Just take “Bones,” their latest crossover hit from 2022’s Mercury - Acts 1 & 2. It all feels like a simulation – weird, crazy, just like, ‘OK! What does that even mean?’”Īnd yet, despite the steady string of chart-toppers, mind-blowing statistics and enormous worldwide fandom, it can feel like the Dragons have also somehow spent the entirety of their career flying under the radar - or, at the very least, outside the glow of critical acclaim and serious media consideration.
“When it’s so wild like that, I think there’s no way to wrap your head around it. Plus, Imagine Dragons have jam-packed their debut album with so many arena-sized anthems that ‘Night Visions’ comes off as an “all killer, no filler” type of record. These are all valid points that can be raised as to why this band has become successful thus far and why they have gotten almost universal critical acclaim.“We typically don’t talk numbers much, because it’s just… I don’t even know that it’s overwhelming, we just don’t, really,” says Reynolds, his brow furrowed. There are distinguishable differences between the two bands musically and not only on “paper.” For one, Imagine Dragons have successfully incorporated their folk influences from their Indie roots into their mainstream songs when it comes to the usage of instruments strongly identified to Folk music and the range of themes they explore. The two aforementioned former Indie bands have been compared frequently to each other just because they happen to originate from the same place but their performing style, musical influences and how they put emphasis on the creation of their songs set them apart from each other. Well, what most of us know by now is that Imagine Dragons is also another band that hails from Las Vegas and of course has been compared to another great native band from that area and that is none other than The Killers.
