Timabaland's signature electronic swizzles and \"eh-eh-eh\"s leave the impression that OneRepublic is a style-heavy outfit a la Maroon 5, but frontman Ryan Tedder's plaintive words and woebegone themes don't fall far from forerunners Keane, Coldplay, and the Fray. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDreaming Out Loud\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e chisels away at the dichotomy. \"Apologize,\" stripped of its swizzles, is a gorgeous modern rock song made all the more gorgeous by the urgency in Tedder's striking, unscuffed voice, and a lot of the songs on this record stack up similarly. Which is to say that, although tracks like \"Tyrant\" and opener \"Say (All I Need)\" wrap themselves around some seriously stylish production, substance is really this band's thing. A piano played by turns ferociously and tenderly drives the point home, and so do some choice lyrics; if you are inclined to choke up at feelings laid bare, check out \"Goodbye, Apathy\" and \"Come Home\" at your own risk. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e--Tammy La Gorce\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Interscope Records","offers":[{"title":"Audio Cd, November 20, 2007","offer_id":45911896817855,"sku":"0ec3300c-0fcd-45d7-8a76-df45bcecaff9","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/7550\/7647\/files\/3740cacfb9b33f3c6983db35d71fa8ce.jpg?v=1785001951","url":"https:\/\/books-prime.com\/products\/dreaming-out-loud","provider":"Books Prime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
