God, this is why I love Imagine dragons...there's always that ONE moment in the song where it suddenly bursts into the sound of a billion angels, and I get chills and I get all inspired and crap.
Ever since Night Visions, I've been loving Imagine Dragons and last year I had the opportunity to go to one of their concerts. It was absolutely incredible. I really like this new song and I'm so excited for their second album to come out! Hopefully they go on another tour, because I would love to see them play live again.
I mean, if you like general mediocre singing, but I understand singing isn't the focus of the song, but more of the feeling theme that the music and sound of his voice represents.
Marcus Gainer Mediocre? His range is unreal & his pitch, unshakable. I don't think you understand the difference between your personal preference and real technique.
Don't understand when ppl say that this is different from their other songs. Personally I do not think so, this song screams Imagine Dragons to me. You can really tell that all the elements that make up Imagine Dragons music is in this song. I love it and I can't wait for the whole album to be released.
Took the words right out of my mouth! Best moment/night of my life was their concert that I went to in Sydney. I cried because I couldn't get tickets, but luckily there was that angel on Ebay xD
I totally agree, I've never met a song I've shaken my head at. They are so inspirational and motivating. They've gotten me through a lot, and they're music is always enjoyable, as well!
For those who think they got mainstream..this song is just like folk music, what they've been making since they established the band..I don't know if you remember "Rocks" or "Clouds" or "Destination" maybe "Thirty lives" and "It's Time" could be a great example for that Imagine Dragons who started this beautiful fame that they have now..but yeah, many "NEW" fans cannot appreciate the band itself because they always expect some kind of similarity to Radioactive and to Demons..but folks, THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, PURE IMAGINE DRAGONS!
Just like I heard "The River" at very first time I knew Imagine Dragons.. And when I listen to this song, then I say "ah finally!" :) :) Love love love, pure Imagine Dragons!
I've been a fan since the beginning and I absolutely love this song!!! It's different and original, like they said awhile back!!! Don't call yourself a fan if you're gonna say you life their "old stuff", that's not something a fan would say!!! You've only heard this one song from the new album and already you're saying you don't like this!!! This album is going to be amazing, I hope it comes out on my birthday next year!!! :D
zach henry I wish that, like, all our (the fans') birthdays were squished into one day and Imagine Dragons released their album on it but it was also Christmas. xD Okay I sound like a seven-year-old bye.
I've loved imagine dragons since before they became really famous, and I'll always love them. I love every one of their songs from beginning of their career to anything they will release.
Laura Augustaitis thejmiester14 My friend showed me that song, and I heard as a part of the trailer for the Host. So once I was watching TV, and that came on and I was like; "Why is this song so familiar?" so I looked it up and I have loved Imagine Dragons ever since :)
How dare they decide to grow and explore something different. Change is bad. Lets shame them for not being boring like 90% of artists out there by staying exactly the same and sounding exactly the same.
I always get annoyed when people complain about wanting the "old" band, singer, actor, whatever. Things evolve, people! Can you imagine if this band, or any other artist(s) wrote songs that were always similar to one another, never changing it up? It would be boring and dull, that's why every song has it's own uniqueness!
Oh my goodness some of these comments crack me up. You guys can't be serious with the "new" vs "old" Imagine Dragons comments..or the "They've gone mainstream" comments...They've released one album..There is no "old" Imagine Dragons yet and this song fits in with their style perfectly. It sounds just like them, which is a mainstream sound. They have catchy tunes, I love them, but ya'll are F'n silly. They've always been mainstream. Their first album was a massive hit, everyone friggin likes them; mainstream.
Siks Wifey People are comparing new versus old because Imagine Dragons has/have been around since, technically, 2008. That's six years sweetheart (Haymitch voice there okay bye). In that time they've released more that 35 songs, 4 plus EPs, many singles, and one-and-almost-two albums. Their first song wasn't Radioactive; they spent years building up to it with songs like All Eyes and Emma. People are just saying that their old style was more indie than their new style. {Also, side-note, not everybody likes them.} However, I do agree that they're "mainstream" now.
Actually, they've been around for quite a while and haven't "always" been mainstream. I knew of them long before they were that "massive hit" when they were an opening band for one that was very indie but broke up about a year before ID took Night Visions "mainstream". When I finally got to see them live in 2012, it was at a tiny little place that held maybe 75 people max. A year later I tried to get a ticket to their show at a venue that holds close to 3K people and couldn't get a ticket to save my life as they'd sold out in presale in less than an hour. That all being said, I quite like this new tune! Can't wait for a full album!
35 songs? Six years? You've got to be kidding me. Like I said, they aren't an old band. Their sound has been consistent. It's nothing like the difference between garage days Metallica and the black album (for ONE instance). Every band starts somewhere but rising from freshcuts to mega stardome in 6 years does not an old band make. Of you're known worldwide in less than 5 years, you're mainstream. It's not a bad thing.
People need to understand that: -If you don't like a song/band, you don't need to criticize it. -Being an older fan doesn't makes you a better fan. -Mainstream music isn't bad just because it's popular. -Imagine Dragons (or any other band/artist) are NOT going to change their new style because you don't like it. Thank you very much.
Nobody noticed how Dan's voice is so fucking perfect even if he sings something very different from what we are used to listen to? And "New" and "Old" Imagine Dragons... bullshit. First of all they told from the very beginning that the new album would be different. And you know what? That's cool! They are great and with this song they show they can change styles and always be amazing!
I can already tell this album is going down as one of the best of 2014. And not just because I love Imagine Dragons. Because this is fresh. Right on guys!
The range in vocals, instruments and just general music style with this band is incredible! From Demons, to Radioactive, to On Top of The World, to It's Time, Battle Cry, Bleeding Out, and so many others, to this, its just amazing what you guys have done and can still do! Looking forward to an awesome album :D
been waiting for this song to come out! I follow them on Instagram and they were sending out these codes that didn't make sense but if u look closely is says "I bet my life." but u must read it backwards. I'm so happy how it came out! 10/10
I feel bad for musical artists. If they don't change up their sound fans complain every song sounds the same but when they do try a new sound fans complain it doesn't sound like their old material. I've realized that these "fans" just want to complain. I love this song and am excited for the new album
Here's my review 1-A high lighted alt-rock song with a touch of folk,country and pop 2-The lyrics are great! but the chorus is sounds like The Lumineers 3-Weak instrumental ,the bridge is ok 6.8 \ 10 They released this as a single cuz it's more poppy and happy after a lot of dark soundtracks i think the rest of the album will be more rock and dark as den reynolds said in an interview
Zachary Gratschmayr dude.. I bet you don't know The Lumineers to say such thing. Sorry but, I love Imagine Dragons, since The EPs, but I didn't like that much this song. Don't know why, but I feel that is not Imagine Dragons the way they were before. And The Lumineers is a perfect band. Their melody and lyrics are extremely beautiful, they sound different from the other bands, they're unique. And this song is not compared to their songs. Trust me.
