Jan 12, 2018the best imagine dragons has ever offered. form smash hits like radioactive and demons to more unknown gems like underdog and hear me this album must be listened to from start to finish.
-
Dec 30, 2013This is probably one of the best albums of the year. Radioactive, It's Time, Demons, On Top of the World... It's all so good. Imagine Dragons has a huge expectation to fulfill in my eyes now.
-
Mar 9, 2015The album contains great songs with amazing melodies and great vocals. I won't lie I honestly didn't care about them until I heard their music more and more know I love their music.

Apr 25, 2021So many classics on here.
Radioactive.
Demons.
The underrated Amsterdam.
These songs are amazing. -
Jun 12, 2013Absolutely underrated band. Saw the guys live and was blown away by their musicianship. Night Visions is a strong debut album and I can't wait to hear what these guys put out next.
-
Jun 9, 2013Great album. I've read countless positive reviews on it and am curious why metacritic is choosing these mixed reviews to display. For a debut album from such a young band I walked away thoroughly impressed after listening to it and have only grown more fond of it with time.
-
May 30, 2013I don't understand how this album got such a low score. Most of the songs are amazing and more importantly, different. Working Man, Bleeding Out, On Top Of The World and It's Time are some of the best songs I've heard in a very long time. Sure they do have a few bad songs on the album but the good outweighs the bad by a mile

Mar 19, 2015Night Visions is a perfect example of alternative indie album that doesn't have a single song that you could say "uhh, I don't like it". The Deluxe Version of the album is also incredible.

Jun 21, 2013I think this album couldn't be better. Sounds, atmosphere, voices. They're all fantastic. I love this album and I love Imagine Dragons. I can't understand why it has such a low score, they'd deserve more.

Jun 30, 2013One of the better alternative bands out there, Imagine Dragons sounds like a mixture between Coldplay and the Killers (also originating from Nevada). Their songs are catchy and while many will think that they are too 'pop', there is enough artistry going into their arrangements that made them sound different than any alt bands out there.

Nov 18, 2015Lyrically wise the band is strong, but aside from a one or two standout tracks the album falls victim to sloppy production and a lack of tonal consistency.

Nov 25, 2013This album has a lot of what I love of Alternative and Indie Rock music. I don't know how critics can put it most negative reviews, it's so good, there are song that are killer songs, others are normal but i like it so much the album in general, the sound is so excellent, fresh, original, wear and amazing, also the lyrics. Imagine Dragons is unique, you will never find another band like this.
-
Sep 17, 2013Debuting major album by the emerging star band of Imagine Dragons. Featuring many hit songs that have plastered radio stations and billboard charts over the past year, it shows many great songs that are fun and easy to listen to it. Only major criticism is that you get tired of it quickly due to the large similarities between songs, they tend to just blend together. Good album overall
-
Dec 17, 2013Alex Da Kid managed to do something quite interesting to fuse dubstep, hip-hop and folk music on a an indie rock album, most things work in Night Visions, despite some fairly generic moments on the album.
-

Aug 13, 2013Imagine Dragons are similar to the Foo Fighters, but they use a wider variety of sound effects and suffer from a noticeable lack of lyrics. (There's a lot of oh-ing and ah-ing to fill in the gaps).
-

May 19, 2013I may be the minority here, but I find this album to have only like one or two OKAY songs, but the rest of them, are pretty much otherwise forgettable. Most of them are almost just the same formula, really a mediocre LP.
-
May 5, 2013An album that came into the world on the wave of a hit single. After the opener track "Radioactive," one should expect an ocean of sameness and gimmicky, formulaic tracks. Truly conventional and disappointing.
-
Nov 7, 2013Imagine Dragons is a generic band, one can find several equal and even better than them, but despite sounding nothing innovative, do the expected work very well, It's Time is soulful and is undoubtedly the best of the cd next of Amsterdam.
Imagine Dragons have a lot to learn yet, but Night Visions opened doors showing a good band charismatic and simple. -

Apr 17, 2015Excelent album, one of the best rock bands of the current time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Jul 21, 2013A few tracks stand out as fantastic tunes (such a "Radioactive" and "Tiptoe") but the rest of the album just blends together in a somber, and dull mix. Imagine Dragons have a lot of potential. Hopefully that potential will be seen in their next album.
-
May 25, 2014The success of this album is both a gift AND a curse. The popularity of Imagine Dragons is almost monumental and unexpected! But alas the appeal eventually wore off.... And became overplayed and seriously overexposed. You can't watch a movie trailer or even listen to the radio without hearing either Radioactive or Demons! I PRAY that they don't release any new music until 2015 at the latest...

Jul 29, 2014Everything is an "almost". This band is almost pop, almost rock, almost deep, almost interesting, almost good. But at the end, you find that that almost never fulfills; what's more, it lets you thirsty, incomplete.

Jun 23, 2017This album started extremely well. Loved the opening few hits all the way up to "Working Man" and after that song it didn't really seem very impactful anymore.
But overall, it was a great album, and set a good foundation for Imagine Dragon's foray into the music industry. Considering that it was the most streamed on platforms like Spotify... -
Aug 7, 2021The only great album by Imagine Dragons.
Best songs: Demons, Radioactive, Nothing Left to Say, Bleeding Out, It's Time
Worst songs: - -
Aug 26, 2014Music is cool as it's raunchy with some distinct styles and diverse. Some of the songs like "On Top Of The World" are happy but then in a sudden turn have a dark mood as in "Radioactibe". The vocals for the most part are clear but can sometimes get a liitle "crispy." I do though like the production and lyrics but the audio is just bad.

