    Ultimately, OneRepublic takes what all of those bands already do and pushes it to an even lower common denominator of slick, disposable melodrama.

    The second studio album by OneRepublic, 'Waking Up' is all about pure music and Tedder's heavenly falsetto adds an unique taste to it. The soothing acoustic flavor along with organic sounds, skip-beat drums and multi-layered synth remains all over the album. So, even if you try to define them with Fray-like chorus, and Maroon 5-like vocal acrobatics, they'll be humble enough to sing, "Don't care if critics ever jump in line/I'm gonna give all my secrets away".… Full Review »

    This album is great! Songs to listen to are, Secrets, Good Life, All the Right Moves, and Waking Up. These songs are amazing along as all the rest of the songs on the album. It is much better than their first album. Buy Now!… Full Review »
