![]() ![]() So as I listen to the chorus, not only do I start to bounce around to the beat of the drums, but I even start to sing along.īesides the music making me want to dance, the words of the lyrics subtly imply a different idea that adds to the dark taste of the song. My next impression is that it also reminds me of “Whatever it Takes,” a song from Evolve that I happen to love. The vocal effects aren’t normally something that appeals to me in music, but the vocals that start at “My patience is waning” and continue into the chorus are reminiscent of songs like “So Young” or “Evil Friends.” My first impression upon the second listen: this song sounds a lot like Portugal. ![]() I listen to it once, walk away for a minute, and then replay it to let go of my own held biases. So forgetting the idea of Night Visions, I take a minute to give the new single, “Bones,” a try. From “Believer” to “Natural” to “Wrecked,” every album that is released from the band always has at least one really good single. Sure, Smoke & Mirrors was okay, and I was more favorable to Evolve than most critics, but it’s not an unpopular opinion that Imagine Dragons releases some mediocre-to-crap records.īut you have to admit that they can write a darn good single. I have yet to hear an Imagine Dragons album that I can enjoy the whole way through. Imagine Dragons gets a bad rap for being the Nickelback of modern rock – and for good reason. Now open your eyes and give a listen to “Bones.” ![]() Close your eyes and disconnect your bias from the “ideal vision” of this band. Close your eyes and imagine a time where Night Visions was never released. ![]() Close your eyes and imagine a world where Imagine Dragons doesn’t exist. ![]()
