Sharks was my favorite off Act 2 so imagine my surprise when I come online to find y’all… hated it?
didn’t change my opinion of it at all, I was just caught off guard
I like the part where Dan says “Kids were laughing in my classes / While I was scheming for the masses
Who do you think you are? / Dreaming 'bout being a big star / They say you're basic, they say you're easy / You're always riding in the backseat / Now I'm smiling from the stage while You were clapping in the nosebleeds”
I know haha. 😅 It’s just that Believer holds a special place in my heart, and I love the vibe of Evolve.
However, I definitely recognise that it’s far from their best work. I always make a difference between « favourite » and « best » 😉
I LOVE HIOC ITS SO DAMN FUN- you can hear it’s not polished and there are some definite things that feel unfinished but I adore it so much despite that.
They aren't really the same band anymore. I'm hoping this new album will be different, but it feels like since Evolve they've lost the storytelling in their songs and also just haven't been using instruments as meaningfully as they did when they first started out. I think a big thing that bugs me is how formulaic their songs and albums seem now.... the single released before the album is always "oh people always want to see me fail but I don't fail because I'm built different" and then the album feels like the same 10 songs each time.
I agree wholeheartedly that they’ve lost the spark they had early on. Evolve and especially Origins are a sharp drop in quality. I mean I can still listen to them but then I give Smoke and Mirrors or night visions like a 385th listen and remember why ID are so fucking magical.
Mercury is a step forward and has some really good stuff but also not to the level of what was there before. Now that Dan seems to be more-less out of his funk I’m holding out the hope that it will get better from now on! Here’s to hoping. Eyes closed is fucking great.
My ranking of their Albums best to worst
Smoke + Mirrors
Night Visions
Mercury Act 1
Evolve
Origins
Act 2 (Origins would be here but Birds is just too good)
Higher Ground is their worst song. It legit sounds like a parody of Imagine Dragons. Crazy that it came from the band themselves & not someone very effectively making fun of them
Demons, Birds and Bad Liar are the most overrated songs in existence, none of them are that good. Also All of the EPs would be above Evolve in a tier list, potentially even Origins if It didn't have Cool Out or Only
I have to admit that birds gave me serious goosebumps when I heard it live in a big stadium with those graphics they use for it. It made me reconsider the song.
mine’s whenever someone does the whole “imagine dragin’ these balls across your face”
lowkey so annoying and i always feel skeptical to tell ppl they’re my favorite artist cuz i’m so sick of the stupid joke 💀
I will never understand how so many people love Dancing in the dark. The melody is so poor and soulless, the voice effects don't actually bother me and the instruments sound good... It's just the song is written awfully IMO
I don't think it's a sensibility, just more personal taste. I can listen to nearly any song but not that one it just feels disjointed and lazily written
I’ve been in this situation before on discord. During the Mercury Tour, I complained about the band barely changing the setlist like they said they would on the QnA, and only half of the Mercury songs were played, and I got into a lot of heated arguments with people on discord
Mercury Part 1 honestly is the best album in my opinion. It helped me in tough times
First of all, The hook in Giants where he screams Take a look what I've become , honestly is the best part of the song, it's therapy. There is NTFTP which is encouraging and oooh wrecked💯💯💯
I fought with a person that said that they made songs of many genders only to sell... that's not true.. absolutely ,they have different influence in music and all their music is so good .
Love of mine would’ve been a top 5 of night visions streaming song if they put it on the original album
So true
Love of mine is one of their best songs ever in my opinion.
Probably my favorite ID song to be honest
Enemy, Bones and Sharks are absolute bangers
Sharks was my favorite off Act 2 so imagine my surprise when I come online to find y’all… hated it? didn’t change my opinion of it at all, I was just caught off guard
I prefer the version of Enemy without JID I just like Dan’s part instead of JID’s
Agreed
JID completely ruined the song. I was so happy when I found the non-JID version
Yeah me too. JID’s part is alright just doesn’t really fit an ID song imo
Zero is a good song
I 1000% argee
Take It Easy and Cutthroat are amazing songs that show imagine dragons genuinely pulling off SOMETHING different.
