Feb 17, 2015The band's attempts to mask generic, flat songwriting with flavour-of-the-month quirks make them no better than Creed. Only this time it's indie, not alternative rock that's being ripped off.

Aug 24, 2022Yikes. Sounds like if chris martin couldn't sing or write songs. Tell me at least one sing here that isn't derivative, empty or boring.

Mar 23, 2015I get bands tend to change, I cannot pinpoint what has really changed about Imagine Dragons but the sound is so different from Night Visions. I can't enjoy any of the songs. This album is incomparable to the masterpiece of which is Night Visions. I still love Imagine Dragons but I can't get into this album. I'll stick with Night Visions.

Feb 17, 2015Evocations of everyone from Coldplay to Peter Gabriel to Queen remain intact, with that first band’s specter looming largest over the moody, dirge-y, electro-tweaked proceedings. The album hits its most interesting and feverish spike with the furtive yelps and rhythms of “Friction.”

Feb 17, 2015Smoke + Mirrors may seem too recycled and belabored to entice the unconverted, but the hints of hidden depths are a pleasant surprise.
