Aug 11, 2013This album contains song that are beautiful, catchy, and deep. Why is it so underrated? Tedder's voice, instruments, and catchy tunes combine to make the best album.

Dec 30, 2013I remember I initially hated Good Life but at this point, I do like the song a lot. All the Right Moves and Secrets are also very nice. The album as a whole is also very good too. I think the songs released as singles are the best (as they should be)

PeterE.Dec 3, 2009Very good album. I will admit that you don't really hear Tedder's true span of talent until the last half. Overall, a very catchy melodious album.

Mar 7, 2012This 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!

DanDNov 25, 2009Unfortunately I think Mr. Tedder used up his writing on songs for other artists like Beyonce and Kelly Clarkson among others. This album is a watered down version of their first album without the catchy songs.

Feb 22, 2012Second album Waking Up is a set of polished arrangements so middle of the road they make Snow Patrol sound like Animal Collective.

Entertainment WeeklyOneRepublic sophomore disc reflects that studio experience with loads of slick synth licks and jucy percussion tricks; it's much more flavorful than the band's Fray-like debut. [20 Nov 2009, p.87]

Fortunately, on OneRepublic's second album Waking Up, they've internalized a lot of the things that made Timbaland such a compelling producer--that good sounds are paramount, songs should move in odd directions and many different ideas can constitute a hook.
