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.
Amazon.com: 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

Rating: - What a masterpiece Lifehouse has done it again.
All the songs on this CD totally rock, can't stop listening to them. thier last Cd was good it was kind of a more slow version of lifehouse which I like, this one is really good all around, its kind of like all thier styles of music put together. the song writing is really good as always, the kind of songs that really make you think, and that actually mean something. Which alot of other artist lack extremely. the music rocks I love how they change the sound of every song. My favorites are Whatever ... Read More
Rating: - new to me
This group was new to me, but I like their sound. The message in the words is a little light, though.
Rating: - A Quality Album
Lifehouse is one of the better recent bands. This album is a very good collection.
It features good vocals and instrumentation. It contains several catchy songs. The better ones include the following: Disarray, First Time, Whatever It Takes, Who We Are, Broken, and Storm. The last two songs contain a spiritual and likely Christian theme. They are very good.
If you are not familiar with this group, 'Who We Are' is worth a listen. I also think that their previous album, ... Read More

Who We Are
I came to Amazon looking for their special edition album released in 2008 but found & purchased it from Walmart(they have it exclusive?). There is a 2nd disk with live tracks on it...ALL are excellent! I've abandoned most all music owned and listen to only Lifehouses' albums now. They just get better and better!
Rating: - review latest album lifehouse
I think the new lifehouse album is great. I'm from holland and here this album is not even for sale. I don't think this is the best album they made so far. But that is my personal opinion. I'm more into songs like simon, hanging by a moment and you and me. There are not many songs like that on the album. Even though it's a great album
