Waking Up (Deluxe Version) – OneRepublicView More By OneRepublic Our ReviewFollowing the success of Dreaming Out Loud, the Colorado quintet aimed hard to bypass a sophomore slump with a sonically extravagant second album. 2009’s Waking Up rebuilds the dance floor into an art gallery. The songs are laced with prominent string orchestras, gossamer children’s choirs (the same strings and kids used by Danny Elfman on his film scores) and an impressively exquisite-sounding production. “Made for You” opens with melancholy chamber pianos à la Coldplay as Ryan Tedder inflects more like Radiohead’s Thom Yorke. The song ends with cinematic sound effects that cleverly bleed into “All the Right Moves,” where Tedder’s dynamic vocal range stretches up to croon more like Justin Timberlake. A quiver of cellists christen the standout arena power-ballad “Secrets,” an over-the-top composition powered by clapping sequenced beats over which Tedder dramatically howls out confessions like it was his last day on earth. “Marchin On” is another standout where layered elements build into another fist-pumping inspirational hit. Of the four bonus cuts on the Deluxe Version, “Passenger” plays like a heroic U2 anthem.. Customer ReviewsSecond album even better than the first... (5 stars)For most bands there is a certain expectation to live up to on the sophomore album and OneRepublic went above and beyond that expectation. I was really amazed at just how much OneRepublic stepped it up with this album. If you thought their first album 'Dreaming Out Loud' was amazing, then 'Waking Up' will blow you away. Their musical talent and the purity of Ryan's voice is undeniable. They have really showed that they are in this for the lo AMAZING (5 stars) Unbelievable. Onerepublic is one of the best bands out there and this CD proves it. They did not disappoint and every song is a pleasure to listen to. Amazing CD No where close to a sophomore slump! AMAZING! (5 stars) They did it again! As if 'Dreaming Out Loud' wasn't bigtime, this Album is sure to be. The four singles released ahead of the album ('All the Right Moves', 'Everyone Loves Me', 'Good Life', & 'Secrets) are incredible and definitely the highlights on the album. Some other favorites: 'Fear', is a great mellower song with a strong piano presence. 'Waking Up' has a much more alternative rock style to it with a strong electric guita BiographyFormed: 2002 in Colorado Springs, COGenre: Rock Years Active: '00s, '10s Featuring the anthemic songwriting of Ryan Tedder, OneRepublic rose to prominence in 2007, when "Apologize" began its reign as the most popular digital download in American history. Although the song proved to be a quick success, OneRepublic had spent five years touring the musical minor leagues before its release, with Tedder splitting his time between the band's work and production gigs for other artists. Tedder and Zach Filkins formed the band in 2002 and relocated to Los Angeles shortly thereafter,...
