ALBUM REVIEW: OneRepublic - Dreaming Out Loud

Date: November 16th 2007 // Author: Mike // Filed Under: Album Reviews

OneRepublic make their amassing debut with Dreaming Out Loud, set to be released November 20th off of Interscope and Timbaland’s Mosley Music Group, if your feeling any of the following material from them you should go out and pick up your copy.

With the mutual success of “Apologize” I found it cumbersome to get into this album, but after I got over the fact, it wasn’t so bad. In culmination with aesthetic arrangements this album had incredible rock ability I’d say. Production for this particular project include Ryan Tedder, Timbaland and Greg Wells on the group’s first official single lifted entitled “Mercy”.

Overall, for a debut, Dreaming Out Loud wasn’t so bad in my opinion. I think OneRepublic hit all the pro marks, respectively, for this album. An album I would definitely recommend for a solid buy. My favorite tracks, in no particular order, are “Apologize,” “Stop and Stare,” “Someone To Save You,” “Tyrant,” and “Won’t Stop”.

» COMMENTING DO'S & DON'TS

DO: Speak your mind. All of it! We're not like those other blogs who over-moderate comments and delete people's opinions just because they don't agree with what their readers have to say.
DO: Stay on topic. If the post is about the BET Awards, don't come in here talking about what you're cooking for dinner or what happened at work today.
DON'T: Bash the contributors of this blog. We created this nice place for you, so the least you can do is show us a little respect. It's not cool to bash the commenters either.
DON'T: Just post "First!" as a comment and leave it at that. Yes, it's fun being first, and we understand that. But at least post a comment to go along with that. Comments with just that one word in it will be automatically deleted.
DON'T: Link to your site, or to other sites, in your comment. If you want to promote your site, the best way to do that would be to purchase some ad space, or resort to the cheaper alternative - request to be added to the blogroll.

DON'T: Be a nuisance, and don't cause unnecessary drama. We can tell the difference between someone just stating their God-honest opinion and someone who has too much free time on their hands.
