ya backwards letters display youthful quirkiness and whimsy, which this group is teeming with.

Actually the E is backwards to demonstrate the beauty of symmetry.

then throw in a backwards L like cmon

am i hallucinating or is the word 'on' in a smaller font than the other words in that sentence

oops mustve slipped past my fingers

is ƎminƎm a good band

first time I heard ID I really didn't hate it, thought it had some weird drone quality that is at least slightly unique if anything. But legit every moment of all of their songs sounds exactly the same except they have gotten even more monotonous and cringey

why not call it valve

I always thought this band was bad Coldplay worship, which is really bad becaus I dislike Coldplay pretty hard

Album Rating: 1.0

Coldplay have a few good albums imo, but yeah, they're really inconsistent. And when they're bad, they're fucking annoying



Then there's Imagine Dragons who just seem to be bad all the time

Doesn't help that Mylo Xyloto was in heavy rotation on the speakers at the music store where I worked when it came out. Between that and David Guetta's Nothing but the Beat that came out around the same time, I wanted to kill myself.

One has to love how the name of "Evolve" relies on symmetry, which is a concept never represented in the album. Honestly, it's like Imagine Dragons never tries. Then again, their deepest song is "Demons," so you can't expect much. I never enjoyed Imagine Dragons, but I read the review to see why so many people are fixated on this act.

Imagine Dragons definitely seem to be immune to the concept of "trying"

Thunder is actually one of the worst songs I've ever heard. I'm not sure I understand how it got past multiple people through writing it, performing it, mixing it, and producing it only to inevitably have a label executive slap Dan Reynolds on the back and say, "Well guys, you nailed it. It's going out as your second single." It's grating, unmelodic, and with one of the cringiest and most meandering choruses in history.

That being said, "I'll Make it Up to You" is a cool bit of 80's worship. I dig it. Rest of the album is painfully generic though.

Taking into account Imagine Dragons and performance never belong in a sentence together, I understand your point. Imagine Dragons don't "perform" live. They more or less show up. You don't see them moving around or jumping at all. Then again, what energy and charisma do they have to begin with? Aside from that, critiquing their songs unbiased, you are on the spot. Imagine Dragons redefined what qualifies as generic through their factory molded sounds and unchanging lyrics. It's not the fact they are Imagine Dragons moreover the fact they aren't trying to evolve beyond their current standpoint. They pretend like they are evolving through aesthetic formulas like advertisement, but they are the same in every other aspect. The lesson from the situation is that they simply cannot evolve. They have nothing left to prove, therefore, they remain the same simply because they can.

Wow, it really is that bad...

That's Imagine Dragons for you.