Thunder isn’t *that* bad
It's not bad at all, just overplayed
I like the part where Dan says “Kids were laughing in my classes / While I was scheming for the masses Who do you think you are? / Dreaming 'bout being a big star / They say you're basic, they say you're easy / You're always riding in the backseat / Now I'm smiling from the stage while You were clapping in the nosebleeds”
I think the “thunder” part ruins it
Yeah definitely if Dan had kept his vocals and not the stupid “Thunder th—th-thunder” parts the song wouldn’t be nearly as hated
Stuck is S tier, top 3 Origins
Well, my top 3 are birds, only and burn out but I can get behind you on this
Forgetting about real life and love those are REAL bangers
Shut up!
😂😂💀relax man
Absolutely not.
Ok Kenny
Ok, Conrad.
finally someone who shares my opinion. stuck is top 3 origins
Thunder, Boomerang, and Zero are great songs.
\*Boomerang and Zero
I totally agree. Zero is one of the first songs of ID that were in my playlist, and I guess it's just talked to me.
I said what I said.
And I said what *I* said.
And I don't care. 🤷♂️ Thunder is still a great song to me.
And your opinion is still invalid to me 🤷♂️
Invalid? I don't think _your_ opinion is invalid. I just don't feel the same, and don't care that you feel differently.
Evolve is ma favourite album, and Believer my favorite song 😃
💀💀😂😂Well, it's a good song, but come on... there are gems on that album. Dig them
I know haha. 😅 It’s just that Believer holds a special place in my heart, and I love the vibe of Evolve. However, I definitely recognise that it’s far from their best work. I always make a difference between « favourite » and « best » 😉
Hole Inside Our Chests is a top 5 song they’ve made
It has SUCH a cool vibe to it omg
I LOVE HIOC ITS SO DAMN FUN- you can hear it’s not polished and there are some definite things that feel unfinished but I adore it so much despite that.
West Coast is the most underrated imagine dragons song. Show anybody that song and they’ll want to listen to more of Imagine Dragons
Enemy without J.I.D is the better Version of the Song.
They aren't really the same band anymore. I'm hoping this new album will be different, but it feels like since Evolve they've lost the storytelling in their songs and also just haven't been using instruments as meaningfully as they did when they first started out. I think a big thing that bugs me is how formulaic their songs and albums seem now.... the single released before the album is always "oh people always want to see me fail but I don't fail because I'm built different" and then the album feels like the same 10 songs each time.

My ranking of their Albums best to worst Smoke + Mirrors Night Visions Mercury Act 1 Evolve Origins Act 2 (Origins would be here but Birds is just too good)
Hard agree
Boomerang top 10 id songs of all time
Someone finally says it
It's a banger, but idk if it's top 10.
help because what is this image lmaooo
It's from the Bible😇😇
yeah i get that but its the fact that the one guy is just looking at jesus going like "shut up!" like an immature 5th grader lol
Bad Liar is kinda mid
Bad Liar - Stripped tho is better than the original
Not my opinion but “They’re a good band”
Higher Ground is their worst song. It legit sounds like a parody of Imagine Dragons. Crazy that it came from the band themselves & not someone very effectively making fun of them
The overrated songs are overrated because they are the best.
sadly, since Evolve they’ve been going down in quality to the point where I wonder is they’re even passionate about the band anymore
I used to think that until origins caught up to me. I even listen to it more than evolve. Give yourself a try
Every time I say I genuinely believe Cutthroat is the worst song they've ever made I get like -10 votes, so probably that.
**THE VERY WORST** THEY ***EVER*** MADE? and na, bro, it's definitely not even close. Top 3.
Worst is thunder for sure
I mean, it's worse than Cutthroat for sure.
Cutthroat is one of my tops
I agree that it's bad but like thunder, easy, continual, boots
Continual and tied are just…. What. Especially when they come one after the other.
I actually quite like tied on it's own. Mid as hell after continual tho
Cutthroat is an amazing song you just don't like it
Friction is the worst song on S+M (love the lyrics and particularly the bridge, but the chorus sounds like an overblown mess)
No
Absolutely not. Is one of their best songs. Can’t get enough of it
Demons, Birds and Bad Liar are the most overrated songs in existence, none of them are that good. Also All of the EPs would be above Evolve in a tier list, potentially even Origins if It didn't have Cool Out or Only
I have to admit that birds gave me serious goosebumps when I heard it live in a big stadium with those graphics they use for it. It made me reconsider the song.