Dec 11, 2014The first time I heard Radioactive I felt a kind of "flashback" to a conflictive future, with advanced synthesizer voice and music along with old instruments like drums, I enjoyed this song when creating my group of Rangers in Wasteland 2, ha! Personally I also like the name of the band Imagine Dragons sounds so epic, haha.

Feb 17, 2015Night Vision é maravilhoso, Tem um conjunto e conceito bem proprio pro estilo da banda. É um album que foi feito pra escutar uma vez.. escutar outra vez.. escutar pra sempre. é encantador!
-
Mar 23, 2015This album is what keeps me happy during the day and helps me sleep at night. In my opinion this album is a masterpiece. It's a shame Imagine Dragons' recent album Smoke + Mirrors falls incredibly short in my opinion. The Critic reviews does this album no justice as it is such an amazing album.
-
Sep 26, 2015Just a bit generic really. Imagine Dragons don't add anything to their genre, and don't have enough exceptional skill to create an album to be a classic of the genre.
-
Feb 4, 2016Night visions is nothing without its singles, which range from decent to superb. every other track is rather dull and forgettable. the lyrics speak but do not shout, rather a shame (there is a lot of potential)
Overall this is an average album which although has a focused sound channels its qualities on a few songs -
May 25, 2016Imagine Dragons has got two albums and I think Night Visions is best album from Imagine Dragons and My favourite songs in this album is Underdog, Monster and Radioactive . Radioactive and Monster is the best songs from Imagine Dragons and what that songs is played on TNA and WWE . Very good album .
-
May 29, 2020Nostagia sure is a b*tch. Imagine Dragons led the alt pop-rock fray with their powerful debut.
-
Nov 30, 2017"Night Visions" works on so many levels and is possibly Imagine Dragon's best album. The problem is while lyrically the whole album is extremely well done, some of the sounds just don't work for me. Especially on "Every Night". Overall this album is pretty solid and maybe their best. B

Dec 31, 2017Me encanta casi cada canción de este album, viendome obligado a destacar Radiocative y On the top of the world.
-
Jun 23, 2017I don't know what is your music kind, but i know YOU'LL LIKE THIS ALBUM. Own style, Imagine Dragons surprised with your first studio album! Deep lyrics, different beats results one of my favorites albums of century!
-
Jul 15, 2017The song 'Radioactive' is what got me to listen to this album and i love every single song on it. Radioactive, Demons, and It's time are my all time favorite songs of Imagine Dragons.
-
Jul 25, 2017Su aparición y uno de sus mejores álbumes. Las letras de estos tracks son realmente muy buenas, comparadas a la horrible simplicidad de Evolve. Las percusiones y el sonido alternativo del rock va muy bien con su estilo.

Jan 2, 2018Imagine Dragon's Night Visions is a fantastic debut album. All of the songs are marvelous and the album overall is just fantastic by mixing several genres into this one album.

Jan 22, 2018Some good songs held this overall okay album together. Imagine dragons has stayed as an 'okay' band for so long. Evolve didn't help their case, either.

Sep 6, 2020Un excellent album, je ne comprend pas son mauvais scoring.
Pour leur premier album : RÉUSSITE !
Meilleurs chansons de l'album : Radioactive (et la version avec Kendrick Lamar) et Demons. -
Sep 12, 2018It's not often I rate a perfect 10 but this album deserves it. The singles are class and even those that aren't singles feel like singles. Only _really_ weak track is the closer which gets a bit long and boring but the album lacks low points other than that.
-
Jul 5, 2018"Radioactive" is very well-crafted but "Tiptoe" is just plain annoying. The album itself is a bit inconsistent.

Jul 28, 2019Absolutely amazing album. From the explosive track Radioactive to the nostalgic and emotional Nothing Left To Say, it's all great.

Jul 14, 2019Álbum perfeito sem defeitos Amo e cuido o primeiro álbum dos meus favs

Aug 6, 2020One of their best albums. Even in 2020 it does no feel dated.
The lyrics are deep and the sound combines alternative, indie and pop rock in a great way. Some songs even have electronic elements such as radioactive. -
Aug 6, 2020(I’d give this album a 9,8/10, but I can’t add that exact rating so I’ve rounded it up to 10/10).
This album has amazing metaphorical lyrics at the right point, and each song is unpredictable. No bad songs here. I don’t give it the 10/10 because some bridges are too short. -
Aug 28, 2020one of the finest albums ever. the feels, the vibe. you seriously can't miss out this gem ✨
-
Oct 5, 2021My favorite ID album, with The River being my favorite ID song. It goes from super heavy songs like Amsterdam or Round And Round to really emotional songs such as Nothing Left To Say or My Fault. Really really good, make more albums like this

Apr 8, 2022Night Visions leaves us with a crazy vision... and wonderful of course, with iconic songs and great singing voices

Q MagazineApr 24, 2013It takes alt-rock drama and boy-band syrup and bolts on some fun.-size arena-singalong choruses. [May 2013, p.103]
-
Apr 24, 2013Unfortunately Night Visions is so safe and middle of the road that it leaves you with the same hollow feeling that Las Vegas can, without the dizzying high and sensual assault that got you there in the first place.
-
Apr 24, 2013There are a lot of cosmetics present to cover up the band’s shortcomings, but not even the most epic posturing and glossy production can hide this record’s blemishes.
