IMAGINE DRAGONS "smoke and mirrors"
its been almost three years since their highly acclaimed debut
album "night visions" was released so i was keen to listen to this
one on Spotify...
i thought their debut was okay..slightly over-hyped by the critics IMO.
this one is a bit more eclectic, the music is 'softer' and i think its a lot
more radio friendly than the debut...
i think its a better album than Night Visions overall, its well crafted and produced
and shows theres more to the Dragons than "radioactive"...
only real problem i have with this one is that the deluxe version has four extra tracks...
the album didnt need them, its a bit overkill,but what the heck!
this one is now on my 'to buy' list
rating on a first up listen 1.8
two of my faves from the album:
"i bet my life"
