HMV Review

Questions of identity seem to loom large in Lifehouse's mind. On their third album, they titled it after themselves, and now on the 2007 follow-up, they state Who We Are -- a declaration that could easily be a question depending on the punctuation and emphasis. Does this fourth album add up to a statement or question? It's the former, but that doesn't necessarily provide a fulfilling answer for doubters. The curious thing about Who We Are is that the trio still parties like we've just left Y2K: there's no garage punk, no emo, no spacy precious pop, no electronic flourishes -- it's post-alternative guitar rock preserved in amber. Guitarist/singer/songwriter Jason Wade contends that he's battling inner demons by wresting angels on the opening Disarray, but Lifehouse don't hit as hard as they used to, since the bandmembers are starting to see the twilight of their twenties. Although there is little melody here, they're starting to mellow in characteristic fashion: with sincerity. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

大好きなアルバムです！ First Timeはもはや名曲でしょう！確かに捨て曲が存在しません。正統派アメリカンロックの王道って感じの彼らの曲は聴けば聴くほど引き込まれる何かが存在します。これがライフハウスマジック！！！

全体的にポップで明るく、前向きになれるアルバムだと思います。…が、個人的に2ndが一番好きな自分としては、少し物足りなさを感じました。ジェイソンの声って、グランジに一番向いてると思うし、切ない物悲しい哀愁曲を歌わせたら、右に出る者なんていないから、もう少しそんな曲調のものを聴いてみたいです。けど「Whatever It Takes」は、名曲だと思います。次回の新作にも期待したいです。まだ先かな？

聞き込んで結構たちました。第一印象は...普通？で、easier to be しか好きになれなかったのですが、聞き込むとスルメでした。いいよ、これ。 1stよりpopになりましたが爽快感は抜群です。他のロックを聴いてからlifehouseを聴くと落ち着きます。悟りの境地、唯一無二！
