I'm sorry but i hated it. It just feels like a OneRepublic feature for the sake of it, and even so, it's called tsunami because Ryan's vocals are drowned out and are in the 2nd verse ONLY. It would've been easier to make this a Ryan Tedder feature, i heard no element of OneRepublic in it.

2/10

Beautiful Colors: 9/10 really liked the vocal skills and the energy that the piano added

Give Me Something: 8/10 feels too electronic for a OneRepublic song, but I liked it nevertheless

Need Your Love: 8.5/10 i enjoyed the high pitched background vocal saying "oh oh I need your love" and I think Zach did an amazing job on the guitar

In Your Eyes: 4/10 feels more like an Alesso song than a OneRepublic song

Pay That Toll: 7/10 didn't mind it, even if all the marketing spoiled the chorus, so when I did listen to the full song for the first time I was already knew the chorus. The band actually feels more like a band this time then just electronic pop.

Overall: Not too bad for a new era

There's a glowing tree for DOL, a weird colorful blob on WU, native animals on Native (surprisingly), Oh My My is basic as hell, Human is the best one in my opinion, and AP looks very similar to the cover for Dangerous by Michael Jackson. But what do you think is the best album cover?

Since and even before Pay That Toll came out, everyone in the comments on Tiktok and YT shorts have said it's amazing, and yes i enjoy the song, that doesn't mean i see it as a masterpiece. And if they are speaking out their opinion, good, I'm glad they enjoyed the song.

There are two main reasons for this, OneRepublic signed to a new record label, with their first song after that deal being Beautiful Colors, and before that Invincible was released before that deal, so it's highly unlikely to appear. Second reason is how Beautiful Colors will be on 1RLP7 and they can't add more than one songs from Kaiju No.8 as far as I know.

A bizarre one i had was a single with Olivia Rodrigo, i dont know how it would work but it would be interesting to listen to.

I think it's pretty good from my first listen.

So for context, Oh My My was a success for the fan base but not for outside the fan base, and Human at release was unsuccessful at both of those (Even if I did like about half the songs on it) or will their new album perform like neither of those and will be successful? I doubt that but we'll have to wait and see

Now, I don't listen to many songs from their self titled album, but when I do, I usually skip the song (I'm not a true fan, I know I know), but after listening to EAS, it's so much better. At that point it's because they've become more experienced in music and know how to make full hit albums like EAS (but that's my opinion.) I haven't listened to the deluxe of EAS, but from what I've heard about Start Over I think I should.

I'm a very new fan of 5 Seconds Of Summer, I've only ever listened to 2 of their albums, that being CALM (which I thought was a really great album) and EVERYONE'S A STAR! (which makes it into my top ten favourite albums of all time.) Now I need a new album from them to listen to, from their self titled LP, I've only listened to SLSP and English Love Affair. I've only listened to She's Kinda Hot from Sounds Good Feels Good, from Youngblood, I've only listened to Youngblood and Ghost Of You. And I've listened to no songs from 5SOS5 (I'm genuinely sorry.) So, what should I listen to next?

Do you have any clues or theories for when pay that toll will come out?

I want Japan Tour Paradise, which is an album from OneRepublic which is basically a compilation of all their songs they play at their concerts. But there's an empty spot on my shelf in between my Human Deluxe CD and my Artificial Paradise CD (yes I own the deluxe and non deluxe versions of AP) I could just buy it of Amazon, but it's an import so it's going to cost more.
