Solid CD. The amazing vocal and musical talent are a rare breed these days.
Come Back Down - Mellow song, strong and emotional vocals. 1. 9/10

2. You and Me - a bit overrated IMO. Good song, but I just don't feel it as much as the others. 8/10

3. Blind - I'd say one of my favorites but I'll start repeating myself too much. The chorus has a lot of raw emotion in it. I think he was very much in love when he wrote this. 9. 5/10

4. All in All - Great song. Love the addition of the string section. 9/10

5. Better Luck Next Time - Great intro riff. I also love when Wade exercises his high end. He can sound grunge-like, but also completely smooth and melodic as well. 9/10

6. Days Go By - Least favorite song on the CD. Sounds like the only filler track on the album. 6/10

7. Into the Sun - Again, Wade goes from a crackle in his voice to sounding like most male singers can't - kind of Chris Issac like. Beautiful song. 9/10

8. Undone - Average by their standards. Nothing special here, but still good. 8/10

9. We'll Never Know - Strong opening and verses. Loses a bit of energy in the chorus, but finishes pretty well. 9/10

10. Walking Away - Beautiful melody coupled with Wade's great voice. It makes me feel a bit melancholy, but in a good (deep) way. 9/10

11. Chapter One - Great, great, great. Love the instrumentation, lyrics, and harmonization. Also notice the reverse sampling used on the guitar - quite Beatles-esque! 9. 5/10

12. The End Has Only Begun - Decent finisher that's nice and relaxing. 8. 5/10


All in all (no pun intended), this and Stanley Climbfall are my favorite works by them. I go against the norm in that I don't think No Name Face is their best album comprehensively. For me half the songs are EXCELLENT with it, the other half I don't care for that much.

At any rate, Lifehouse is one of my favorite bands, and that says a lot to me since the others are the Beatles and the Doors - and this from a 31 year old Gen-X'er. I have a feeling their music is going to have staying power with me (and many others)!

RT's Review
Never heard of them before I saw them on Smallville and certainly not disappointed with the purchase. Great album.


My New Favorite Group
I recently heard the song You and Me by Lifehouse and absolutely fell in love with it. . no pun intended. It is such an incredible song and fun to play on a guitar, by the way. I bought the CD because of the song but enjoy the whole thing. My favorite songs are You and Me, All in All, and Better Luck Next Time. All my friends like this group too. . . we blast it in the car. .


A personal favorite
I have been a fan since their first disc, and the radio airplay of "Hanging by a Moment" exploded on the scene. This CD, the third from Lifehouse, is one of my very favorites.

Here they have branched out into quieter more AC type melodies rather than just cranking out another set of songs exactly like all of their others and in my mind the results were stunning. "You and me" is a gorgeous song. You can play it for anyone between the age of 15 and 50 and they might not know the name of the song or the band, but they will know the song. . . and most likely like it as well.


Beautiful....
The songs are so melodic and although slower than their other songs, they manage to be really catchy! I definitely recommend this album!. Unlike past albums, this album reveals a softer side of the band, which is not bad at all! Jason's voice does wonderful things in this album.
