Imagine Dragons - Mercury Act 1 | Album Reaction

[@gamps11596]

There's some people who don't like whenever Dan screams but I love it. He's not screaming just for the sake of it. Hes putting his all into it because he's passionate and genuine.

[@blizzardz9797]

Absolutely, I agree with you there 100%. I love when he does that though but it also means a lot as well.

[@jadenthemusicfreak]

I guess, but I'm sorry, even as an Imagine Dragons superfan, the screaming just kills me inside on Cutthroat and Giants. Giants is actually a neat song but it EASILY could've been my personal favorite without those two banshee shrieks on the final chorus. On Bullet In A Gun or Digital from Origins it never bothered me because the aggression in his voice built itself around the song, but I don't like when he just... shrieks incoherently. You know what I'm trying to say?

[@cupafail]

@@jadenthemusicfreak I agree with you, I listened through the album last night, and during the screaming on Giants, I just thought to myself "what is happening right now?". It was just straight up screaming, didn't feel like it fit nicely into the song at all.

[@jadenthemusicfreak]

@@cupafail Yeah definitely

[@nightski380]

@@jadenthemusicfreak For some reason, it doesn’t bother me at all.

[@AmyAwesome81]

My favorites are probably Giants, Dull Knives, and Wrecked

[@blizzardz9797]

Oh 100% they are definitely in my top 5. I just can't get enough of this album!

[@Thwip_]

Well, the most "rocky" of the album actually. Noice choice

[@TheEthanCouch]

Dull Knives is so good

[@fredmicho1739]

Giant its a good one ....but hard to hear when someone have problèmes ...than have to face IT

[@Spealer]

This album is so much better then origins

[@blizzardz9797]

I would agree with you 100%. I am going to work on a ranking order for the tracks and hopefully get that uploaded tomorrow or Sunday!

[@hudson8888]

I think people hate on origins too much, I think it’s a really good album. For me it’s tied with Mercury.

[@kostasmira2933]

For me the top top album that i loved was and is the night visions. But this album is the next one.

[@Spealer]

@@blizzardz9797 Oh also If you haven't listened to smoke + mirrors by imagine dragons I would love to see a reaction to that!

[@blizzardz9797]

@@Spealer Honestly it's been actually been a while since I've listened to that album in full length 😂

[@itsjoel_yt1436]

Dull knives really hit me

[@jadenthemusicfreak]

Same, I really dig that song

[@trystanlghry6466]

@Atsuko Hajumira!!! LOL

[@TRIPforPIRT]

There were parts of this entire album that were straight gut punches, but I walked away from the first listen with Dull Knives still on my mind

[@apocwarriorSLHP]

Best Imagine Dragons album since Smoke + Mirrors! Dull Knives is my favorite 😭❤ But i love Cutthroat, Giants, My Life, Wrecked, Lonely and Follow You too

[@Nawepp]

Dull Knives really caught me off guard One of my fav from Imagine Dragons ever omg

[@miahan8988]

My most favourite song from this album is “Giants”. I can’t scream my lungs out where I live without alerting the neighbours so it’s very cathartic when Dan screams. It’s like he screams out my pain *for* me, I’m grateful for that. I love all of the song in this album and I listen them all on repeat ❤️

[@adityabhujbal6891]

Loved the review. Giants should also be re-released as a single, with a music video.

[@blizzardz9797]

Yeah a lot of people have commented saying Giants is one of their favourites. It's a brilliant tune and you never know like.. they could have another music video lined up 😂

[@giuseppealessandroacone]

This album is as beautiful as it is sad

[@Shroo26]

Giants is my fav, by far. Simply put, i love the screams, they’re layer well and bounce of the deep vocals very well.

[@blizzardz9797]

Honestly I really like the screaming too. I have my list made out in terms of ranking order and will be making that video tomorrow 😁

[@Shroo26]

Sweeet!! I look forward to it!

[@carloseduardogalarzareyes6493]

I'm loving the album :)

[@blizzardz9797]

Oh bro, same here! It is amazing.. I'm loving it also.