To all of you saying the song sound too different, or 'new'... You obviously don't know imagine dragons. If you compare even the songs from their old album (ex: radioactive to on top of the world) you'll know that while many of their songs have a similar sound, a lot are different. They like to have variety which is a good thing, and maybe why they have so many fans (they appeal to different groups). Some of their songs are slow, some fast, some happy, some sad. That's how they do it so in that sense, 'I bet my life' isn't all-new and completely unexpected, just different. Besides, how can you guys tell that the entire album will be 'different' after only hearing one song? This song was actually better then I expected. It's good for them to add another upbeat song to their collection. I do, however, hope they include more slow and depressing type songs again like 'bleeding out' or 'hear me'. I love the songs that deal with Dan's previous (or current?) depression and anxiety. I feel he puts a lot of emotion in them.
Imagine Dragons have never let me down with their music (and I have heard, and listened to, them all) and it is the same with this song...loving it! They are just amazing!!
An Imagine Dragon fan since day 1 and I will always be. The release of this new song brings happiness to me. Seeing them progress these past years its amazing because real music is being recognized. Now I am looking forward to all their new music and I will always stay true to night visions. Night Visions will never be forgotten. Let the new album be release!!
I loved them ever since Night Visions and I still love them now. Yes, their sound has changed but every band's sound changes after a while. I still think it's freaking incredible and it still has their personal touch. This band's music defines me and I will always support them. Can't wait for the next album
I know I took the path that you would never want for me I know I let you down, didn't I? So many sleepless nights where you were waiting up on me Well I'm just a slave unto the night Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me Remember when I broke you down to tears I know I took the path that you would never want for me I gave you hell through all the years So I, I bet my life, I bet my life I bet my life for you I, I bet my life, I bet my life I bet my life for you I've been around the world and never in my wildest dreams Would I come running home to you I've told a million lies but now I tell a single truth There's you in everything I do Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me Remember when I broke you down to tears I know I took the path that you would never want for me I gave you hell through all the years So I, I bet my life, I bet my life I bet my life for you I, I bet my life, I bet my life I bet my life for you Don't tell me that I'm wrong I've walked that road before And left you on your own And please believe them when they say That it's left for yesterday And the records that I've played Please forgive me for all I've done So I, I bet my life, I bet my life I bet my life for you I, I bet my life, I bet my life I bet my life for you I, I bet my, I bet my, I bet my I, I bet my, I bet my, I bet my
I've been a fan since imagine dragons EP, when hardly anyone knew of them. I miss it. Everything was better, especially the music, now they are trying to live up the to the standards that's been set by radioactive and it's time, there two worst songs in my opinion. It's sad to see it but the old EP's were the best, I'm not too sure about this one. It's also sad how most of the people around now a days that call themselves fans only know radioactive and it's time, the people that only care about what's in the charts annoy me, a lot.
Oh fuck off. Yeah take your hipster cred and fuck off. Continued Silence is a god damn masterpiece. Night Visions is a god damn masterpiece. Their singles for movie soundtracks are stellar. Imagine Dragons is only getting better with time. I don't see how anyone can think the early EPs were on anywhere near the same level as the new stuff.
How? Dude this is so different compared any band out there. Just stop. If you were a true fan from the beginning you would stay a fan and follow and support their direction. I love what they are doing and how much they have grown as a band.
Well, they have new audience now, they're making music for everyone to love and feel identified with and I think that´s cool. This is not something about ''Who's a Fan'' or Who's not. Just enjoy their music and that's it.
i'm in love with EVERYTHING imagine dragons put out and this is no exception. i love their music, i love their voices, i love their talent. i remember i saw them in atlantic city and it was only a couple hundred of people, now they're playing stadiums with tens of thousands of people. i am so proud of what they have done in a few short years!!! the first album was fantastic and i feel this album will be just as good!! :)
i just saw people say that it's not good enough, like the older songs of them are better, or dislike a lot... It's a new one of them and there are already haters, or unsatisfied people, but guys, just open your mind... they can't do the same songs all the time, night visions was perfect, but they use new style, kind of new beats, but it's close of what they have done before. (my opinion) this song is great, I love it, and I am not disappointed, I am pretty sure that "i bet my life" is the start of a new album which seems very amazing
Love the song. Love it. My only issue with it was that when I first listen to it on my earphones walking down the street I kept thinking someone was screaming/shouting behind me because of the voices haha!
Half life is a video game series. It is made by a company called Steam and Steam has never made a 3rd game of any series. So there is Portal 1 and 2 no 3. Same with Half Life. People have started making fun of it because there is no 3rd game.
I hate this whole 'new' and 'old' imagine dragons thing. This is their sound. Personally, I was relieved when I heard this song because I felt as if with recent movie soundtrack songs etc. (Battle Cry, Warriors...) they were changing their sound but this song stays true to Night Visions.
I think flexibility is one of those things about ID that I love the most. They can do all these epic songs, and yet they remain true to their sound. Agh, they're amaziiiing :3
I still think Battle Cry and Warriors were still great though (even though I thought Battle cry needed another verse). The reason why they sound different is because they are more focused on hard rock instead of regular rock (What else do you expect from a song that was made for a transformers movie).
They make their own music. You shouldn't be judging them off their one album. I think all their music is great. It gives a message and doesn't have inappropriate lyrics or fake music. Warriors and Battle Cry are great songs. Imagine Dragons are doing what they should be doin. ROCK ON!
Seriously, you guys never cease to amaze me. Everyone in the music industry has the SAME sound and same style 100% of the time, but you guys mix it up! You incorporate different style, different genres and appeal to all kinds of people. Every song is unique and has a different sound. And your words actually mean something!! It's never been about fitting a perfect mold of what people expect from the genre of rock... it's just about the music and reaching out to people through it with true talent. You guys are an inspiration and will always be my absolute favorite band. Keep doing yo thanggg. (:
In the past, I have been disappointed by so many second albums that I was really nervous about Imagine Dragons's starting to make more music. But once again Imagine Dragons has captured my taste with their music! I am already in love with this song
Personally, I think it's on par with the songs on Night Visions. I've been so disappointed by some of my favourite band's new music recently (bastille) and Imagine Dragons still have not let me down. This is brilliant, this is.
