Lifehouse is the third studio album by pop rock band Lifehouse. It was released in 2005 on Geffen Records.

It debuted at #10 on the Billboard 200, selling 63,000 copies in its first week of release and was certified Gold by the RIAA on September 7, 2005.[5][6] Lifehouse has sold 960,000 units in the US as of November 2009,[7] and over three million worldwide to date.

Background

The album saw a shift in Lifehouse's sound, as it was the first to be executive produced by American record producer and singer Jude Cole, who had previously been the bands manager since their early formation stages in 2000. It notably featured less of the angst-ridden post-grunge sound of their previous two albums, and marked their first album to adopt the lighter, more radio-friendly adult pop rock sound prevalent in their subsequent albums. Tracks such as "We'll Never Know" feature more post-grunge flair, while the albums two lead singles "You and Me" and "Blind" lean towards pop rock.
