I think melodically it sounds not unlike a Coldplay tune.

timellison, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 18:10 (ten years ago) link

I heard a tiny bit of one song this morning, it was pretty dull, I thought they were suppose to be a "rock band"?

People embrace the post-apocalypse these days. Also, prison dramas. And mediocrity.

"Radioactive" was just in the right place at the right time, the world was ready for grungestep

some dude, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 18:42 (ten years ago) link

Radioactive isn't bad for 10 seconds until the horrorshit goes fecalith

VENIET IMBER (imago), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 18:44 (ten years ago) link

I've never heard this band. I know they are Mormon just from their name.

two weeks pass...

This is the thread where we never listen to Imagine Dragons

^ this song (Anna Kendrick's Cups, not imagine dragons, obvs) is being taught in our nation's schools. My 4th-grader brought it home with him and this is the rhythm that's been driving our weekend.

i had no idea that that horrible kingdom come song i've been hearing absolutely everywhere and hating 24/7 is by them, what a disgusting piece of shit jfc

I have just knowingly listened to Imagine Dragons for the first time. They are rotten.

I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Sunday, 26 January 2014 15:34 (ten years ago) link

Seeing them on Saturday Night Live. Ugh, except for guest Kendrick Lamar.

curmudgeon, Sunday, 2 February 2014 05:13 (ten years ago) link

2nd song was even worse-- the worst aspects of '90s and 2000s era commercial rock

curmudgeon, Sunday, 2 February 2014 05:51 (ten years ago) link

not my style of rock

"Imagine Dragons tie a vaunted Billboard Hot 100 record this week, as "Radioactive" logs its 76th week on the survey. The sum ties the mark established by Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" in 2008-09."

this is some achievement.

Daniel, Esq 2, Wednesday, 12 February 2014 20:24 (ten years ago) link

despite my best efforts, i've heard this band before. it's pretty grim, this nu-grunge.

Daniel, Esq 2, Wednesday, 12 February 2014 20:25 (ten years ago) link

one month passes...

well, this live review might have made it all worth it:

haha mainstream pop fans amirite

katherine, Thursday, 13 March 2014 22:56 (ten years ago) link

this band is horrible

gimme the lute (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 13 March 2014 23:09 (ten years ago) link

not a fan of them but shit like "Although the audience was young, the amount of children present proves that the average Imagine Dragons fan is an enlightened and advanced being -- as this is a serious band of serious musicians, most certainly only capable of being understood by adult intellectuals" come on

katherine, Thursday, 13 March 2014 23:10 (ten years ago) link

i thought there were lots of funny lines but i guess i don't really give a shit about the message or w/e

gimme the lute (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 13 March 2014 23:36 (ten years ago) link

I'm still pure I think. People were talking about them at work today though.

tylerw, Thursday, 13 March 2014 23:59 (ten years ago) link

gimme the lute (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 14 March 2014 00:10 (ten years ago) link

everyone who thinks they haven't heard them has heard "demons" a million times

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Friday, 14 March 2014 00:37 (ten years ago) link

bet you five bucks I haven't heard a note of it

(or if you must, "data") (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Friday, 14 March 2014 00:41 (ten years ago) link

since i'm damaged goods & will die broke and alone i'm listening to this demons song now

i don't think i heard it before

but i did see them on SNL so they probably did this if it's a big hit

gimme the lute (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 14 March 2014 01:16 (ten years ago) link

this is so gross

gimme the lute (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 14 March 2014 01:17 (ten years ago) link

I was trying to figure out where this venue "ShitFuck's" was, and it took me a couple of tries before I realized Shakey Mo meant San Francisco.

death and darkness and other night kinda shit (crüt), Friday, 14 March 2014 15:07 (ten years ago) link

i would love to live in the head of that reviewer for just a few minutes.

(it's a parody)

global tetrahedron, Friday, 14 March 2014 16:47 (ten years ago) link

lol xp = city pages review has to be an elaborate put-on, right?

tylerw, Friday, 14 March 2014 16:48 (ten years ago) link

it's extended sarcasm #normcore-level wanking

katherine, Friday, 14 March 2014 17:28 (ten years ago) link

makin' fun of the squares, eh? I'll show him and listen to imagine dragons.

Hello, I am currently listening to Etron Fou Le Loublan.

Mark G, Friday, 14 March 2014 18:32 (ten years ago) link

i had no idea it was even possible to miss the 'point' of that review, it was ladled on pretty thick

still alive, but charged with murder (some dude), Friday, 14 March 2014 19:43 (ten years ago) link

i can't remember what song these guys do and what songs monsters and men do but they are all slightly post-apocalyptic sounding chanty anthemic things. when I turn on the radio these days it's like being at a nazi rally there's so much chanting and shit going on. there I said it.

akm, Friday, 14 March 2014 23:17 (ten years ago) link

it's like, write an alternative rock radio hit in two minutes: chant chant chant whistle whistle whistle chant chant chant whistle wee wee

akm, Friday, 14 March 2014 23:18 (ten years ago) link

should I write songs like this? maybe I would sell more than five records if I did.

akm, Friday, 14 March 2014 23:18 (ten years ago) link

If Imagine Dragons = Mackerelmore, does Drake = Dave Mathews Band?