Understandable. VS wasn't their best, but in my opinion, it did have really good songs like "Bite Down" and "Axe To Grind." In all honesty, some of the collaborators seemed to be the weak points in the mixtape. But hey, I have hopes that their new album will rock like _All This Bad Blood_ did.
Best song out there right now. Anyone who thinks other wise, doesn't understand music. Those saying "This song let me down and I expected more..." should just stfu. This is what you call, change for the better. Their music evolves with every single. Each one is unique and creative. Many artists nowadays release dull tracks that are similar to their previous ones. These guys innovate with every track. If you are incapable of adapting to change, then maybe Imagine Dragons isn't the band for you.
Seriously, Night Visions blew me away. I remember the joy I felt buying this at my music shop. That music shop has disbanded and that caused me great internal pain. I have a lot of great memories there, bought many great albums. I remember listening to this track and I couldn’t tell you how I felt. Night Visions is one of my favorite albums, ever. I love when they release new music because it’s consistently good. Thunder, this, bad liar, etc. please keep making music!
*coughs* Hipster please, calm down. If saying you saw them before they were mainstream is more important than the actual band itself-then you can go away, you clearly mustn't have liked them.
All you "real fans" need to stop calling other new fans bandwagons! & if anything you guys should appreciate and be thankful they exists because that's what's going to help them stay together as a band & continue making albums. Just cause some of you knew them before they became main stream doesn't mean that their new fans are bandwagons. We're just apart of a fandom that appreciates talent & greatness.
I used to be on the "This is the only bad song the Dragons have ever made" train, but then after a few listens it's stuck on me... So I don't understand where all of this hate is coming from, they stated that although it would be rock oriented, there would also be song other genres mixed in, so appreciate what they're giving us.
Excelente, ya quiero que publiquen la fecha para el nuevo álbum... Un sonido un poco diferente a Night Visions y mucho mas a sus antiguos EPs que sólo los fans conocemos, pero me encanta que tengan la seguridad de probar nuevas cosas porque saben que sus fans verdaderos estaremos ahí! EXCELENTE, ME ENCANTO! 👏
Exacto, hay algo nuevo pero siguen conservando su toque tan particular, amo Night Visions, amo los EPs y estoy amando este nuevo álbum, siempre apoyandolos :)
So happy to see new stuff again. I'm expecting an early 2015 album release considering they're far enough along to have a single. Although there are some questionable features of this song, it still has a powerful beat and you get used to it after a few times, at least from my perspective. I think it's too early to already be judging them for this and we should just wait and see what the future holds. I personally have faith in this band to do good, and I hope I get to see the, in concert again for this upcoming album. Here's to Imagine Dragons 2015!
How the hell does a band manage to change the feel and sound of their music on a dime and still sound great? I love Night Visions, Smoke + Mirrors, and Evolve. Like, HOW?!?
I loved Night Visions, I'm totally in love with Battle Cry and Warriors, but I still like this song. Ok, first time I listened to it I wasn't so pleased. But then I appreciated it.This is actually quite good for me! :) Oh, and please, shut up about "old" Imagine Dragons. Seriously, they just try new things, there is no old or new! Just an awesome band... :)
I honestly don't understand why people don't like this song! For starters I get that it's their opinion, but I think that it's a really great song! When I first heard it I loved it and I was so excited that they had some new stuff! They have definitely evolved since their first album and EPs. Now you people can go ahead and hate on me, but let me remind you that this is my opinion, and it's okay if you disagree, you just don't have to make it known to the world.
Maybe they want to do something different, and besides "on top of the world" wasn't dark and it was a hit. People need to stop being hipsters and wanting old stuff
Ben o'hern to be fair, people need to stop wanting the band to make something that their fans want. Let em make the music they want. Besides, this song is pretty cool too! ^-^
Hahaha, everyone complaining that they're becoming 'less accessible' and 'too alternative' know absolutely nothing. This is pure and utter pop. Listen to the lyrics, the mixing where the voice is so much louder than everything, the repetitive chorus, etc. Just because it contains a quiet bridge and a few guitars doesn't make it any less pop, guys...
Please someone explain to me why so many people are saying that they are such "old" fans and that this song isnt as good as their "old" stuff? Imagine Dragons has been around since 2008. That is 6 years ago. Count them. 6 years ago is nothing. People are making this band sound like they have been together since pre 2000, like Train, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, or any other big band that came out in the 90's. Imagine Dragons is still a "new" band compared to the great bands of music, such as The Beatles, Rolling Stone, The Eagles, Prince, or the other famous bands of all time . So for all the people out there saying that people who like this song only like it because they dont know how they used to sound, shut the fuck up. Who cares, seriously. Everyone here is here to listen to an amazing band play another great song. One last thing if you have known Imagine Dragons since they released their first EP, congrats for you, you have known an amazing band since the beginning and i wish i found out about them back then, but dont go bragging around that you are so much better than everyone who just found them when Night Visions released because that was their first commercial success, so of course a crap ton of people will find out about them from that. You are not better than anyone who just found out about them. Enjoy the damn song and support whatever they release because not every song is going to be as good as Demons, Bleeding Out, It's Time, or any other of their hits. Im not saying this is their best song because it is not, and im not saying that i have been around since the beginning, i havnt. I found out about them in mid 2012. So yes im a "new" fan, but hey how about people stop being like "oh you are new you dont understand what they used to be like" and start being like "welcome to the fan base, glad to have you support this great band". The members of Imagine Dragons are humans and write the best songs they can so support them if you are a true fan and stop bitching.
I completely agree!! I just don't like the people who claim to be huge fans but have only heard demons, radioactive, and it's time... it's like no! I may be new but I've heard their music they are way beyond those 3 songs and have even better songs in my opinion or better at least!
They're just copying me. I mean, I can't blame them, I'm just such a trend setting hipster. I'm completely joking and playing off my original comment that did basically spark everyone else mentioning being an "old fan" & their eps. I somewhat understand where they're coming from but it's obnoxious and pretentious. I feel like they mention those things because: 1: Everyone else is talking about it. 2: They miss the originality of Imagine Dragons. or 3: They're just copying everyone else. I personally, feel like they could have done so much more with this song. It sounds so much like other songs that it gets people thinking about the band. How they used to do things completely different from the rest and didn't follow trends (the general style/sound is trending and is a bit generic at this point). While, yes, it is their own take on common trend, it's just hard to be original when so many others have done it before. It all goes back to the core of the band, which is their originality and diversity. While, yes it's diverse (for them) it's unoriginal and reminds people of what the band was. How they would do things that not many other bands were doing. How they had a very distinct sound while still being extremely diverse. I feel like they were just disappointed but it might just be me. Also, a lot of people were just hating on chart top listeners (people that only listen to their ms songs) but subconsciously were guided to mention their EPs or being an "older fan," but that strayed away from their main point. This is a bit jumbled but I hope you get the point I'm trying to make.
