| | Lifehouse - Stanley Climbfall : album review |
 | | Before asking "Lifehouse who?" it is worth noting that this band had the most played single on US radio last year with Hanging By A Moment, an honour that apparently belonged to Shaggy's highly noxious It Wasn't Me here in the UK. |
 | | Given that Lifehouse's Hanging By A Moment tramples all over How You Remind Me from a great height in terms of quality, now is a good time to give their second album, Stanley Climbfall, a fair hearing. |
 | | If this sounds more than a little derivative, that's because it is. However, what prevents Lifehouse from becoming merely humdrum is that, just like Kurt Cobain, Jason Wade knows his way round a chorus, and even further, has a knack for writing uplifting lyrics that, while clearly spiritual, never resort to over-sentimentality or didacticism. |
