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

Customer Reviews

Landmark Lifehouse Release!
I'll admit that I got hooked by "Hanging By A Moment" like the rest of us in 2000. In some ways it seems like the band is so defined by that song that some don't really give a full appraisal of their body of work. As much as I enjoyed the first 3 releases, in my opinion "Who We Are" is the landmark Lifehouse release. It has standout songs like "First Time" and "Broken". I also love "Whatever It Takes", "Disarray", and "Storm". Unlike the other releases which were a step down from "No Name Face", "Who We Are" is solid from beginning to end and in my opinion is their best overall.

Amazing CD, Very Worthy of a Listen and Another!
This CD has not left my vehicle since first play. I listen to this CD over and over again. With tracks that reminisce, tracks that yearn and tracks that tear your heart out, this CD is a lyrical wonder. Only one track (#6) gets skipped and I really couldn't tell you why...it just isn't like the others. So buy it for the singles if you must, but listen to the whole wonderful heart wrenching journey and feel the emotion.

Best Album of 2007
I didn't buy many albums last year, but this was the best by a million miles. I listen to it everyday. I have had it in CD player for a year. I also bought the digital album as well. I want them to keep making great albums like this. I could run down each track and say why it's great, but that's not needed. It's just a great listen the whole way through. The first song that stood out to me was the last track "Storm" because it's emotional. The same thing with "Broken". It's just so beautiful. You can click on the song title to read my review on that song. I am so mad they made a radio remix because I want people to hear this album version that is perfect. "Learn You Inside Out" is great too. The way he says "Insiiiiiide out" twice during the song gives me chills.
