I have a soft spot for their first four albums and I used to listen to them with an ex gf (who passed away a few years ago) so nostalgia is a huge reason why I even still listen to this band. With that said, they took a weird turn starting Smoke & Mirrors combining their usual post-grunge/pop rock style with electronic music and then took a noisedive trying to combine folk and country with electronic pop on Almer?a. Even though they failed for the most part, at least they were attempting something different. This, however, is just a poor attempt to regain the success of the early material and it just sounds lifeless and sterile. You can't really tell one song from the next and it feels like a collection of leftovers they accumulated over the years. This pretty much came and went and it's no wonder why they haven't released anything since. "Stardust" and "Central Park" are the only good songs here.

What has been the 'rebirth' of Lifehouse for some, it has been the gravestone for some others. If you are a relatively new fan or an objective listener, you will find this album exciting at best and interesting at the least. Lifehouse appear rejuvenated and definetely surpass the quality of 2012's, Almeria ("Runaways, "Firing Squad", "Stardust"). On the other hand, older fans are left once again disappointed. Wade's vocals are becoming poppier record after record and the music does not sound as original as earlier in days. Being a fan of the latter category, I find it very difficult to stay interested in this band anymore. Although there are some scarce moments that remind the band at its heyday, ("Hurricane", "Flight") the majority of the album contains a mix of indifferent, mediocre pop songs and ballads. Recommended tracks: "Hurricane", "Flight", "Central Park"
