 Lifehouse starting to move in the right direction. June 20, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have been a fan of Lifehouse since "No Name Face," and for the most part I've had mixed feelings about the band. I typically enjoy some of the songs and the values they stood for, but with "Stanley Climbfall" and "Lifehouse," their two previous releases, I've felt like the songs were rather bland with a few exceptions ("Spin" from "Stanley Climbfall" and "You and Me" from their self-titled album). This album is a vast improvement, easily their best work since "No Name Face" and signs that Lifehouse is developing more of a unique sound to establish itself in mainstream rock and adult contemperary music.
"Disarray" kicks off the album reminiscent of "No Name Face" and "Hanging by a Moment." "Disarray" comes across a bit weird in the chorus but overall is a good lead-in to the single, "First Time," which sounds similar to previous Lifehouse singles but is still a solid single.
The best songs on the album occur in succession: "Whatever It Takes," "Who We Are," "Broken," and "The Joke." The final 2 stretch out Lifehouse's range as a band the most, making the sounds both catchy and extremely memorable in their catalogue of music.
After that, the band then goes into a few stale numbers ("Bridges" and "Make Me Over" don't offer much beyond what Jason Wade has already said) but the album closes with "Learn You Inside Out" and "Storm," a beautiful ballad that shows off Wade's ability to carry a song. It, along with "Broken" and "The Joke," easily dominate this albulm. Personally I'm pleased with the purchase, and I reccomend it to all Lifehouse fans.

I've honestly enjoyed all of Lifehouse's albums, but none so much as the first one, until now. This CD is much more like the band's debut album-it is edgier, the lyrics are more substantial, it has a couple of nice ballads, and it definitely has more of an overall rock feel reminiscent of the Hanging By A Moment and Quasimodo. It's a must if you've ever enjoyed any of Lifehouse's songs-all of the songs are enjoyable, rather than just filler centered around a couple of hits like so many alternative albums lately. Give it a shot.
 Boring, Mundane, Directionless July 14, 2007

What happened to the Lifehouse who recorded the absolute masterpiece, "No Name Face"? Debut album was absolutely brilliant. "Stanley Climbfall" was experimental, but it worked. I enjoyed that album as well. The 3rd album was a huge disappointment, and this 4th album, "Who We Are" is even worse.
Obviously, Wade has run out of material to write about. The creativity is gone. Each song on this CD sounds like the other. There is nothing to any of these songs, except cookie cutter, pop-rock, which has been done before a million times. If the songs were actually catchy and had decent hooks, that would be one thing. But these songs are dull, boring, and lifeless. No soul whatsoever in this album.
I'm glad the wait is over! June 28, 2007

I own all of the Lifehouse albums and I would say that this one offers the greatest display of their versatility and range. However, some songs take a listen or two before they begin to resonate to the ear. Overall a great album.
Lyrically strong, artistically encouraging, musically awesome June 29, 2007

Picked this cd up a few days after it released and saw the guys on tour with goo goo dolls at Red Rocks in Morrison Colorado and all i can say is: the new songs are packed with great content and awesome delivery. Jason Wade provides some great insight and optimism in the midst of an industry that often lives off of pain and depression with no signs of hope... this is good stuff. Playing this one over and over... I'll get back to the last three albums in time...
