Basically, when people hear few instruments, they consider it a slow ballad and when there is heavy instrumentation, a song now becomes a fast rock song. In “Night Visions,” Imagine Dragons disproves this premise. Their first album “ Night Visions” is draped head-to-toe in meaningful lyrics sitting atop beautifully assembled electric beats. Their ability to belt out a rock song while simultaneously making their listeners’ knees weak, as if they are listening to a slow ballad, is unprecedented. Throughout the pop era of music (1950s-present), there has been an unwritten distinction between a “slow” song and a “fast” song. Well, his album came out and his next single was called “She Cranks My Tractor.” Needless to say, that prediction didn’t exactly pan out, but here’s one that I will not regret saying: Imagine Dragons is the most innovative band in the music scene today.īut how can I say this? They just released their first album nine months ago! This statement seems a little premature. Well, allow me to explain.
I’ve been known to make premature overstatements about how good or bad some music is. Some turn out to be supportive and others, not so much. For example, when country artist Dustin Lynch released his premiere single “Cowboys and Angels,” I promptly proclaimed he would go on to be one of the most respected new artists in country music and release a multi-platinum album packed with numerous hits.