[@redone2728]

Me too! I fell in love with it since I heard them present it on iHeart Radio acoustically

[@adrianramos137]

Monday and No Time for Toxic People are my favorites off the album! 🔥

[@Adrian-mn1js]

They have totally changed alot, and I like alot that he's scream singing now puts all the feelings in the music so well and understandable absulotuely love it!

[@portorolla4157]

While watching I was worried you weren't going to like some of the more darker toned ones, like Giants, Dull Knives, and Cutthroat. I'm glad you enjoyed these just as much as I did, you've earned a sub :)

[@blizzardz9797]

I appreciate that! Yeah I actually loved when he had those screaming moments and those darker themes. I have a ranking order made out and will be making a video tomorrow at some stage. Thanks very much again! 😁

[@budbad8024]

honestly this album is one of my favorites, my other favourite is smoke and mirrors because they are they only ones with real emotion and dark thoughts. I loved origins and the happiness but I like the true flip back and forth between depression and happiness with the changes in life.

[@felicityalaniz9887]

Dull knifes, my life, and giants are my favs 🔥

[@WaRsNice]

dude, great reaction! #1 for me #1, also liked dull knives, my life. Overall the whole album is great

[@blizzardz9797]

Yeah it's really hard to choose favourites alright. But it's a fantastic album 😂

[@lostpdreams]

I'm so happy that I found someone who reacted to this new album just a few days after the songs were posted. I've been listening to this new album the whole day and it is amazing. I have so many favorite songs; however, I do enjoy Lonely, Wrecked, and One Day the most.

[@blizzardz9797]

Yeah I was listening to it again today and I had to make my ranking order 😂 it was difficult to say the least, I but I will be making a video covering my ranking order soon!

[@lostpdreams]

@@blizzardz9797 Really excited to see how you rank the songs :D. I'd have a hard time with it cuz all of them are special on their own way

[@LYury.]

A good video, congratulations bro! My favorites from the album were "Lonely and Easy Come Easy Go"!

[@blizzardz9797]

Two great tunes right there! I am gonna listen to the album a couple more times before I can really make a ranking order, but I am very impressed by those songs 😂

[@LYury.]

I'm glad you're okay. But the stress sometimes is for us to put out HEHHES. But thankfully everything is already fine!. I am fine! (I became Online Teacher 😅). I'm doing fine. I saw that you appeared on a live of mine this week, when I spoke for you, you had already gone and you didn't listen hehehe

[@aydenisawesome603]

I have a 4 way tie for my favorite track! Easy Come, Easy Go, It's Ok, No Time For Toxic People, and One Day are those tracks

[@dez-m]

Giants is one of the best songs I've heard from this year... She'd a year the first time I heard it

[@iwannabetheunknown]

Tysm for the reaction..They never disappoint ❤️..and there is so much pain and sorrow in this album ...if I felt it in his screaming🥺..My life was out of the world 🥺🥺.. ❤️❤️..Your love for ID was evident in the whole video 😁❤️

[@blizzardz9797]

I appreciate that! Thanks very much 😁 Yeah it's a very emotional album and it could definitely be my favourite ID albums to date. It's filled with so many themes and you can hear the sadness in his voice all the way through. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@dylanhealy653]

Nice album man, never knew imagine dragons was so sad but it’s very good , my favourite were wrecked ,it’s okay and follow you. Great reaction keep it up 👍

[@darkangeleternal99]

i love dull knives a lot, the lyrics is my exact feeling everyday

@@blizzardz9797 Yo welcome

[@elenaflor7171]

Imagine Dragons is my favorite band and I am so glad that you enjoyed this album as much as I did. Greetings from Spain.

[@matttherunner3043]

What I missed in this album were songs that make you want to go out there and give it your all. I am an athlete and songs like Whatever It Takes or All Eyes for example are just so awesome to listen to right before a tough training session or during it. And then On Top Of The World right after it :) Cutthroat is a fantastic song for that, but that's about it.

