Imagine Dragons - Thunder

Their career path is so interesting. As many would know, Imagine Dragons were my favourite band in 2013, Night Visions is still one of, if not, my favourite albums ever, I have over 2000 listens of Imagine Dragons since my plays have been tracked by last.fm (just over 4 years), which is the most listens of any artist by about 40%.

So, how did we get here? I am dismayed by the sheer lack of effort. The lack of effort reminds me of Maroon 5's "Don't Wanna Know" last year, with Dan's vocals almost as lifeless as Adam Levine's there. What is with the production? The verses' attempted electro-trap production falls totally flat, remember when they at least pretended to be a rock band and at least had decent production? Those times seem so far away now. The chorus production is redeemable, but again, what is with the stupid vocals repeating 'thunder, thunder' over and over? It makes me want to bash my head against the wall. Another thing, I still love 'Demons', but I feel like that is the single track to blame for their terrible drum sections now, just another thing that ruins this song.

I'm more dirty on the band for becoming so cruddy in such a short space of time than the song itself, if it were by someone else, I wouldn't be half as bothered. It's just so sad that someone you can love so much can go and ruin it like this. I guess it's synonymous with my fading love for music, which over the past 12 months has increasingly just become a passing interest.
