OneRepublic
I thought the DS comments about their album, "Dreaming Out Loud", were way too harsh! There are some great songs on there...

I agree about the comments on DS being overly harsh. The reviews for the singles and the album really lay into them. Dreaming Out Loud is one of the few albums I can honestly say I like every track. Like any group they have some tracks that are slower, and others that are much more upbeat, so I don't see how they can be called lifeless. Indeed some of their tracks are anthemic, perfect for arena audiences. Certainly not what I'd call lifeless. I appreciate people have different tastes but this from the single review of Apologize from last year - Quote:
Timba' tries his hardest, bless him, to gift the trad-rockers a bit of belly and clout, offering up the mixture of layered production and measured beats that helped turn Nelly Furtado back into the pop-temptress that we all loved back in her flying like a bird days. But it's not enough to save this load of codswallop from the dustbin.
which of course was a mega-hit around the world, and received over 50 million hits on YouTube, perhaps suggests DS are in the minority when it comes to OneRepublic?

i hate like the reviews on DS. Mainly because i have never once agreed with one
they are so harsh (only giving mariah 2 stars when every other reviewer says its the best on the album )I love Stop and Stare and Say (all i need) but i have yet to hear the album. Is it worth buying on the strength of those 2 tracks? |

If you're still uncertain, get out a few more album tracks on YouTube. Most of them are there. |
