This is another review and it has and interesting note about how many copies of Smoke and Mirrors were sold opening day! You can view the article here:

Alternative band Lifehouse released a new album on March 2. The album, Smoke and Mirrors is an awesome representation of just how talented this band from Los Angeles is.

The album has the feel of the Lifehouse all fans are used to; upbeat, incredibly meaningful lyrics, and catchy instrumental. It’s everything a music lover wants and everything a Lifehouse fan expects.

The album was first expected to sell 50,000 copies within the first week of release. That number changed to 150,000 when the album sold 39,000 copies opening day. It’s no wonder Smoke and Mirrors sold so many copies, this band is clearly talented. That is proven in the second song of the album “Nerve Damage” with the astounding guitar solos.

The only single released from the album as of yet, “Halfway Gone,” is by far one of the catchiest songs on the album, and is a spitting image of what makes Lifehouse so good. They have catchy drums, cool guitar, memorable lyrics, and the vocal is unique and stands out above much other vocals in the music industry.

Smoke and Mirrors is an album every music lover should have in their CD collection.

Here’s a new interview I found from Planet Lifehouse – the acticle is on OK! Magazine. Jason talks about getting ready to have kids and his relationship with his wife:

Now that Lifehouse singer Jason Wade and wife Braeden have been married for nine years, babies are on the brain.

“We’re thinking about having kids in the next couple years,” the “Halfway Gone” crooner, 29, whose album Smoke and Mirrors is out now, tells me. “I’m scared at the same time, having to travel and be on the road a lot, but everyone I talk to who’s had children says that it’s the most amazing thing and it’ll change your life. I look forward to it.”

He considers two children to make the ideal family.

“You don’t want to have one kid because then you spoil them,” he says. “If you have two, they have someone to play with, and if you have three, then one’s going to be left out, so I think two is the perfect number.”

For now, the lovebirds can relish spending time with each other.

“We’re childhood sweethearts, and we’re still madly in love with each other,” he tells me. “We’re best friends. We really get along great, and we have a mutual respect for each other.”

Now that Jason’s band is gearing up to tour with Daughtry later this month, he’ll keep their union strong by bringing Braeden along on the road and by making regular visits when it’s not possible.

“We try not to be apart for longer than two weeks,” he says. “Either I’ll come home, or she’ll fly out on the road. We try not to let more than two weeks go by.”

While Braeden is accustomed to fan adoration, there is one woman she fears.

“Penélope Cruz,” he says. “There’s something magical about her. She does get jealous. She just knows. We joke about it a lot. If Brad Pitt comes on the screen, I think she has a crush on him. We tease each other.”
