Imagine dragons

Whilst all the talk is of Kasabian against Arcade Fire, who is going to headline the Pyramid on the Saturday etc, i really want to see these doing what i though was the sing along album of last year in " Night Visions". Whether it be headlining the John Peel stage ( which i feel will be too small now, aka Bastille last year ) or up high in the order on the Other stage, it will be rammed. I was going to post this on the other bands you want to see thread but conversation seems to have spilled into Cliff again !

In all seriousness though i would love to see these on a sunny afternoon or late evening full of beer and having the time of my life singing along. It must happen and i am looking forward to it!

Utterly utterly terrible. A complete disgrace to music. An absolute atrosmacy. But then again I highly doubt I'm their target audience, I understand they're very popular with the kids.

Nah, I stole it from Futurama.

[Pinhead]

Expect it to be in the OED then within months, so keen are they to add any new words to raise the profile of their endeavour.

[FloorFiller]

they really are awful, but i expect them to be there in a high-ish Other slot (or possibly even on the Pyramid)

[ghandi]

Really awful? really? My ears must be becoming deaf I don't think so, perhaps if you are after more substance we can debate that perhaps to some they are not exactly ground breaking but to me a nice sing along in a field to what i thought was a good album. Each to their own i suppose.

Their like a bad cover band of The Killers!

I fucking love 'em.

Although I felt old when I watched them at Brixton a few months back ...

[El Matador]

Alongside the likes of The Feeling and The Script in the "offensively awful" category. I'd rather fall down a long drop than have to endure an hour of their turgid offerings.

Whilst it's all good people having a point of view i can't say that i've ever gone on a thread and slagged a band, if you don't like them then thats your porogative and i guess you'd be elsewhere. I just don't see the point in it .

[ghandi]

no need to get so defensive as if they're 'you're' band. you posted a thread in a forum known for it's opinionated people so be prepared for opinions, whether good or bad

I was unfortunate enough to catch a bit of Imagine Dragons on the TV coverage of some festival or other (I think it may have been IoW) last year. My ears have never been so offended in all their life. Complete and utter shit of the highest order.

I've never heard of them, or heard them.

I sincerely hope it stays this way

Trite bombast where being Epic is confused with clipping audio and LOUD DULL DRUMS and shitty yelly vocals.

[Yesiamaduck]

Doesn't sound anything like epic. And I should know - I was at Brixton in 1990.

Learn from my mistake

AND DONT click on this link Imagine Dragons – Radioactive

It's the most compressed piece of shit ever with some of the worst songwriting I've heard in a long time. Trite bombast where being Epic is confused with clipping audio and LOUD DULL DRUMS and shitty yelly vocals. I would rather listen to Nickelback... as shit as their songs are at least it doesn't cause a headache.

Awful.

Saw them at Brixton a few months back (against my will) and was the most boring gig i've been too. Pretty much half the show was instrumental fillers.

I guess they will be at Glasto, but i will be avoiding.
