I would also recommend that you look at the artwork for their album Smoke + Mirrors. With my overzealous knowledge of their discography I would like to suggest a few songs to you: “Dream,” “30 Lives”-a song with an orchestral component that varies from the bands usual sound-and “West Coast”, a song on their most recent album that resembles the folk genre with acoustic guitar. The band has dozens of songs outside of their radio hits that are much better. But, these are the songs that manage to become popular outside of their dedicated audience, so it is your fault, and, actually, these songs are written by the same people, so of course they will sound similar. Yes their radio worthy songs are very similar: “Radioactive,” “Thunder,” “I Bet My Life,” and “Natural”. Imagine Dragons, a rock band consisting of Ben McKee, Daniel Platzman, Dan Reynolds and Wayne Sermon, gained major popularity in 2012 after the release of their hit song “Radioactive.” A common opinion on Imagine Dragons is that their music all sounds the same, and the few songs that manage to escape the monotony lack sentiment. I know it seems manic, but I feel that this lunacy leaves me in a unique position to analyze the bands recent fall from grace. I personally know 105 songs by Imagine Dragons, I did not include song covers they have released. I would like to state upfront that I disagree with this opinion, as Imagine Dragons are my favorite band I also never truly agreed that Nickelback was terrible. Corey Taylor, the front man for Slipknot, recently stated that Nickelback has handed their position as the most hated rock band to Imagine Dragons.
