It's dark like 'Tiptoe' but also carries a different vibe to it that no other songs really have. Imagine Dragons weren't afraid to take a few risks, either - ' Bleeding Out' is a very different song on the record, featuring loops and a more retrospective melody. Even the bonus track ' Rocks' has some fun vibes to it! There's a lot of great variation on this record, and it's all under the umbrella of rock and pop. The rock n' roll vibes are part of the record - "cute" songs like ' On Top Of The World' are present, providing for a genuinely fun listen, while other songs like ' Tiptoe' have a darker sound to them but still maintain a big drive. Night Visions has a very strong grasp on how pop rock works.
What's even more massive than 'Radioactive' is the live version of the song - if you want a whole new beast to deal with, check that out. 'Radioactive' earned its right as one of the biggest pop songs of the decade for good reason - the massive, glitching synths paired with the immense percussion really redefined and owned the anthemic vibe of music. The ad nauseam radioplay may have gotten to you, but while listening to it with purpose, you remember how massive of a song this is. Of course, no one can forget ' Radioactive.' Even if you tried you couldn't forget it - chances are you heard it so many times in 20 that you got sick of it. It's weird kick drum sound and less upfront sound doesn't live up to the hype of other singles on the record, but that didn't stop it from being a big single. There's also the classic ' Demons,' perhaps one of the weaker of the singles. The album is probably best known for some of its singles: the sweet, uplifting anthem ' It's Time' was played nearly nonstop in its prime, it's dinky intro leading into a powerful track with a strong drive. It has a strong conviction and, on top of that, loads of pop appeal. It's built upon very pure emotions and a pretty clear mission statement. Regardless of how you look at it, Night Visions was, and still is a massive record. Imagine Dragons' 2012 studio debut Night Visions set the pace for this band. You can't move forward without keeping what's behind you in mind, though. The band's second record Smoke & Mirrors was largely a success, combining heavier elements - as well as poppier ones - to the band's foundations. Imagine Dragons are inching closer and closer to getting new material from their upcoming third record out, but it has quite the discography to live up to.
