Night Visions by Imagine Dragons free essay sample

Like the title suggests, Night Visions by Imagine Dragons is a series of songs created at night. From prowling nighttime ballads, uncertain dusk, to the crisp rise of day, that progression is continued from the band’s Continued Silence EP. It carries on the legacy of favorites, like the warstained, futuristic â€Å"Radioactive,† to the energetic, youthful â€Å"On Top of the World.† And like its predecessor, the album is a collection of songs that delve into the depths of us: never exploiting the feeling of invincibility, fear, pain, and anger, universal parts of our being. And that includes the rage, confusion, glory, and everything in between. While no song is completely alike, each is infused with the same high-rising energy. In â€Å"Hear Me,† paranoia is given a bitter sweet taste. Dan Reynolds croons and cries, his voice burning with passion. His level of intensity matches that of the music, which is one of the most amazing parts of the album. Since then Ive heard it on the radio stations i listen to and Its all good. Very good song. 2, Tiptoe, this starts out with an eerie sound and then we get to the style from the last one. ITs easily my second favorite from the album. This song is a true bomb. 3, Its Time, my third favorite song in the album. Of the first 5, this is the longest and again among the more popular tracks in the album. From here, were only a sixth of the way through but it is a good straight way through. Its time to begin, isnt it, I get a little bit, bigger but then Ill admit, Im just the same as I was. Im never changing who I am. 4, Demons, one of the shorter songs in the album and right up with Radioactive and Its Time. This is a song that was really for Dan, being that he had a Heroine problem before this, or so Ive heard. This song has to do with hardships and things that bring you down easily. It is less than 3 minutes long but it packs a gaint punch within those three minutes. 5, On Top Of The World, This is a happy song, Yah! This is also the last track with a music video and in that, the band pulls a Beatles move and goes through Abbey Road to meet in one place to watch an air shuttle take off. Fun song that anyone could listen to. 6, Amsterdam, this is my favorite song in the album.By the way, has anyone been to NetherLands? I would love to go there. Maybe I could find more metal bands there. Anyways, this song is one of those apology songs, we all have heard of at least one, right? I dont know why but this is in my top 20 right now. Its short, sweet, and to the point. 7, Hear Me, I swear this sounds familiar. Well, anyways, this song is also really fun to listen to and like I said, it sounds like Ive heard this before somehow, somewhere. This must be a song about how some feels alone or like no one will listen to him, probably the latter. 8, Every Night, Im coming home to you-oo, every night, every night. That is the sound of something still good. From here, though, this is where we start to slip. But this song is still good. Nothing more, sorry. 9, Bleeding Out, god this song hurts! It is okey but it just gets worse from here. Not too drastic of a change though. It is a good song though so, theres that. It feels a little too slow though, yeah I think thats it. 10, Underdog, it starts with alot of keyboard and synth action. As the name sugests, it is a song about being the underdog in a certain sport, they didnt specify there. It is a bit better then Bleeding Out, but thats just me, it is a bit quirky as well. 11, Nothing Left To Say/Rocks, well it has two parts so it is going to be a little longer. Oh, but did I mention its 9 MINUTES LONG!? Jeez, that is a little overkill for these guys. For metal that would totally make sense, but for pop rock? Well, not really. This is easily my least favorite song and the longest one on the entire album. It is still somewhat good but, just barely. 12, Working Man, finally back to the sound at the begining if the album. Catchiness and chart topping music, for me at least, and sheer enjoyment. Ive said it once and I will say it one more time, FINALLY! 13, Fallen, this is more of an Indie sounding song. Again, it sounds familiar and again, I have no idea when or where I have heard this, if I did. I do like it quite a bit but it doesnt exactly toach the top 5 for this album. Well, tell everybody this is a cool song. 14, My Fault, this is as long as Demons but isnt nearly as good. It has more conventional sounds and sounds very conventional of a song as well. It is better than Nothing Left To Say but only by a little. It sounds a little too sad too. 15, Round and Round, this starts with what sounds like Breaking Benjamins Unknown Soldier, then we get into rap rock music style, I guess. Dans voice sounds kind of unnatural here, whether thats good or bad is up to interpretation. It is a pretty catchy song but it doesnt stand up to the test of time. 16, The River, after this, only two more songs to go. This song sounds like a psychodelic adventure, like they took a page out of Pink Floyd, and became a song. Again, like Nothing Left To Say, it isnt too terribly good but isnt bad either. I took it for what it is and just rolled with it. Sorry Dan, but you cant do psycodelic songs well. 17, America, I first this song when cycling through my phones music playlist and listening to every song in order alphabeticly. This is an interesting song might I add, but a bit boring. Eh, what are you going to do? I feel it is far inferior to some of the last songs but still much better than well, Nothing Left To Say, again, I do like that song a little. 18, Selene, phoow, were finally at the end. Well it felt like forever right? A great way to go out and has a nice catchy beat to it to. I freaking love this song! It goes out like a supernova and just explodes the sound right through to your ears. Facinating chorus and one of the better sounding love songs Ive heard, especially pop music. Listen to this album if you havent already, you will not regret it. This has been the Grim Reaper, and my next review will be our first negitive reveiw, MegaDeths Rust In Peace. Rating: 8.8/10