Some people think its bad because its not Imagine Dragons style maybe. But if a other unknown singer made this it would be nice. Its a little bit like the Advanced Warfare discussion u know. (Sorry for my bad english im dutch :p)
Chris Buskey That is so very true. I know so many people that say they love this band, but you mention any other song than Radioactive and Demons and they have no clue what it is. Most of those people are what skinnyweirdguy said, people that just follow the top 100 charts. One thing that is really sad about these people too is that they will hear this song, go ehhh i dont like it and then stop listening to Imagine Dragons all together.
Julien Van Rooij The only thing is that no bad should have only one style. If you look at The Beatles they went through multiple different phases of music that all sounded different and people still loved them and their songs. Granted they were the Beatles, but most bands do the same thing. And if you read interviews by Imagine Dragons they said they wanted to make music that sounded different than what was on Night Visions, so thats what they did. But that is a very true point about Advanced Warfare
I usually listen to this song with headphones, and every time that voice at 2:49 pops up, I immediately whip my head to the right to see who made that noise. It's totally reflexive...
God, this is why I love Imagine dragons...there's always that ONE moment in the song where it suddenly bursts into the sound of a billion angels, and I get chills and I get all inspired and crap.
I agree
The part that brings us all here
Same🎉
best bit's where he shouts i bet my life
yes, his English is fine
His English is fine tf you talking about?
Yea that hit different
Ever since Night Visions, I've been loving Imagine Dragons and last year I had the opportunity to go to one of their concerts. It was absolutely incredible. I really like this new song and I'm so excited for their second album to come out! Hopefully they go on another tour, because I would love to see them play live again.
Their concerts are fantastic ... just awesome
I saw them in January
THIRTY YEARS AND NOW HES BACK
THE MYSTERY IN THE MYSTERY SHACK
Iary Smith OOOOHHHHHHH
(Gravity Falls reference?)
EeveeDash, Taco Goddess fuck yeah this song reminds me so much of the original mystery twins
Iary Smith Yus XD
YOU BEAT ME TO IT SHIT I SWEAR I WAS GONNA COMMENT THIS oMFG
Paper Wirt NERDS THINK ALIKE
Not bad, not bad, Imagine Dragons is still going strong.
Also try warriors
I like Monster, warriors not so much, I really don't like battle cry.
Tapabrata Ghosh Warriors is good , but I agree with you on battle cry. Maybe its because I have such high expectations of Imagine Dragons!
just one more time before i go, i should let you know... that all this time you've been so deaf and wouldn't let it sho-o-o-o-ow
***** or Who we are
The concept, beautiful. The production, imaginative. All together, freaking fantastic.
I mean, if you like general mediocre singing, but I understand singing isn't the focus of the song, but more of the feeling theme that the music and sound of his voice represents.
Marcus Gainer Mediocre? His range is unreal & his pitch, unshakable. I don't think you understand the difference between your personal preference and real technique.
You're sarcastic, very....I like you.
Don't understand when ppl say that this is different from their other songs. Personally I do not think so, this song screams Imagine Dragons to me. You can really tell that all the elements that make up Imagine Dragons music is in this song.
I love it and I can't wait for the whole album to be released.
Well hey there fellow FIREBREATHER
How could this song let so many people down? I was hyping as much as you did, but I like it very much! :D
I love it! I don't know why people hate it.
We were expecting something like there old music.
Honestly I just like him talking in his songs. I don't know why.
Hey, I love this song anyways.
This song sucks
There's not a single song by them that isn't amazing, and that's why they're my favorite band. I literally love EVERY song, and that's rare.
AMEN
Took the words right out of my mouth!
Best moment/night of my life was their concert that I went to in Sydney.
I cried because I couldn't get tickets, but luckily there was that angel on Ebay xD
preach
I totally agree, I've never met a song I've shaken my head at. They are so inspirational and motivating. They've gotten me through a lot, and they're music is always enjoyable, as well!
Couldn't agree more!!!!!!!!!
I can already tell this is gonna be one of those songs that gets overplayed on the radio
So enjoy it while it's still good.
***** For me, radioactive did.
If it's a good song I'll sing along every time haha
Lampa_CZ If Radioactive was ruined by the radio for you, listen to the London Session version. That one is amazing.
best part 0:01 - 3:13
Yes!!
Omg that part is amazing XD
Kitana Bird wrong 0:00 - 3:13 is the best part
0:00 - 3:13
No no he's got a point
(For those of you who didn't know) The lead singer wrote this about his mother. Now listen to the song again. Whole different perspective.
PhoenixPoptart holy shit
Wow.
i think it was parents, both of em
To be fair, it's kinda easy to guess it's for their parents. I did before I saw your comment
u kind of don't know that
For those who think they got mainstream..this song is just like folk music, what they've been making since they established the band..I don't know if you remember "Rocks" or "Clouds" or "Destination" maybe "Thirty lives" and "It's Time" could be a great example for that Imagine Dragons who started this beautiful fame that they have now..but yeah, many "NEW" fans cannot appreciate the band itself because they always expect some kind of similarity to Radioactive and to Demons..but folks, THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, PURE IMAGINE DRAGONS!
True!
I LOVE YOU
Just like I heard "The River" at very first time I knew Imagine Dragons.. And when I listen to this song, then I say "ah finally!" :) :)
Love love love, pure Imagine Dragons!
Yeah I totally agree with you. This song fits perfectly whithin their style
I've been a fan since the beginning and I absolutely love this song!!! It's different and original, like they said awhile back!!! Don't call yourself a fan if you're gonna say you life their "old stuff", that's not something a fan would say!!! You've only heard this one song from the new album and already you're saying you don't like this!!! This album is going to be amazing, I hope it comes out on my birthday next year!!! :D
zach henry I wish that, like, all our (the fans') birthdays were squished into one day and Imagine Dragons released their album on it but it was also Christmas. xD Okay I sound like a seven-year-old bye.
Lol my birthday is a Tuesday in February so I'm extremely hopeful
Well happy early birthday
Thanks :)
Thank you. Just thank you.
