Where this album fits
- In the catalog
- Deep Cut — A solid single that showcases Lifehouse's sound but isn't a major milestone.
- Career context
- By the release of Flight in November 2014, Lifehouse had established themselves as a significant player in alternative rock, following their 2012 album, Almería.