[@marcelotto6825]

I bought the Combined Act 1 and 2 album a while ago, mostly because I love "Wrecked". But then I went to see them live at the Cape Town Stadium in February and I fell in love with both albums. I actually think Act 2 is better than Act 1. But I listen to both the whole time whilst driving my car.

[@СтаниславНеделин-ъ8ы]

Probably I'm the one who wrote this song) but my favourite is Lonely, it's so smooth and chipper the same time. I love it!

[@blizzardz9797]

Yeah I may have to agree with you there. Like it's gonna be hard to come up with a proper ranking but I'm looking forward to it 😂 lonely is a wild card at the moment

[@mercury3775]

I love Dull Knives, is my favorite from the album.

[@themuslimwall]

The album is giving a great fight with Night Visions at #2 after Smoke and Mirrors at #1. Great bolt after Evolve and that travesty in Origins.

[@valeriamacias7007]

I loved this video, I felt accompanied 💕

[@AbelardoGaming]

Giant is my favorite

Came to just see the dull knives reaction 😂 such a great song.. man oh man how we all wish we had Dan Reynolds voice abilities

[@TheEthanCouch]

Dull Knives, #1, and Follow You. Weird combo but those 3 are bangers

[@mercury3775]

I think this album is one of thier best work. And I hope Mercury act 2 is coming soon. Can't wait.

[@blizzardz9797]

It legit is my favourite album from them 100%. I'm glad you love it also! Bones was the first track from Mercury Act 2 released, so I have a good feeling we will get the album between July and September 2022. Just a guess tho 😂. I was gonna react to Bones but I had other stuff going on at the time.

[@minecrafter7850]

i like monday the best. its a true bop and its meaning is awesome, dan’s vocals are crazy high range and the melody is 🔥

[@nom-y6s]

Lonely is also from the perspective of a man in his last moments after living a life with drug addiction.

[@kareenkk356]

I loveeee imagine dragons, Dan is may favorite singer, their songs are just magical in everything.

[@pauljohncayabyab8986]

My favorites are Giants ( it makes me cry actually), also My Life ( the emotions) then, Wrecked 🥺 lasly Monday.

[@JoeJoeJoe25]

Yes this album maybe their best to date Origins, Evolve, Smoke+Mirrors and Night Vision are too cramped it's almost lost it soul *Can't wait for Act-2

[@blizzardz9797]

Yo I 100% agree with you. Yeah and I am so looking forward to Act 2. I hope Rick Rubin is producing that album as well though.

it has very low ratings but i think they are haters.this album is fantastic.

[@blairebelarus]

some people just hate imagine dragons because of how popular they are (not a valid reason :/ )

[@kylet4140]

It’s just like Coldplay. It’s almost trendy not to like them because they’re so popular in certain circles especially people that feel like the outcasts but also they’re corporately popular with advertisers and things. It’s a stupid reason not to like a whole band but you’re stupid if you hate Imagine Dragons anyway

[@temporarystranger95]

Wondering where you have been and was getting worried! Glad to see you again and that you are well. Definitely a new scene but it’s a fine look as long as you can put up videos. Not at all familiar with this band, but enjoyed your reaction to this album. Rick Rubin is a legendary producer. Really liked the opening song (My Life). Many of the tunes remind me of David Byrnes and The Talking Heads (if they were recorded by Rick Rubin in the 21st century). Lots of unique instrumentation and vocal tones. Sounds like many of the songs are lyrically sad, almost depressing. Anyway,, enjoyed your reaction. Don’t be such a stranger!

[@blizzardz9797]

I love your thoughts and comparisons with this album but yeah I must agree with you, Rick is a fantastic producer and this album is just amazing. Yeah I'm doing fine now man, it's a difference scenery but yanno we will try and make it work for now 😂

[@temporarystranger95]

This song is about me but the reason is also more complicated then that if your interested

It’s all good!). Excellent analysis throughout! Your views are very well thought out and articulated. Love when you sing parts of the song! Excellent! You have a nice falsetto! “Rick Rubin you son-of-a-bitch!” Haha. All-in-all, you did a great job with this ranking! Two thumbs up, my man! 👍👍. It was a banger!”