Love it! This band is seriously the best.
*CAPS LOCK ON*
AGREED
yes!!!!!!
I've loved imagine dragons since before they became really famous, and I'll always love them. I love every one of their songs from beginning of their career to anything they will release.
Same
I discovered them when I heard "radioactive" as part of a commercial for Inside Combat Rescue
Laura Augustaitis thejmiester14 My friend showed me that song, and I heard as a part of the trailer for the Host. So once I was watching TV, and that came on and I was like; "Why is this song so familiar?" so I looked it up and I have loved Imagine Dragons ever since :)
guys. they're a band. their sound will change-it's inevitable. Being mainstream or not doesn't really matter as long as they make good music.
Though there're lots of negative comments out there.
This song is quite awesome.
true
in first listening, I disliked it, but then........ :DDDDD
It's officially now in my playlist.
true, at least better than jb
Who agrees with me that this band just doesn't know how to write bad songs?
I!!!!
me!!
me \o/
MY
meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
How dare they decide to grow and explore something different. Change is bad. Lets shame them for not being boring like 90% of artists out there by staying exactly the same and sounding exactly the same.
Is that sarcasm?
Ethan Shurow yes lot's
Good! XD
Very good
well said!
I always get annoyed when people complain about wanting the "old" band, singer, actor, whatever. Things evolve, people! Can you imagine if this band, or any other artist(s) wrote songs that were always similar to one another, never changing it up? It would be boring and dull, that's why every song has it's own uniqueness!
Finally someone who understands. Thank you !
Exactly people need to slow down and go with the flow that this band is putting out, the song is great
Cough*maroon 5 cough* all their songs
What are you getting at seth
Yea :)
Oh my goodness some of these comments crack me up. You guys can't be serious with the "new" vs "old" Imagine Dragons comments..or the "They've gone mainstream" comments...They've released one album..There is no "old" Imagine Dragons yet and this song fits in with their style perfectly. It sounds just like
them, which is a mainstream sound. They have catchy tunes, I love them, but ya'll are F'n silly. They've always been mainstream. Their first album was a massive hit, everyone friggin likes them; mainstream.
Siks Wifey People are comparing new versus old because Imagine Dragons has/have been around since, technically, 2008. That's six years sweetheart (Haymitch voice there okay bye). In that time they've released more that 35 songs, 4 plus EPs, many singles, and one-and-almost-two albums. Their first song wasn't Radioactive; they spent years building up to it with songs like All Eyes and Emma. People are just saying that their old style was more indie than their new style.
{Also, side-note, not everybody likes them.}
However, I do agree that they're "mainstream" now.
Actually, they've been around for quite a while and haven't "always" been mainstream. I knew of them long before they were that "massive hit" when they were an opening band for one that was very indie but broke up about a year before ID took Night Visions "mainstream". When I finally got to see them live in 2012, it was at a tiny little place that held maybe 75 people max. A year later I tried to get a ticket to their show at a venue that holds close to 3K people and couldn't get a ticket to save my life as they'd sold out in presale in less than an hour.
That all being said, I quite like this new tune! Can't wait for a full album!
35 songs? Six years? You've got to be kidding me. Like I said, they aren't an old band. Their sound has been consistent. It's nothing like the difference between garage days Metallica and the black album (for ONE instance). Every band starts somewhere but rising from freshcuts to mega stardome in 6 years does not an old band make. Of you're known worldwide in less than 5 years, you're mainstream. It's not a bad thing.
Yep ur right
I think they've played locally in Las Vegas for 2 years. Trust me, they haven't been mainstream from the start of their career.
After you listen a couple of times, it becomes awesome!
come on, it's been perfect since the first time I've listened to it
True
People need to understand that:
-If you don't like a song/band, you don't need to criticize it.
-Being an older fan doesn't makes you a better fan.
-Mainstream music isn't bad just because it's popular.
-Imagine Dragons (or any other band/artist) are NOT going to change their new style because you don't like it.
Thank you very much.
Also adding:
-It's leviOsa not leviosA
THANK YOU.
Lol it's true and you right !
xyang26 The band can take criticism it's the fans that cant take it when their fave band is criticised
+Perpetua Lux Perfectly said bro
Such a long bad day and I found this song and it brighten my day and now it is such a good day :)
ME TOO
Me too :D
Mine too ;)
Amen to that.
Nobody noticed how Dan's voice is so fucking perfect even if he sings something very different from what we are used to listen to?
And "New" and "Old" Imagine Dragons... bullshit. First of all they told from the very beginning that the new album would be different.
And you know what? That's cool!
They are great and with this song they show they can change styles and always be amazing!
Dan is always perf~
I can already tell this album is going down as one of the best of 2014. And not just because I love Imagine Dragons. Because this is fresh. Right on guys!
The range in vocals, instruments and just general music style with this band is incredible! From Demons, to Radioactive, to On Top of The World, to It's Time, Battle Cry, Bleeding Out, and so many others, to this, its just amazing what you guys have done and can still do! Looking forward to an awesome album :D
been waiting for this song to come out! I follow them on Instagram and they were sending out these codes that didn't make sense but if u look closely is says "I bet my life." but u must read it backwards. I'm so happy how it came out! 10/10
Same!!!!
same
I think I broke the replay button
GJ
im sorry, this is garbage. too many bands are trying to change, when what they were before was beyond perfect
What did you say... *shoves Desert Eagle into Tim's mouth* WHAT DID YOU SAY?! Imagine Dragons have always done songs like this!!!
Oh and coldsp101 look up listenonrepeat.com, it's a website that replays all TH-cam videos infinitly.
it stopped working after about 20 times.
I feel bad for musical artists. If they don't change up their sound fans complain every song sounds the same but when they do try a new sound fans complain it doesn't sound like their old material. I've realized that these "fans" just want to complain. I love this song and am excited for the new album
I salute you.
Thank god someone said it.
true!
Damn straight.
Can we be best friends? You should come into the imagine dragons fandom
Don't change, Imagine Dragons.
And by that, I mean don't stop making fantastic music.
Here's my review
1-A high lighted alt-rock song with a touch of folk,country and pop
2-The lyrics are great! but the chorus is sounds like The Lumineers
3-Weak instrumental ,the bridge is ok
6.8 \ 10
They released this as a single cuz it's more poppy and happy after a lot of dark soundtracks
i think the rest of the album will be more rock and dark as den reynolds said in an interview
Thats probably true.
