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.

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

Holding the audience captive with their intense stage presence, the Naked and Famous swayed with the sort of intensity only witnessed at the city's finest topless bars in North Minneapolis

Oh no, they're being cited as an influence. This is from a NEEDTO BREATHE email press release:
MTV praises the bands "thunderous folk-rock" and adds "the South Carolina natives have managed to infuse the contemporary, chest-thumping rock styling's of Imagine Dragons with the old-school, down-home goodness of a group like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young ... wrapped up in an ethereal, woodsy, Bon Iver

Ugh, that American Authors song has got to be one of the most god-awful hit singles in recent memory (perhaps even more unbearable than "Radioactive", which is quite an achievement)

my neighbors went to this concert a few weeks ago and came home with matching Imagine Dragon shirts.also, find it disconcerting that Google Voice to Text knows to capitalize Imagine Dragons.

listened to a few of their non-single songs mid-last year when i was trying to figure out what song was in a trailer for the 2018 chapter of the mission: impossible saga
some of their album deep cuts do... very different things. not good things, but definitely different ones

I heard the entirety of their latest album while playing board games with my parents over the holidays.
One of the songs was very drum and bass.

you can never be sure if you've listened to imagine dragons because every song is a slightly different style
which of these styles will be best for licensing in a commercial? gotta try em all
