No Name Face







No Name Face Overview


Includes two bonus tracks, both not on the U.S. version: 'What's Wrong With That' and 'Fool'.

No Name Face Specifications


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

Customer Reviews


I must confess one thing: House when life first appeared in 2001 with "Hanging By A Moment ', I thought it was just another Creed song. Then I stopped playing the band ... and I realized that this new group all unlike his first song was. A mix of rock, soul-searching lyrics, and the harsh voice of Jason Wade, Lifehouse's debut album "No Name Face" is still high for almost a decade.

If you are looking for a full record of hymns, I tell you now, to skip it. DuringThe length can cause the sensation (and, in 2001, there was someone in America who did not know that song?) Is the residue of him more along the lines of Daughtry meets Keane. "Sick Cycle Carousel" is a great rock song like "Only One". 'Cling and noise "and" Breathing "is a bit' more pop, although not unique enough to be confused with most of them are tunes from the radio. And: "Simon" and "Everything" are still among the under-rated songs ever recorded - with soaring choruses research,It is immediately drawn into its magic.

But what makes it unique is its amazing song Lifehouse. With lines like "you have lost and to hide in the search for something else behind it" (to find 'Simon'), every song is full of meaning. It 's the feeling of actual combat, the real emotions - Real Life - in these songs. The unusual voice singer Jason Wade (which is immediately recognizable, a little 'scratchy, a bit' raw) only adds to the feeling.

It 'been almost ten years sinceThis was rejected. And while it is in my CD player every time in the past, I'm still scope for "No Name Face" when I listen to rock music. And 'timeless, Great Stuff.

Customer Reviews


VH's Diver Down I remember back in 82 when it first came out. For some reason I associate with summer, because I played my friend guess summer. Or do you love, love or hate, and they are a lot of people who hate love / to Diver Down. Me personally, I like it. Sure, it covers almost half, but they are good covers. Where are the good times Gone, Dancing in the Streets, and the best Pretty Woman. Yes, these cover songs, but took VHShe ran with them and made them their own for the album. Van Li Halenized so to speak. And the game is impressive Diver Down. His is a really good feel to it, a little 'softer, less cruel or aggressive then the previous albums before. There is no fair warning, I tell you, but what is? I think it was a breath of fresh air when it came out. You may hate to talk bad about it, say its not this or that, that's your opinion and you have the right, but not his best album and its VHworse, is what you feel good, party, good time, the album of light from a big time hard rock classic. Where are all the good times over, can you tell me?

Best of







Best of Overview


Randy Newman, The Best of Randy Newman:

The songwriting genius' multi-label highlights on one CD! The first of its kind, this unique collection gathers 21 tracks released between 1968 and 1999, including Newman's greatest hits, album cuts, and soundtrack classics.


Customer Reviews


Randy Newman is a songwriter and satirist. If you've never heard of him, which is not surprising. I have about 10 of his old vinyl albums, but had not received Randy maybe 10 or 15 years.

He won an Oscar for "You've Got a Friend in Me." He has uncles, who wrote many films of great music. His uncles were famous, but Randy was a bit 'unknown.

He writes songs that are very controversial. His best known "big" success was probably "ShortPeople. "

This album is a sampler Randy Newman. If you're a rock and roll fan, you probably recognize, "Mom told me not to come" or the great success by Joey Cocker, "You Can leave your hat on." Randy wrote both.

The song "Political Science" is a killer and "rednecks" is great, but not good in my current environment. Randy is a social commentator and as a composer. "Sail Away" and "Little Criminals" are both great.

You need to listenin the words of the songs of Randy. He is a thinker ... He is not only for us to fat cats rhyme and tried to say something. And he does and makes it very skillfully. There is much to listen and learn a lot from listening to Randy Newman.

My guess is that it is just love Randy Newman, and now I hate him. It is not his voice or his piano prevail. He is a stylist. He is unique. Randy listen I remember some other artists.And Randy can be Randy. It 'difficult to remain neutral with Randy. Try this CD. If you like, you like her others. Hear Randy's like going to a lecture at several universities radical ... Randy is funny if not ... and he plays piano and sings. Great speech!

Second single "Run This Town" with Rihanna and Kanye West will premiere at radio on July 24th.


Customer Reviews


"It 's all about progression." These are some of the more concise in this misunderstood masterpiece "to the next." Jay-Z is quite on the level, it should be. Some critics have said that Hov is developed both as man and artist. Absolutely. From its humble beginnings in the Marcy projects (I'll be representing the Chambers-Mitchell Bronx!) For gold Rolex. For platinum and Rolex. The man is on this album, with an indication of progression. Not onlyBut hip-hop is a project for its survival. If hip-hop is to survive in a meaningful way, it was progress. If you use the old model, will continue its descent into nothingness.

Some controls have said the new Hov album is not quite true. I laugh at them. Like a true artist, Jay Z is a unique position to make real art. It so happens that his medium is hip-hop. Moreover, the man has more street credof all people criticize him for not having faith enough (I urge everyone to come among you with a real place, and then the Bed Stuy 70s, 80s and 90s than the Bronx the same period, that is.) the point is Jay Z must provide credentials for real hip-hop. He does not need the consent or approval by anyone to make real Hip-Hop. Some of you have said that the new Raekwon album "Cuban Linx, the rule is true hip-hop by the courts. Although I love the boss and Wu,I must say that the album Jay-Z is higher.

In short, Jay-Z is doing to the future of art. When artists create, much of what is created, misunderstood and panned. Would then, fans of hip-hop and even if they behind Jay Z and appreciated his vision, instead of clinging to outdated ideas of what should be hip-hop.