Zachary Gratschmayr dude.. I bet you don't know The Lumineers to say such thing. Sorry but, I love Imagine Dragons, since The EPs, but I didn't like that much this song. Don't know why, but I feel that is not Imagine Dragons the way they were before. And The Lumineers is a perfect band. Their melody and lyrics are extremely beautiful, they sound different from the other bands, they're unique. And this song is not compared to their songs. Trust me.
good opinion
Actually i think they released it because it's part of the "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay" soundtrack
Malthe Beskos Imagine dragons are an alternative rock group. They don't make metal music.
To all of you saying the song sound too different, or 'new'... You obviously don't know imagine dragons. If you compare even the songs from their old album (ex: radioactive to on top of the world) you'll know that while many of their songs have a similar sound, a lot are different. They like to have variety which is a good thing, and maybe why they have so many fans (they appeal to different groups). Some of their songs are slow, some fast, some happy, some sad. That's how they do it so in that sense, 'I bet my life' isn't all-new and completely unexpected, just different. Besides, how can you guys tell that the entire album will be 'different' after only hearing one song?
This song was actually better then I expected. It's good for them to add another upbeat song to their collection. I do, however, hope they include more slow and depressing type songs again like 'bleeding out' or 'hear me'. I love the songs that deal with Dan's previous (or current?) depression and anxiety. I feel he puts a lot of emotion in them.
My passion is growing more and more to imagine dragons. They are the best band in the world😭❤
It's just not in their knowledge to write a bad song.
Imagine Dragons have never let me down with their music (and I have heard, and listened to, them all) and it is the same with this song...loving it! They are just amazing!!
First listen: Meh
Second listen: Not bad
Third listen: THIS FRICKIN' ROCKS!
Like a lot of their songs
Gustavo Birolini
Yeah agreed
That's how I was with Warriors. Then I memorized it the day it came out.
AGREEEEE
hhahahaha same!!
That's imagine dragons for ya , never fail to mess up a song.
Seriously they did not mess this song up
An Imagine Dragon fan since day 1 and I will always be. The release of this new song brings happiness to me. Seeing them progress these past years its amazing because real music is being recognized. Now I am looking forward to all their new music and I will always stay true to night visions. Night Visions will never be forgotten. Let the new album be release!!
This song personally means a lot to me. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it means the world to me.
0:45 nearly fell off my seat, was not expecting that :O Not a bad song though, bit different but I like it :D
BWWAAHAH listen real carefully at 2:30 2:40 or 1:50 and it sounds like elmos singing in the background.
If you open anaconda from 0:00 to the end, you can hear Shit and Crappy music
what is heard cannot be unheard. o_o hahahaha
WHAT IN THE DIVINES WAS THAT????@$&&@7&&&/$,)()-@-);)$-8/$;);6:62748($.!,):$3)(!,!; 666

Hey this song is great also im never gonna unelmo it....
Best comment ever xD
I loved them ever since Night Visions and I still love them now. Yes, their sound has changed but every band's sound changes after a while. I still think it's freaking incredible and it still has their personal touch. This band's music defines me and I will always support them. Can't wait for the next album
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I know I let you down, didn't I?
So many sleepless nights where you were waiting up on me
Well I'm just a slave unto the night
Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me
Remember when I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years
So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life for you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life for you
I've been around the world and never in my wildest dreams
Would I come running home to you
I've told a million lies but now I tell a single truth
There's you in everything I do
Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me
Remember when I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years
So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life for you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life for you
Don't tell me that I'm wrong
I've walked that road before
And left you on your own
And please believe them when they say
That it's left for yesterday
And the records that I've played
Please forgive me for all I've done
So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life for you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life for you
I, I bet my, I bet my, I bet my
I, I bet my, I bet my, I bet my
I've been a fan since imagine dragons EP, when hardly anyone knew of them. I miss it. Everything was better, especially the music, now they are trying to live up the to the standards that's been set by radioactive and it's time, there two worst songs in my opinion. It's sad to see it but the old EP's were the best, I'm not too sure about this one. It's also sad how most of the people around now a days that call themselves fans only know radioactive and it's time, the people that only care about what's in the charts annoy me, a lot.
indie as fuq.
Oh fuck off. Yeah take your hipster cred and fuck off. Continued Silence is a god damn masterpiece. Night Visions is a god damn masterpiece. Their singles for movie soundtracks are stellar. Imagine Dragons is only getting better with time. I don't see how anyone can think the early EPs were on anywhere near the same level as the new stuff.
Ever heard of capital letters?
How? Dude this is so different compared any band out there. Just stop. If you were a true fan from the beginning you would stay a fan and follow and support their direction. I love what they are doing and how much they have grown as a band.
Well, they have new audience now, they're making music for everyone to love and feel identified with and I think that´s cool. This is not something about ''Who's a Fan'' or Who's not. Just enjoy their music and that's it.
Wow this song is so awesome!
ImagineDragons never disappoints
yes your grammar are..
Quick, listen to this before it gets mainstream
Word lol
And I saw it when it had only 75k views :)
Gilbert (Gilc) Arent you a special little snowflake?
Gilbert (Gilc) About 160,000 ish. 2 hours and view doubled
It wont really become mainstream where I live, only few people know them just by radioactive and demons but that's it. So I'm safe of being mainstream
This is honestly a song for parents man
i'm in love with EVERYTHING imagine dragons put out and this is no exception. i love their music, i love their voices, i love their talent. i remember i saw them in atlantic city and it was only a couple hundred of people, now they're playing stadiums with tens of thousands of people. i am so proud of what they have done in a few short years!!! the first album was fantastic and i feel this album will be just as good!! :)
i just saw people say that it's not good enough, like the older songs of them are better, or dislike a lot... It's a new one of them and there are already haters, or unsatisfied people, but guys, just open your mind... they can't do the same songs all the time, night visions was perfect, but they use new style, kind of new beats, but it's close of what they have done before. (my opinion) this song is great, I love it, and I am not disappointed, I am pretty sure that "i bet my life" is the start of a new album which seems very amazing
the song is part of the next album they're releasing next year
Dimitri 141 oh good to know, i'm sooooo excited !
me too
Thank you!!!!!
I love it too! Can't wait for new album
Love the song. Love it.
My only issue with it was that when I first listen to it on my earphones walking down the street I kept thinking someone was screaming/shouting behind me because of the voices haha!
***** Not just me then! Good :D
i was home alone and thought my house is haunted!! :o XD
Omg yes it always makes me jump!!!!
This was posted a day before my birthday
It's something...
Haha really? The video clip was posted the day before my birthday haha. Isn't that weird.
