grav_ityThe new Imagine Dragons album came out today. I put off buying the singles as they became available, because I wanted to listen to the whole album together (this failed, obviously, thanks to my BFF Youtube Repeat, which allowed me to listen to I BET MY LIFE almost 400 times), but I picked it up this morning after Twitter reminded me it was a thing.
I've listened through once, and my first impressions are that it is a solid album, but less "catchy" than the first one. It's also a bit quieter, I think, but I was working while I was listening, so it's possible I missed things. Aside from I Bet My Life, though, there's nothing dance-y, they way the first album had music you could dig into. It's all flying this time around.
THAT SAID, they did manage to write two songs that are SHATTERINGLY PERFECT for PRAIRIE FIRE. The aforementioned I Bet My Life, and also Warriors, which is the last song on the whole thing.
I'll calm down and listen to the whole album a few more times. Hopefully I find something to sink my teeth into.
