Album review: LIFEHOUSE – Out Of The Wasteland
Lifehouse have sold over 15m albums worldwide with considerable success in their native US, yet they remain relatively unknown here in the UK. This album sees the band on a new record label and back after a short hiatus.
The music features upbeat melodies and they certainly know how to pen an instant song like lead single ‘Hurricane’. ‘Runaways’ sounds like Snow Patrol at their best, whilst ‘Fight’ has a hint of the Goo Goo Dolls (Lifehouse’s drummer toured with that band during the band’s hiatus).
‘Stardust’ with its drum dance beat and synths is a dreamy piece of pop rock, whilst the slower paced ‘Central Park’ takes a REM like guitar and again the vocals lead the song.
The melancholy ‘Wish’ is driven along by the Jason Wade’s vocals and a gentle acoustic guitar and strings arrangement. The string arrangements are aided by film score composer James Newton Howard. ‘Hurt This Way’ features harmony vocal overload (and I am a sucker for harmony vocals) with a damn fine tune. All that and a xylophone too!
Lifehouse know their way around a good tune and this album should certainly further help their music get wider recognition in the UK. A lot of these songs would sit easily on BBC Radio 2′s playlist and digital stations like Planet Rock.
给了4星，还说这次会在英国得到更大认可呢，怎么可能？

新吉他手看着像小受
Allmusic给了3星额，似乎生涯的最高评分是Almeria的3.5星
Lifehouse took a sabbatical after the release of 2012's Almeria, the three members following their own muses in a variety of different projects. This break didn't last long. In 2014, the group reconvened, first playing a few gigs, then reuniting with longtime producer Jude Cole to record the album that became 2015's Out of the Wasteland. Although this record came out on the independent label Ironworks -- an imprint run by Cole and Kiefer Sutherland -- it feels designed for a major label, a major that would've existed about a decade earlier, when Lifehouse were still climbing into the Billboard Top Ten. That fate may not befall Out of the Wasteland, but it is an immaculately constructed record, easing between insistent midtempo anthems and power ballads, neither feeling all that different than the other. Cole's production turns Out of the Wasteland into a cool, glassy balm, but this doesn't undercut Lifehouse's emotional intent (Jason Wade wrote the majority of the record, with Bryce Soderberg penning "Stardust" with Pelle Hillstrom). Like on Almeria, the group indulges in middle-aged introspection here, so Cole's expertly modulated production suits the sentiment, in addition to turning it into fine mood music.
