Includes two bonus tracks, both not on the U.S. version: 'What's Wrong With That' and 'Fool'.No Name Face is an auspicious debut from a band seemingly made to rule the airwaves. The insinuating melodies that mark Lifehouse's radio-friendly sound are not unlike those of matchbox twenty or Live in their softer moments. From the first single, "Hanging by a Moment," to the emotive and uplifting "Quasimodo" and the wonderful "Trying" (think Crowded House at their lilting best), Lifehouse are self-possessed and focused.
Young singer-songwriter Jason Wade (the son of two ministers) imbues Lifehouse's vibe with a spiritual quality that's never heavy-handed, delivering the goods with the authority of an experienced troubadour. No Name Face may be a first offering from a young band, but it looks to signal the beginning of an estimable career. --Katherine Turman
Rocking on 'Hanging By A Moment' and 'Sick Cycle Carousel', completely amazed by and inspired by 'Simon'; this album always makes me feel 'Somewhere In Between'!!!
Still Lifehouse's best album by far. Nothing came close to the beauty that is No Name Face. Come on, all songs were perfect. (My personal faves were Simon and Quasimodo).