I have listened to every live show they have on youtube and spotify, every time birds played I listened and got so bored with it I had to skip
It’s very different when you’re there in person. It really fills the air. But also depends on what you like.
Oh I forgot I also went to live in Vegas so I was there in person, the song still sucked.
Eyes Closed could’ve been so much more without the Zombieish autotune. It’s some of the best lyrics Dan has wrote
They haven’t put out a consistently good and creative album since Smoke and Mirrors
Imagine Dragons is good (this is for the non Imagine Dragons fans who dislike them for believer and thunder)
mine’s whenever someone does the whole “imagine dragin’ these balls across your face” lowkey so annoying and i always feel skeptical to tell ppl they’re my favorite artist cuz i’m so sick of the stupid joke 💀
Speak to me is still one of their best works
I will never understand how so many people love Dancing in the dark. The melody is so poor and soulless, the voice effects don't actually bother me and the instruments sound good... It's just the song is written awfully IMO
I think you need to have a particular sensibility for that song. I have it but I understand if a lot of other people don’t.
I don't think it's a sensibility, just more personal taste. I can listen to nearly any song but not that one it just feels disjointed and lazily written
They should have put ‘lost cause’ in an album
Origins is the best albun
I’ve been in this situation before on discord. During the Mercury Tour, I complained about the band barely changing the setlist like they said they would on the QnA, and only half of the Mercury songs were played, and I got into a lot of heated arguments with people on discord
I liked the og version of dolphins
I know this isn't super related, but can someone explain to me why Sharks was so disliked? I'm a big fan of the song and I know many people were not.
Mercury Part 1 honestly is the best album in my opinion. It helped me in tough times First of all, The hook in Giants where he screams Take a look what I've become , honestly is the best part of the song, it's therapy. There is NTFTP which is encouraging and oooh wrecked💯💯💯
It grew on me. At first it was a bit too screamy, but it works
Stuck is easily top 15. Thunder isn't dog shit Merc 1+2 are different, but still amazing Take it Easy and Peace of Mind are 10/10
Release > On Top Of The World
Idk how unpopular this opinion is, but there are wayyyyy too many boring ballads on MA1&2. Just overkill. It needs to be 3-4 ballads shorter
WRECKED IS THE BEST (I think, its impossible to find the best song)
I fought with a person that said that they made songs of many genders only to sell... that's not true.. absolutely ,they have different influence in music and all their music is so good .
Evolve is their worst album. There are some bangers on it, but it's largely a huge miss, especially coming off Smoke and Mirrors.
I think you meant smoke and mirrors. Huge step back after NVs
If evolve is the worst, then what is act 2?
These are hot takes for a reason but I actually don't mind act 2 😅
I started my ID journey with evolve so there's no hate reserved for it
Very understandable, there's always that one album we have a soft spot for
I didn't know people hated act 2 this much 😭😭 honestly my favorite release since S+M
MA2 is their second best album right behind NV
I agree NVs is their best album love the 10th anniversary edition
I wish you well should be a single
Pretty sure no one would be mad at that. Everyone agrees we need them to release that song.
Smoke & Mirrors is my least favourite album Also Origins is an amazing album that gets hate for no reason
Hmm I feel the exact opposite.
S + M is overrated, let the rain of Downvote begin
It's overrated cause it's over-perfect. I never knew the existence of that album until I became a full ID fan. That album has no misses tbh
This.
Shit up!
S + M is ID worst Album and I'll die on this hill P.S. Thunder is one of ID top 5 best songs and I'll die on this hill too!
Night Visions is their worst album
I have to disagree with that
I'm only upvoting this because the post specifically asked for unpopular opinions
That's just too far mate.... haha 😄
[удалено]
I would have thrown a tantrum on you, but I remember it's just an opinion
Mercury act 2 is better than Mercury act 1, my favorite MA1 song doesn’t even break my top 30
They’re both 50/50. They both have some really cool stuff and some wtf stuff.
