It was released on September 4, 2012, through Kidinakorner and Interscope Records. Its not that the rock recipe doesnt work, but there are often rewards for lively acts such as Imagine Dragons when they stray away from stirring together the formulaic ingredients for a radio-friendly tune. Night Visions is the debut studio album by American pop rock band Imagine Dragons. Its Time has become a successful hit partly because of its peculiar use of the mandolin to uplift what would otherwise be a song built on a conventional verse-chorus-verse backbone, but tracks like ∾very Night are too predictable with the big drums, the reverberating claps, and the upbeat piano slams. The record is ornamental in style and trite in message. Tracks like Hear Me are full in sound, but theyre forgettable because theyve been penned many times before by the glamorous arena rock outfits that sell out stadiums and don magazine spreads. Those that have stood out in previous releases - ∽emons and On Top Of The World - are still the only ones that give Night Visions any sort of crunch and edge.

Weve heard more crisp songs from them before.Īfter sneaking into the airwaves and into our summer playlists through a handful of hopeful EPs, Imagine Dragons struggles to validate its hype with Night Visions. It’s a shame that Night Visions fails to match the fresh adrenaline rush that the bands first single had promised us when we first heard it on the radio or in commercials earlier this year.
We want people to feel something when they hear our music.If you had bounced and jumped around to Imagine Dragons chorus in Its Time, you would also wait with so much excitement for the bands first full-length album. We love big and interesting rhythms, and sweeping melodies and huge choruses. “For the first time, we can say we know what our identity is, and we know this is our jumping off point for future albums.
“This is our first full length album, and we wanted to do it right,” says lead singer Dan Reynolds. hip-hop/R&B guru Alex Da Kid (Nicki Minaj, Rihanna).
The athemic 12-song set features the well received lead single "It's Time" and was produced by the Grammy-winning U.K. In addition to 'It's Time', the album also contains the singles 'Radioactive' and 'Demons'.
