The famous pop-rock band One Republic struck gold last year with their album, Dreaming Out Loud, and released hit singles Apologize and Stop & Stare. Before Father-dear got the album, the only song I had ever heard was Apologize (the Timbaland remix), and, me being against the entire existence of teeny bop and all, I hated it at that time. Since then, however, I've grown to like it, and I have realized that it is actually one of the best songs on their CD…and it has a LOT of good songs. Here is the track list:
Mercy
Apologize
Stop & Stare
Tyrant
Sleep
Goodbye Apathy
All We Are
Someone to Save You
Dreamin' Out Loud
Too Easy
Prodigal
Coming to open the CD is the best song, Mercy. It is a fast-paced tune that really hits you with how great it is when you listen to it. Apologize is okay in its normal form, but the Timbaland remix (which is a bonus track on the album) is ironically a lot better. The third song, Stop & Stare, is actually the second best song on the CD. Unfortunately, the fourth track, Tyrant, is one of the few cruddy songs on the album…
The next track, Sleep, doesn't really do much to save it, either. That's not to say it's bad, but it's just simply "ok." Thankfully, Goodbye Apathy returns the album to greatness. The rest of the songs from that point on are great, sans the penultimate song, Too Easy.
Best Songs:
Mercy
Apologize (Timbaland remix)
Stop & Stare
Someone to Save You
Dreamin' Out Loud
Good Songs:
Apologize
Sleep
Goodbye Apathy
All We Are
Prodigal
Worst Songs:
Tyrant
Too Easy
Overall, Dreaming Out Loud receives a 4 out of 5. I don't like pop, I like One Republic! (I guess it doesn't count, though, since they're pop-rock)
