Music Moment: Imagine Dragons

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's an empty blog after years of seeing it filled to the brim with posts. Which is exactly why I am now writing my third post of the evening in an effort to not make my new creation look completely barren.

What am I here to talk about? Today, I delve into one of my current favorite music groups and their album. Ladies and gents, I am way too excited to introduce you to... *insert drumroll*... Imagine Dragons!


In particular, I am here to talk about their most recent album, Night Visions.

This music group is an American indie rock band that hails from Las Vegas, Nevada. If you check them out on iTunes, you'll see that they fall under the Alternative genre. This particular class of music is usually hit or miss for me, and in this instance it was a ginormous hit.

You might be thinking: Mkay, glad you like this random band, Lacey, but I've never heard of them and I am most certainly not interested. STOP RIGHT THERE. You probably have heard one or more of their songs and have just yet to identify the artist.

Their song It's Time can be heard in the trailer for the movie The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Additionally, Radioactive can be heard in the trailer for the upcoming, sure-to-be-killer movie The Host.

Here are a couple of my favorite songs from the album. If you can't quite justify purchasing the whole album, you should at least download these:

  • Radioactive: By FAR my favorite. The beat is so jarring and addictive and momentous, and it has such an intense vibe to it.
  • Nothing Left to Say/Rocks: This song has an odd combination of two songs in one. It's kind of hard to explain until you listen to it first hand. The lyrics of this song were what got to me...although the actual music is phenomenal, as always.
  • Demons: So. Dang. Catchy. And lyrical. That is all.
The other songs are all wonderfully crafted as well, and overall it is such an entertaining album. Certainly worth the buy, and it comes highly recommended!

RATING: 5/5 stars
