Stanley Climbfall is the second studio album by California-based alternative rock band Lifehouse. The album features the hit single "Spin". It had sales of over 411,000 copies in the United States as of November 2009,[10] and has also sold over 2 million copies worldwide to date. Like their first album, Stanley Climbfall was produced by Ron Aniello. The album has also been noted for being the heaviest album by Lifehouse to date. Unlike their other albums, Stanley Climbfall features a more complex and heavier rock sound. The band has not returned to this sound after this album didn't sell nearly as well as their debut No Name Face. - WIKIPEDIA

Definitely not perfect, but a bright step in the right direction, Lifehouse's sophomore project Stanley Climbfall blends hopeful faith-based lyrics with infectious melodies and strong vocal delivery on Wade's part to create a well-rounded follow-up effort.

If you liked No Name Face, rest assured you will enjoy this album. The new album, 12 songs that have relatives sound to the debut, grunge pop/rock similar to Creed. The songs on Stanley Climbfall are as catchy as you'd expect, with remarkable chorus.

what prevents Lifehouse from becoming merely humdrum is that, just like Kurt Cobain, Jason Wade knows his way round a chorus, and even further, has a knack for writing uplifting lyrics that, while clearly spiritual, never resort to over-sentimentality or didacticism.

The Stanley Climbfall album itself appeals to me greatly. Not every song is perfect, but they are all enjoyable, and this is not an album that makes me want to skip around to find my favorite tracks.

The band also knows how to dig a big chorus out of its thick dynamics when called for, a useful tactic reminiscent of Silverchair's first album and the big-gestured rock of Creed and John Cougar Mellencamp. Despite this, spread over a dozen tracks and competing with so many other bands with a similar sound, Stanley Climbfall's angsty FM grunge is exhausting.

Lifehouse has accomplished the unthinkable -- creating a second album with enough experimental substance while not straying completely away from the style that made them famous. This one concept has ruined countless numbers of acts in the past, but upcoming artists take note: Lifehouse gets it.

In all I loved the album and it wouldn’t surprise me to know that I will probably listen to it again on the train or when I feel down and need some sort of hope.

There's musicianship, there's an element of quality, but there's no oomph. This album is destined for Top 40 radio and nagging in the back of your head, because Lifehouse, despite their lack of originality, have quite a gift for hooks, but, in my book, that doesn't get you too far.

guitars crunch in the verses and soar through the choruses while Wade uses his Vedderesque baritone to dress the usual word salad of sadness, alienation, and overcoming sadness and alienation. Charming harmlessness.

this is not a bad collection of songs. I don’t think it deserves its mediocre ratings and I side with their fans who say Stanley Climbfall is a lost gem and will someday become a classic.

This album is much faster than the first album, making the best song on the album spin, with funky guitar cuts and alot harder than "Hanging By A Moment." This is an awesome album to own, I have it and so should you.
