LIFEHOUSE Who We Are (Geffen/Universal) |
 ON its 2002 sophomore effort, Stanley Climbfall, and in particular lead single Spin, Lifehouse looked like a band intent on moving beyond its hook-y post-grunge comfort zone. Frontman Jason Wade even seemed like a smart boy planning a Daniel Johns-style renovation job. Five years and two albums on though, the change has still not come. In fact, Lifehouse, clearly oblivious to trends in modern rock, appears content to peddle its brand of unadventurous albeit hook-y post-grunge for the people who keep sending it back up the charts. And yes, in case you're wondering, there are many, many people keeping Lifehouse in business! They're the ones who caused Who We Are to debut at No. 14 on The Billboard 200. And they're the same ones who won't care that all the songs on this record, including lead single First Time, sound dated, same-y and most of all, uninspired. |
