It's finally here, an excellent 360 degree video from one of the best Imagine Dragons songs ever and the best Evolve single. Just watch and you'll know how awesome it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcNcOnIkQQU

Thunder is annoying to listen to, and many Imagine Dragons will back me up on that. It doesn't fit with the album, it doesn't have very good instrumentation, and that chorus makes it impossible to listen to it for more than twice in a row without spazzing out and rolling around on the floor in pain. This remix builds on that kind of instrumentation, developing it more but making it so spasmodic that it actually makes listenable in more than occasional bursts. The K.Flay collaboration is relatively unexpected, as Imagine dragons rarely does collaborations, but was also a bit unsurprising because K.Flay is touring with Imagine Dragons in North America and that suggests a certain level closeness.

The only major good thing about it is its excellent transition between defiant and loud, and piano and angst driven lower bits. Being that this is the third single with themed artwork by a new-ish band on a record label debut with nothing longer than four minutes to their name, this should foreshadow a debut EP, if not an album. Hopefully the EP/album will be made mainly of good songs like American Dreamer and Ice Cream, which would definitely make this a...
