Do you remember the band Lifehouse? They had a hit song back in 2000 off of their cd “No Name Face” called “Hanging By a Moment.” Is it all coming back to you now?

Everybody thinks of Lifehouse as just a one-hit wonder band, but they have made more than just that one album. In 2003, they released a second cd called “Stanley Climbfall.” Unfortunately, this cd didn’t have many chart-toppers on it.

Their new self-titled cd, released on March 22, 2005, is ready to break the charts thought, with it’s new single “You And Me.”

“I think the song is cool. I like how the song is far from typical, and how they refer to ‘all of the people.’ It’s neat,” says Shannon Bryant, a junior.

The first song on the album, “Come Back Down,” sets the pace for the album. It’s a softer rock than most of today’s groups, but it definitely doesn’t belong on easy listening.

The album, in my opinion, kind of has a 90’s rock feel to it. Life house has held on to the “good ol’ days” of Goo Goo Dolls and Third Eye Blind – and I have no problem with that. I’m not saying that they sound exactly like those bands, but they’d fit in a similar category.

As they say, “the third try is the charm.” Maybe this third album from Lifehouse will be the one to bring them into the spotlight.
