Perhaps some of you still remember the song "Hanging By A Moment" by Lifehouse. The song was very popular in the beginning of the new millennium. With All In, which can be found on the latest album, Smoke & Mirrors, they try to do this all over again.

The voice of singer/guitarist Jason Wade often makes me think of Chris Cornell (ex-Audioslave), which is a good thing, because this only means that Wade’s voice is very powerful. This can especially be heard in the chorus of the song. Musically, they are definitely inspired by bands such as Stereophonics. Will this song be as popular as "Hanging By A Moment"? Therefore we need a big question mark. Therefore I think that the song is a bit too simple and not creative and unique enough.

Catch Lifehouse in Europe in September and October, as they will play a very select number of shows.

72/100
