New OneRepublic!

Filed under: Listen To This


They had one of the biggest songs of 2007 with Apologize, but OneRepublic ain't no one-hit wonder.

We bought their album and it's good. Real good. It's filled with radio-friendly songs that are bound to make them one of the breakout acts of '08.

OneRepublic are like the American version of Coldplay, and that's a big compliment.

Click here to watch the just-released video for their great song Stop and Stare.

    the next coldplay? really? come on. They are just as put together as the backstreet boys in the late 90's!!! Not a real band, just another Trl band.

    Love it!!!!! Such a pretty song! One Republic won't stop at Apologize, or Stop and Stare! The whole album is gorgeous! Keep it comin'! I just wish that they couldve taken more credit for Apologize, and not Timbaland.

    this song has been out for a while, and so has this group. You're a little outdated perez.

    They're not a TRL band… The lead singer has written songs for practically everyone in the music biz, and they actually write their own music, and play their own instruments… novel idea.. Let me guess joe, you probably like britney spears

    I love you, Perez. But they are not, repeat, ARE NOT anywhere close to being Coldplay. Coldplay aren't my favorite band, but even I can say that One Republic is a pale pop cookie cutter "band" compared to them.

    Not exactly coldplay whatsoever, but I still like their song. I don't think they'll be able to top apologize though.

    they're good. but NEVER AS GOOD AS COLDPLAY.
    COME ON!!!
    it's obvious that u don't know coldplay for real.. at all.

    newsflash Perez. OneRepblic's CD came out last year on iTunes. You're a little late…regardless, OneRepublic is my favorite band since I fell in love with the powerful beats of Apologize. I agree with you 100% that they are America's Coldplay.

    Actually, their album is REALLY good. For those of you knocking them here, don't do it until you've heard their whole album and heard them live. They are very talented.

    I saw them last week in concert and they are just amazing! Great show! Nothing fancy, just the band and their music. Ryan Tedder really loves telling stories through his music. The whole album is just beautiful.
    Check out Ryan Tedder on wikipedia and you'll be surprised at all that he has accomplished as a talented musician.

    COMPARING THIS SHITE BAND TO COLDPLAY?
    ARE YOU DEAF?
    OneRepublic can't hold a candle to the talent Coldplay encompasses. As seems to be the case lately, you're WAY off the mark, Pretzel.
    Shame, shame, shame.

    so… i've seen them live a couple times… they really are amazing! but coldplay is not who i would compare them to at all. they blend alot of different things.
    but they are no colplay. and once more… they are no coldplay.

    Re: joe – ok what makes being on trl bad? they're the TOP songs in the country. it's an honor, not an insult you moron. and maybe if you listened to them, you'd know they're an amazing group.

  63. vebica says – reply to this

    Well, if you mean both bands trade in fake emotion and lethargic half-hooks, and aspire to have one tenth the weight and invention of Radiohead's second album…then I guess you're right. They ARE like Coldplay!

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! Coldplay is so annoying with Gwyn's husband and his whining. That was NOT a compiment to these guys. One Republic is much better.

    I think the lead singer sounds like George Michael. I loved Apologize, but this latest one sucks.

  74. Entertainment Weekly said it was the worst album of 2007... says – reply to this
    74

    But I must disagree. I've been had the album..you are late Perez. But yes it's good. My fave tracks are "Goodbye, Apathy" and "All We Are"

    I dont normally comment on this stuff but whoever writes the reviews of the new music and artists has 0 taste and NO EAR because this is extremely generic music and to compare them to coldplay is kinda crazy…ps thats coming from a music professional…thankya very much…

  76. J says – reply to this

    They are horrible and their songs are boring. Their album sucks ass, thankfully I didn't buy it and downloaded it.
