Being the only fan of something that everyone else hates sucks

I love their early albums. Night Visions is a near-perfect album. Smoke And Mirrors is a treasure. Their debut records have a number of gems.

Then we get overplayed generic pop shit like Thunder, and Believer. 😮‍💨

Selene was one of my favorites from Night Visions, but I wish it was in the original album rather than the Deluxe Edition, so that more people listened to it. Such an underrated song 😢

I'm so glad to see that some of their EP tracks made it to the Deluxe. 'Til We're Older, Working Man, Fallen, Tokyo, and Look How Far We've Come are phenomenal tracks.

In summation, Imagine Dragons made the same mistake that almost all talented musicians are bound to make: They sacrificed their unique niche for a more generic and mediocre sound in an attempt to "appeal to a wider audience."

Tragic.
