More importantly, I wanted to add that there is a VERY OBVIOUS reason (in my opinion) for any band to spell their name in a unique fashion, and that is SEO (Search Engine Optimization). If you search “OneRepublic” you are GUARANTEED to find information about the band, and NOT the two words separately. Case closed.

And for the record, there will always be those repulsively distasteful “look-how-cool-we-are” names (Trapt, Korn, Staind, Limp Bizkit…huh, that’s interesting… their all stoopyd “nu metal” bandzzz), but the subtlety of OneRepublic’s space omission, I find quite tasteful.

Lastly, I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiments regarding the unreleased tracks. I feel quite exactly the same, and I find it painful that these songs haven’t been fed to mainstream listeners. You also missed a few non-album tracks (Trapdoor, Hearing Voices, and Something’s Not Right Here), although I gather that some (if not all) of these were released as bonus tracks on the album when purchased through various digital vendors (as was Dreaming Out Loud - which I have never seen spelled with an apostrophe).
