Summary: simply amazing
Comment: Lifehouse will forever be remembered for their hit Hanging by a Moment, the first single off this CD. That is also why I got this CD in the first place. I can now officially say that I love Lifehouse! Their vocals are great, the guitars are nothing but superb and well, they're just plain close to perfect. If you like this CD, check out their new CD Lifehouse (which features another kickass song from them, You and Me) and their earlier CD, Stanley Climbfall. And just for fun, click the "yes" button to the proceeding question.

Summary: Lifehouse...memories of 1999
Comment: I was first introduced to Lifehouse when I saw them opening for Matchbox 20 and Everclear. I was smitten, but I was 16, too. All my cd's were stolen a while ago, and as of late I'd been getting a hankering for some Lifehouse. Initially, the cd was refreshing to my ears, reliving old thoughts and memories through 'Hanging By a Moment' and 'Sick Cycle Carousel'. 'Everything' was one of the reasons I bought the cd. It's beautiful with little touches of a cello wafting throughout the song. Sadly, after listening to the cd, it began to feel a little dated in my current musical tastes. A lot of Lifehouse's sound gives me the feeling that you'd get from Christian Rock. They carry a powerful feeling, very positive, but with some darker undertones throughout their music. The reason I was really smitten with the band in the begining was because of their use of cellos or some pretty violins in some of their songs. They have the ability to make really pretty slow, soft songs, and enlightening, "perfect guy" type of love songs. These guys are perfect for any girl just ready to sway along to some cute guys professing their love for the ever impossible to find female in their lives. It's pretty music, but it gets boring after a while. Good for reliving the late ninties, and for some nice sing-along in the car music.

Summary: Incredible--Must Have
Comment: This album is just amazing. I can't put into words how beautifully written every single song is. Normally, when I buy any album, i only like maybe 4 songs, but this album is fantastic from the beginning to the very end. Jason Wade's voice is so captivating, and the lyrics grab your attention because you can truly relate to them. There isn't any wishy- washy, whiny music here, but an album completely saturated with substance.

Summary: awesome
Comment: I am a big fan of Lifehouse - and I love this CD! They are excellent musicians and writers, and they know how to put a song together. I love how each one is so different from the other. They don't all follow the same pattern, there is some diversity. I also like how this CD caters to a larger audience than just rock fans. The mellow songs still carry an engery - a contained emotion. Usually debut albums are not all that great, it takes a while for the band to get their feet under them and their style decided. Not Lifehouse! They are solid, and I look forward to more of their music in the future.

Summary: 10 stars for "Hanging by a Moment"
Comment: I Love "Hanging by a Moment"! It's a great song. I love Jason Wade, the lead singer/guitarist. He's definately what you would call a "crossover" artist. Some of his songs are christian, while others are "love" songs. So he's a Christian/Secular artist, which is a good thing, because you need variety. I'm also in love with him his deep voice, good lyrics, and VERY good looks. I would definately rate him 10 stars, too.
However, the album itself isn't all that great. But, their singles that you hear on the radios (both Christian and Secular) are great. (I'm saying this as a Christian).But, if you are looking for good rock albmus, try "The Beautiful Letdown" by Switchfoot. Also try Switchfoot's latest "Nothing is Sound". Jeremy Camp, Kutless, Rachel Lampa, and Sanctus Real are also worth checking out

Editorial Reviews:

No Name Face is an auspicious debut from a band seemingly made to rule the airwaves. The insinuating melodies that mark Lifehouse's radio-friendly sound are not unlike those of matchbox twenty or Live in their softer moments. From the first single, "Hanging by a Moment," to the emotive and uplifting "Quasimodo" and the wonderful "Trying" (think Crowded House at their lilting best), Lifehouse are self-possessed and focused. Young singer-songwriter Jason Wade (the son of two ministers) imbues Lifehouse's vibe with a spiritual quality that's never heavy-handed, delivering the goods with the authority of an experienced troubadour. No Name Face may be a first offering from a young band, but it looks to signal the beginning of an estimable career. --Katherine Turman
