Just finished OneRepublic's Dreaming Out Loud, impressive album for new comers. OneRebuplic not new comers per say, they already famous on popular social networking site, MySpace, since 2006. I really surprise with impact that social networking site can give these day. I think, all this happen due to high exposure within the online community. And, this is one of the best way for new comers or small budget artist to advertise or show their talent.
Back to OneRepublic; This pop rock band formed in Colorado in 2003 with Ryan Tedder (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Zach Filkins (guitar, backing vocals), Drew Brown (guitar), Tim Myers, and Eddie Fisher (drums) as a original team members. Later in 2007 Tim Myers left and replaced by Brent Kutzle (bass, cello). You can get more info on them by visit their official site or preview their song at OneRepublic MySpace page.
"Dreaming Out Loud" was their first full album. The album killer song is Apologize. Apologize lyrics is simple and straight forward. It is all about a lover who betrayed by the love one. When the love one realized and asking for sorry, the lover replied "It's too late to apologize". For me it's never late to anybody for apologize if it's bring peaceful to this world. More than half songs on this album are good and nice with the same simple straight forward lyrics. This album suitable for relax, who like simple thinking, have not too fast and no to slow, nice beats.