Amby illuminati both of you >_>
Half Life 3 Confirmed.
I don get it what is half life ? sorry for my ignoance
Half life is a video game series. It is made by a company called Steam and Steam has never made a 3rd game of any series. So there is Portal 1 and 2 no 3. Same with Half Life. People have started making fun of it because there is no 3rd game.
I hate this whole 'new' and 'old' imagine dragons thing. This is their sound. Personally, I was relieved when I heard this song because I felt as if with recent movie soundtrack songs etc. (Battle Cry, Warriors...) they were changing their sound but this song stays true to Night Visions.
I think flexibility is one of those things about ID that I love the most. They can do all these epic songs, and yet they remain true to their sound. Agh, they're amaziiiing :3
I still think Battle Cry and Warriors were still great though (even though I thought Battle cry needed another verse). The reason why they sound different is because they are more focused on hard rock instead of regular rock (What else do you expect from a song that was made for a transformers movie).
The band should be retitled to 'Imagine Lions'.
They alwaays sound like that. With all the loud percussion going on in the background. And radioactive was the same as them two.
They make their own music. You shouldn't be judging them off their one album. I think all their music is great. It gives a message and doesn't have inappropriate lyrics or fake music. Warriors and Battle Cry are great songs. Imagine Dragons are doing what they should be doin. ROCK ON!
Seriously, you guys never cease to amaze me. Everyone in the music industry has the SAME sound and same style 100% of the time, but you guys mix it up! You incorporate different style, different genres and appeal to all kinds of people. Every song is unique and has a different sound. And your words actually mean something!! It's never been about fitting a perfect mold of what people expect from the genre of rock... it's just about the music and reaching out to people through it with true talent. You guys are an inspiration and will always be my absolute favorite band. Keep doing yo thanggg. (:
In the past, I have been disappointed by so many second albums that I was really nervous about Imagine Dragons's starting to make more music. But once again Imagine Dragons has captured my taste with their music! I am already in love with this song
Im kinda nervous too...I really like their last album and I want them to still make songs kinda like that..
You are a legend if you are listening to this in 2021 like me, you have a great taste in music
Personally, I think it's on par with the songs on Night Visions. I've been so disappointed by some of my favourite band's new music recently (bastille) and Imagine Dragons still have not let me down. This is brilliant, this is.
Yes it is. Absolutely agree with ya, man
Bastille hasn't been _that_ bad recently. Hoping that their new album later this year's gonna be as awesome as _Bad Blood._
Yeah :D
I did love Bad Blood, but, in my opinion, their new mixtape was awful..
Understandable. VS wasn't their best, but in my opinion, it did have really good songs like "Bite Down" and "Axe To Grind." In all honesty, some of the collaborators seemed to be the weak points in the mixtape. But hey, I have hopes that their new album will rock like _All This Bad Blood_ did.
I miss the Smoke + Mirrors era, these are Imagine Dragons’ best songs. I love Mercury but I always come back to these songs.
Me too
This is not their best song but it doesnt mean it's not a really good one
Agreed, it's not really a good one.
Best song out there right now. Anyone who thinks other wise, doesn't understand music. Those saying "This song let me down and I expected more..." should just stfu. This is what you call, change for the better. Their music evolves with every single. Each one is unique and creative. Many artists nowadays release dull tracks that are similar to their previous ones. These guys innovate with every track. If you are incapable of adapting to change, then maybe Imagine Dragons isn't the band for you.
Seriously, Night Visions blew me away. I remember the joy I felt buying this at my music shop. That music shop has disbanded and that caused me great internal pain. I have a lot of great memories there, bought many great albums. I remember listening to this track and I couldn’t tell you how I felt. Night Visions is one of my favorite albums, ever. I love when they release new music because it’s consistently good. Thunder, this, bad liar, etc. please keep making music!
I'm just marking the fact that I was here before this became mainstream. Since that seems to be the only thing that matters anymore.
Why does that matter some might not have been able to here them until then. Doesn't mean they aren't real fans.
Wow your so hipster.
*coughs* Hipster please, calm down. If saying you saw them before they were mainstream is more important than the actual band itself-then you can go away, you clearly mustn't have liked them.
Sarcasm doesn't work very well over the internet apparently...
Включаю иногда по утрам Imagine Dragons и на весь день заряжаюсь энергией! Удивительно позитивная группа!
All you "real fans" need to stop calling other new fans bandwagons! & if anything you guys should appreciate and be thankful they exists because that's what's going to help them stay together as a band & continue making albums. Just cause some of you knew them before they became main stream doesn't mean that their new fans are bandwagons. We're just apart of a fandom that appreciates talent & greatness.
Imagine dragons will never die
I Like Imagine Dragons!! :3
Come to Argentina plis :D
Love*
The thing I like about this song is that it's actually meaningful. I wish most pop songs nowdays weren't losing their meaning
I listen for the meaning, not because its popular and what not.
I used to be on the "This is the only bad song the Dragons have ever made" train, but then after a few listens it's stuck on me... So I don't understand where all of this hate is coming from, they stated that although it would be rock oriented, there would also be song other genres mixed in, so appreciate what they're giving us.
I turned my volume up to maximum and then when they all shouted "SO I I BET MY LIFE I BET MY LIFE ON YOUUU!!!" My ears were bleeding RIP earphones
same here bruh
+Jade The Pegasister Good job ( Brohoof )
What? That was my favourite part of the song.
you think THAT sound was strong?
FEEL THE THUNDER
Your ears were... Bleeding out!
Quick listen before it becomes main stream and ruined by radio stations overplaying it!
Great Christian song! Love it. Imagine Dragons have made my favorite inspirational songs
It is pretty rare that people these days like this kind of music. There should be more like this
Excelente, ya quiero que publiquen la fecha para el nuevo álbum... Un sonido un poco diferente a Night Visions y mucho mas a sus antiguos EPs que sólo los fans conocemos, pero me encanta que tengan la seguridad de probar nuevas cosas porque saben que sus fans verdaderos estaremos ahí! EXCELENTE, ME ENCANTO! 👏
El nuevo disco se estrenará en Febrero de 2015 ;)
Exacto, hay algo nuevo pero siguen conservando su toque tan particular, amo Night Visions, amo los EPs y estoy amando este nuevo álbum, siempre apoyandolos :)
So happy to see new stuff again. I'm expecting an early 2015 album release considering they're far enough along to have a single. Although there are some questionable features of this song, it still has a powerful beat and you get used to it after a few times, at least from my perspective. I think it's too early to already be judging them for this and we should just wait and see what the future holds. I personally have faith in this band to do good, and I hope I get to see the, in concert again for this upcoming album.
