I know I could lie, but I'm telling the truth
Wherever I go, there's a shadow of you
I know I could try looking for something new
But wherever I go,...
They’re so malleable that guests Peter Gabriel and Cassius have no problem stealing the show (on throwback synth track AI and electrofunk confection Oh My My, respectively). Other songs make it too easy to imagine what a more characterful singer could have done with them.
The biggest problem with Oh My My is that OneRepublic forsakes the few characteristics that once made them relatively unique in favor of bland, done-to-death radio pop.
This a so good album, with so many sounds and different lyrics, which gives us so many feelings about the whole album.

This album wasn't going to be for everyone; as OneRepublic's most experimental and progressive venture yet, it was bound to turn some fansThis album wasn't going to be for everyone; as OneRepublic's most experimental and progressive venture yet, it was bound to turn some fans away. This nearly happened with me, mostly because this album was not was I was expecting after Native. However, after subsequent listens I discovered just how fun and emotionally rich this album was, ranging from loss (Choke) to togetherness (Let's Hurt Tonight) to hope (Future Looks Good) to belonging (Born) and so much more. I learned that OneRepublic wasn't special to me because they adhered to a specific genre; their passionate melodies and their emotionally-resonant lyrics defined them, and Oh My My hits the nail on the head in that regard. This is an easy 10/10 for me.…Expand

Um album que é diferente e um dos mais arriscados trabalhos do OneRepublic sem dúvida. O curioso é que mesmo eles sempre sendo uma banda deUm album que é diferente e um dos mais arriscados trabalhos do OneRepublic sem dúvida. O curioso é que mesmo eles sempre sendo uma banda de alt-pop/rock, é quase um choque para alguns verem Oh My My como um album completamente pop, chamando o mesmo até de "pop de rádio".
Chega a ser ofensa chamar um album como esse de "pop de rádio". É um album com um conceito questionável. Afinal, por que "Oh My My"? Por que Ryan Tedder e a banda decidiram fazer um album com uma capa minimalista e até meio brega?
O fato é que esse álbum é o de melhor exemplo para mostrar o talento como letrista, como produtor musical, como vocalista, multi-instrumentalista e qualquer coisa a mais que Ryan Tedder pode oferecer. Na minha opinião, este moço de cabelos tão "incríveis" é um dos maiores exemplos de que o pop de hoje em dia ainda tem salvação. E além de montar a sua imagem, ele melhora-a ainda mais tendo diversos outros trabalhos sendo cantados por outros artistas (como o ultimo album da Adele).
OneRepublic é uma das bandas que nunca me decepcionaram, apenas me surpreenderam durante os anos e e eu só desejo o sucesso desse album tão incrivel, dessa banda tão incrível e cada vez mais surpresas e trabalhos sensacionais como Oh My My, Waking Up e Native.…Expand
