Imagine Dragons

I just downloaded their new album last night, and it's not bad. The only thing wrong with it is that all the songs sound alike, plus I know the radio is gonna kill and rape the shit out of this album. Because while I was listening to it I was like, "oh, there goes another hit" which isn't a bad thing. It's just I hate it when it is a hit because the radio is gonna ruin a perfectly fine song by forcing it down my throat. Overall I like it because it's a new sound. They have a variety of sounds they use, a lot involve claps with sythesizer, which i love. But then they'll throw in elements of electronic/dance/dubstep and it sounds nice.

 It's just a lot of times their lyrics don't make a lot of sense. But sometimes you don't need that in an artists. Their songs are for sure catchy as fuck though. I looked them up live for their performance of "Radioactive" (an alternative dubstep track.... the radio has already raped it) and it didn't sound how I wanted it to. The singer wasn't belting like he does in the recording and the dub wasn't there either.

Overall, I give this album a 7/10. It was very good and a chill album with a different sound for sure, but every song sounded the same and the lyrics lacked depth. Also another personal point off for me because of the live performance no where matching the recording.

Their most famous song, with elements of dubstep, "Radioactive"

And another famous song, "It's Time"
