  • I decided to put myself through the amazing journey that is the new Imagine Dragons album. It left me with physical pain. There isn’t a single song here that sounds original enough for me to want to ever revisit, or good enough for me to be able to sit through ever again.

    Personally, I loved Dull Knives specifically BECAUSE it was uncomfortable. I guess I relate to it because I feel those crazy emotions and mental health struggles. Is some of the album cheesy? Yes, absolutely. I typically like the songs that aren't made for radio better. They're good people, so that adds to my respect for them.

      I mean, the fact that he made fun of a positive review before even listening already says that. And so does skipping a lot of songs midway through
      I do like Brad but obvious bias is obvious
      Something to note is that I saw his Act 2 review and it was a lot more open minded and there he wasn't even invalidating Dan's emotions there which shows he had grown since this video

      ​@@user-sw4sk3uy5b He almost praises the first song, makes a comparison with an ID song that he admits he actually enjoys, and explains why he can't connect with the music multiple times.
      It doesn't matter if the album had the greatest idea of all time within it; execution is meant to convey ideas, and that is where this album falls apart for many people, Brad included. Also, you can't "invalidate" someone's emotions. Those are the individual's possession with which lies within themselves; it is impossible to take that from someone, unless you give them amnesia or a lobotomy.

    I want to say this. You don’t skim through the song you’re reviewing and then give it the score like what you did with wrecked. That’s not how reviews work. Movie reviewers don’t skim through half the movie and then give the score. Game reviewers don’t play half the game and then give their scores.

If a large majority of people somewhere around 70% evaluating the album say it is disjointed that implies a variety of intermixed styles that are not predictable. He can say what he wants, but that album is anything, but predictable. So his argument is pretty lame. You may not like the different styles, but it has a large variety of styles and techniques, so his argument is pretty stupid and actually wrong. In the end it doesn't matter, because they will continue to sell more than most Rock and Roll bands and those that sell always get criticized. There is a reason that they have 3 diamond songs and are close to a 4th and the only ones to have that. They are good and have a style that is liked.
