    takes alt-rock drama and boy-band syrup and bolts on some fun.-size arena-singalong choruses. an example of band that tries to take every single trend in music, throw it together on a canvas, and see what happens. There's dubstep, arena rock, emotional lyrics, chorus chants. Problem is that none of it works.

People claim this band is original, but how original is really taking Mumford & Sons lyrics/emotional wringing, Florence & the Machine's rhythm, and hip hop beats and seeing if it works as a whole?
    Everything in modern day radio is either a hollow gesture of personal introspection or something danceable. Both styles are tiresome, and Imagine Dragons gives us the worst of both worlds. Radioactive is just silly, what with an unnecessary guitar intro, unnecessary dubstep effects, and esoteric, generic lyrics. The vocal verse melody for demons is just atrocious. The latter half pushes for more anthems, but it's all the same without any surprises. One album that the critics generally nailed.    … Expand

    Night Visions leaves us with a crazy vision... and wonderful of course, with iconic songs and great singing voices

    My favorite ID album, with The River being my favorite ID song. It goes from super heavy songs like Amsterdam or Round And Round to really emotional songs such as Nothing Left To Say or My Fault. Really really good, make more albums like this

    REVIEW
    Ich finde das Album einfach spitze! Jeder Song ist individuell und passt zum Genre.
    Sehr gute Songs: Radioactive, Tiptoe, Its Time, Demons, Amsterdam, Every Night, Nothing left to say, Round and Round und America.
    Gute Songs: On Top of the World, Hear me, Bleeding Out, Cha-Ching, My Fault, The River und Selene.
    Auch die anderen Lieder sind schön und gut geschrieben, jedoch kein Ohrenwurm oder sonderlich einzigartig. Als gesamtes Werk ist dies das Beste Album, das ich je gehört habe. So viele grossartige Songs vom Klang und vom Text her. Das einzige Lied, dass nicht ins Album passen möchte, ist Underdog. I dont Mind hätte im Tausch gegen Fallen, Uptight oder Tokyo besser getan.

    FAZIT
    Das Album lohnt sich für jeden CD-Sammler und Musik Liebhaber. Die Stilrichtung dieses Albes wäre Indie- und Alternativer Rock. Die Deluxe Variante lohnt sich für jeden, der die alten Imagine Dragons Lieder hören möchte. Beide Versionen sind empfehlenswert.

    (I’d give this album a 9,8/10, but I can’t add that exact rating so I’ve rounded it up to 10/10).

    This album has amazing metaphorical lyrics at the right point, and each song is unpredictable. No bad songs here. I don’t give it the 10/10 because some bridges are too short.

    One of their best albums. Even in 2020 it does no feel dated.
    The lyrics are deep and the sound combines alternative, indie and pop rock in a great way. Some songs even have electronic elements such as radioactive.

    I had heard some Imagine Dragons songs before (who hasn’t heard Radioactive?) but never listened to a full album of theirs, so I decided to try them out. I am so glad I did because I was super happy with what I heard. The first half of this album was spot on, but the second half left a little to be desired. The first half is filled with some outstanding, upbeat, and catchy songs. Radioactive and On Top Of The World are especially good, but any out of the first eight of this album are really good. After that, Night Visions kind of devolves a little. The next songs aren’t bad, but they just don’t reach the heights (or the power in some cases) as the first songs. That being said, Night Visions still did well enough to get a score of nine, which is a very good score. I really enjoyed Night Visions, and all fans of pop/rock will really like it. Highlights: Radioactive, Tiptoe, It’s Time, Demons, On Top Of The World, Amsterdam, Hear Me, Every Night, Nothing Left To Say/Rocks, My Fault, and Selene.    … Expand

    It's not often I rate a perfect 10 but this album deserves it. The singles are class and even those that aren't singles feel like singles. Only _really_ weak track is the closer which gets a bit long and boring but the album lacks low points other than that.

    The first studio album from Alternative/Rock band Imagine Dragons is a relatively strong first album, it has great vocals and decent instrumentation, along with a couple really excellent tracks. Although that being said the lyrical prowess of this album is very clichéd and is not really anything to get excited about.

"Demons" is great lyrically and musically. The lyrics on this album are not normally great, but they are never really bad either. "Underdog" sounds like it could be a Passion Pit song, and that's not a bad thing. "Radioactive" is a groundbreaking, earth-shaking song that you need to listen to at max volume to fully enjoy.

    "Night Visions" works on so many levels and is possibly Imagine Dragon's best album. The problem is while lyrically the whole album is extremely well done, some of the sounds just don't work for me. Especially on "Every Night". Overall this album is pretty solid and maybe their best. B

    Su aparición y uno de sus mejores álbumes. Las letras de estos tracks son realmente muy buenas, comparadas a la horrible simplicidad de Evolve. Las percusiones y el sonido alternativo del rock va muy bien con su estilo.

    Unfortunately Night Visions is so safe and middle of the road that it leaves you with the same hollow feeling that Las Vegas can, without the dizzying high and sensual assault that got you there in the first place.
