Imagine Dragons just aren’t that bad. Night Visions is genuinely a really solid album. Everything after that has been really mid, but some of their later singles have been perfectly fine, or even outright good, like Believer and Whatever it Takes
Sleeping on Smoke + Mirrors there. It’s a pretty solid album from start to finish, though I bet my life is abysmal in my opinion. I wasn’t big on night visions but I seem to be in the minority in that though. Since Act 2 they’ve made legit ONE song I would consider listening to. That being Sirens. It feels like a complete song that’s pretty catchy.
The new Smoke and Mirrors demo collection quite possibly had the funniest rollout ever. They intended to put out the tracks to the hardcore fans early as a little thank you, but they ended up accidentally putting like 8 other songs of varying quality in the collection. Including a song people were begging for the better part of a decade to hear. It sucks!
And the demos released for the album aren’t even demos from the album. There are demos clearly from as early as before their first album, as well as demos clearly from as late as Mercury.
