable hit #1 multi-format hit "You And Me" and kept the band out on the road touring for over a year. With Who We Are, Lifehouse takes another evolutionary step making an upbeat album full of potential hits sure to please fans and make new ones.
Album Description
Japanese pressing of their 2007 album featuring three bonus tracks: 'Keep The Change', 'I Want You To Know' and 'You And Me (Live In Portland)'. With Who We Are, their fourth Geffen album in seven years, Lifehouse, all still in their mid-20s, are really starting to enjoy the fruits of their success and have some fun. Their multi-platinum 2000 debut, No Name Face, produced "Hanging by a Moment," a #1 alternative hit which crossed over to become Top 40's Most Played Song, while 2005's self-titled platinum effort yielded "You and Me," a giant hit ballad that set a record by spending more than 60 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, Lifehouse are not just the sum of their considerable accomplishments

 don't count on those free extras April 21, 2008

Lifehouse brings us another great album, as you can see by all those other reviews. This review concerns those 'freebies' that are listed as part of the Deluxe CD. Don't count on it! The insert in the CD says it comes with a free ringtone and cell wallpaper, and includes a code to use on a special website, which requires registration. After you give them your email address and go through the email verification log-in, you find out that it's for 3 cell carriers only: Sprint, T-mo, and Cingular. I have Sprint. Put my cell number in, added the special code, got the text on my phone and the text says 'not compatible with your handset' (Palm Centro). So I go back to the web site to see if the wallpaper will work. I go through the whole rigamarole again, putting in the magic code and this time I get a web site edit: 'Code has already been used'. There's nothing on the outside or inside of the CD to indicate that you can choose either the wallpaper or the ringtone but not both. It even says "Free ringtone and more!" Hmmph! Suckered again.
Very consistant and crafty songwriting April 16, 2008

I'll keep this simple.....a really good mature CD by a band who keeps getting better. If you like this CD, also check out the Fozzy All That Remains Reloaded CD/DVD....heavier band, but on the same track with the melodies and sing/song chorus
 I love this band April 12, 2008
Pinky (Maryland)
When I first heard this band I knew they were here to stay. They are the perfect blend of rock, pop and acoustic melodies that make each song unique and a easy listen. Wade's voice is so beautiful and his range gives the songs such depth , it is a great accompanyment to his band. It gives me chills when he sings so low and soft one minute but then turns around and deliver such emotional powerhouse vocals on such a song as "whatever it takes" - by the way, the video for this song will take your breath away- especially us girls!!
I loved this CD so much that I went back to get "Lifehouse" by Lifehouse right after hearing "blind" and "Come back down" at a friends house.
If you love a good solid rock band with style- Lifehouse Rocks hard!!
All the tracks from both these CD's are awsome!!!!
