Album Of The Day: No Name Face by Lifehouse

Album Art of Lifehouse's No Name Face album - A painting or a photo of a painted face, maybe found on some sort of carnival ride or something. The face is round and white and there's green/black curls on the top and sides that kinda look like hair, and also look like decorative, curly edges to an ornate design. Below the face is a plaque that has the album title stamped on it in small, uppercase print. Across the top the band's name is printed in golden orange in a boxy font with some more golden edging making a rough drop shadow.

Released 25 years ago today, this is the first album by Lifehouse, a moderately successful rock band from the 2000s. "Hanging By A Moment" and "Sick Cycle Carousel" from this album were often played on various radio formats around the album's release. Singer Jason Wade had a bit of an Eddie Vedder/Scott Stapp gravelly tone to his voice, which fits well with the post-grunge, alternative rock sound of the band's music. Lyrically, the songs are generally about the struggles of life with some love songs and some religious language. And well, the closing track "Everything" is a good and long closing track, but I'm not sure how I feel about churches using it for various dramatizations over the years. Lifehouse has never really been a favorite band of mine, but it's not a bad album. The band definitely had staying power, though, with singles getting Adult Contemporary or other radio play throughout the decade following this release.
