On The Prowl - Loudness

Advantages: Ryan Tedder's vocals, "Apologize"
Disadvantages: Not a lot of variety.

...If, like me, you've heard "Apologize" the song which seems to have permanently lodged itself onto radio and charts around the world, then you probably know of One Republic. A band based in California, their debut album 'Dreaming Out Loud' is sure to be a hit based on the first single alone. 01. Say (All I Need) - Great opener with an impressive drum beat toward the end which brings an otherwise average ballad to life. 02. Mercy - A nice enough ballad, but fails to make any impact. 03.

...Play it LOUD - Various Artists After seeing the advert on TV regualary i bought the CD from a leading supermarket, this cost me about £11.99 and this was when it had just come out on the market, which i thought was a fair price for what you get, you get 2 cds, in a very nice decorated case which shows some fancy graphics with a man with headphones on listening to music looking up at the more well known band names on the cd's which are presented in bold capital writing, to give it a loud effect. Each cd includes 20 tracks which are listed below CD 1 = Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby Klaxons - Golden Skans The Killers - Bones Fall Out Boy - This Ain't A Scene It's An Arms Race The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger The Automatic - Raoul Oasis - Live Forever Stone Roses - I Am The Resurrection Hard...