Here's to Imagine Dragons 2015!
How the hell does a band manage to change the feel and sound of their music on a dime and still sound great? I love Night Visions, Smoke + Mirrors, and Evolve. Like, HOW?!?
I loved Night Visions, I'm totally in love with Battle Cry and Warriors, but I still like this song. Ok, first time I listened to it I wasn't so pleased. But then I appreciated it.This is actually quite good for me! :)
Oh, and please, shut up about "old" Imagine Dragons. Seriously, they just try new things, there is no old or new! Just an awesome band... :)
Essa música é maravilhosa 🌈
I feel like this should be in the Lion King
I Bet My Life that you will break the replay button.
it feels like vibes of safari music
I miss their rockish style.
I agree
me too
I dont think that their every song is in rockish style
It's not gone, this is one song.
canofmayonnaise This is a pop song, I think it was announced last night or the night before
never a bad song from them
I honestly don't understand why people don't like this song! For starters I get that it's their opinion, but I think that it's a really great song! When I first heard it I loved it and I was so excited that they had some new stuff! They have definitely evolved since their first album and EPs. Now you people can go ahead and hate on me, but let me remind you that this is my opinion, and it's okay if you disagree, you just don't have to make it known to the world.
Honestly I think this is their best. Such a powerful song big WOW !
who here Still listens to this masterpiece in 2021?
hi
I expected something More...dark
same here...
so did I. but I like it, though :)
Maybe they want to do something different, and besides "on top of the world" wasn't dark and it was a hit. People need to stop being hipsters and wanting old stuff
Ben o'hern to be fair, people need to stop wanting the band to make something that their fans want. Let em make the music they want.
Besides, this song is pretty cool too! ^-^
But I liked, it's fine
Hahaha, everyone complaining that they're becoming 'less accessible' and 'too alternative' know absolutely nothing. This is pure and utter pop. Listen to the lyrics, the mixing where the voice is so much louder than everything, the repetitive chorus, etc.
Just because it contains a quiet bridge and a few guitars doesn't make it any less pop, guys...
Please someone explain to me why so many people are saying that they are such "old" fans and that this song isnt as good as their "old" stuff? Imagine Dragons has been around since 2008. That is 6 years ago. Count them. 6 years ago is nothing. People are making this band sound like they have been together since pre 2000, like Train, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, or any other big band that came out in the 90's. Imagine Dragons is still a "new" band compared to the great bands of music, such as The Beatles, Rolling Stone, The Eagles, Prince, or the other famous bands of all time . So for all the people out there saying that people who like this song only like it because they dont know how they used to sound, shut the fuck up. Who cares, seriously. Everyone here is here to listen to an amazing band play another great song.
One last thing if you have known Imagine Dragons since they released their first EP, congrats for you, you have known an amazing band since the beginning and i wish i found out about them back then, but dont go bragging around that you are so much better than everyone who just found them when Night Visions released because that was their first commercial success, so of course a crap ton of people will find out about them from that. You are not better than anyone who just found out about them. Enjoy the damn song and support whatever they release because not every song is going to be as good as Demons, Bleeding Out, It's Time, or any other of their hits. Im not saying this is their best song because it is not, and im not saying that i have been around since the beginning, i havnt. I found out about them in mid 2012. So yes im a "new" fan, but hey how about people stop being like "oh you are new you dont understand what they used to be like" and start being like "welcome to the fan base, glad to have you support this great band". The members of Imagine Dragons are humans and write the best songs they can so support them if you are a true fan and stop bitching.
I completely agree!! I just don't like the people who claim to be huge fans but have only heard demons, radioactive, and it's time... it's like no! I may be new but I've heard their music they are way beyond those 3 songs and have even better songs in my opinion or better at least!
They're just copying me. I mean, I can't blame them, I'm just such a trend setting hipster. I'm completely joking and playing off my original comment that did basically spark everyone else mentioning being an "old fan" & their eps.
I somewhat understand where they're coming from but it's obnoxious and pretentious. I feel like they mention those things because: 1: Everyone else is talking about it. 2: They miss the originality of Imagine Dragons. or 3: They're just copying everyone else.
I personally, feel like they could have done so much more with this song. It sounds so much like other songs that it gets people thinking about the band. How they used to do things completely different from the rest and didn't follow trends (the general style/sound is trending and is a bit generic at this point). While, yes, it is their own take on common trend, it's just hard to be original when so many others have done it before. It all goes back to the core of the band, which is their originality and diversity. While, yes it's diverse (for them) it's unoriginal and reminds people of what the band was. How they would do things that not many other bands were doing. How they had a very distinct sound while still being extremely diverse.
I feel like they were just disappointed but it might just be me. Also, a lot of people were just hating on chart top listeners (people that only listen to their ms songs) but subconsciously were guided to mention their EPs or being an "older fan," but that strayed away from their main point.
This is a bit jumbled but I hope you get the point I'm trying to make.
Some people think its bad because its not Imagine Dragons style maybe. But if a other unknown singer made this it would be nice. Its a little bit like the Advanced Warfare discussion u know. (Sorry for my bad english im dutch :p)
Chris Buskey That is so very true. I know so many people that say they love this band, but you mention any other song than Radioactive and Demons and they have no clue what it is. Most of those people are what skinnyweirdguy said, people that just follow the top 100 charts. One thing that is really sad about these people too is that they will hear this song, go ehhh i dont like it and then stop listening to Imagine Dragons all together.
Julien Van Rooij The only thing is that no bad should have only one style. If you look at The Beatles they went through multiple different phases of music that all sounded different and people still loved them and their songs. Granted they were the Beatles, but most bands do the same thing. And if you read interviews by Imagine Dragons they said they wanted to make music that sounded different than what was on Night Visions, so thats what they did. But that is a very true point about Advanced Warfare
Can't wait for the album!!!!!!
Y a t'il des français qui écoute les imagine dragons?
Evidemment (;
Oui ! Mon groupe préfère !
Bien sur
Bien entendu elle est bien celle la elle m a réveillé et j ai la pêche srx
~I BET MI LIFE I BET MI LIFE FOR YOU ~
Évidemment !! ; )
I love this song.

I usually listen to this song with headphones, and every time that voice at 2:49 pops up, I immediately whip my head to the right to see who made that noise. It's totally reflexive...
The random "wah wah" noice sounded like girls being tortured, that creeped me out XD

There are time when one must close his eyes and let the music flow from their ears to their soul.
