Count me in as guilty here as well. While they are pop rock, they're pretty damn good at it. Jason is a hell of a talented guy, and I admire how the band never puts out the same album twice and evolved their sound.
Wade is another vedder clone. Though their first album was good, their new stuff is crap IMO.
How the hell is he a Vedder clone? Because some magazine told you so? He sounds 100% nothing like Ed. Not everyone that has a deep singing voice is a Ed clone.

Yeah I like songs off their first album. I actually saw them on a side stage before a PJ show in 2000. I enjoyed watching them and met Wade after. He gave me a single of "Hanging by a Moment" and signed it. I remember someone asked them if Pearl Jam was cool, and they said they hadn't met them. I wouldn't say I'm a fan of theirs, but I like seeing them have success. They are a poppy band, but they write their own songs and do their own thing.
second album tried some new directions, which the industry didnt like, but several songs grew on me (anchor, just another name, and am I ever gonna find out? are on my ipod).
from the third album on, they have just been trying to re-create the success of HBAM, which is depressing.
he is talented, but needs to branch out and explore music more, rather than re-making the same song over and over again.

The third album has maybe two really solid songs on it. I think after the commercial failure of Stanley Climbfall (my favorite of their CD's), they needed to produce a big hit. The new album is quite good, but also has a couple of songs that should have never made the album.
Lmao.. typical pj fanboy.. I don't like Lifehouses music but there is nothing that their singer does to copy vedder
I'm anything but a PJ fanboy.
On the first album he sings just like Vedder, he doesn't sound exactly like him because his voice is very differant (unlike Scott Stapp) but the technique he use is the same-Keeping his voice in low register as long as possible. His influence is clear esepcially since he has never been shy about it. Don't get me wrong I liked them in some respects at the start, but I couldn't give two shits about them now.
It's weird, people say its good POP rock, but I disagree......I find Lifehouse songs bland and instantly forgetable.....the opposite of 'pop' if you will.....

So...what you're really saying is that Eddie is a Morrison clone?
Maybe I get your point.
But I don't really think Wade picked up the distinctive elements, Eddie dd in other areas to differentiate himself from his influences. I just get sick of being easily able to see some guys influence a mile away, especially given its not the first time its been adopted. It was the same for PJ until I got deeper into their work.

Have you thanked a taper today?
