Such well crafted instrumentals and super memorable melodies on nearly every corner of this album, I can totally see the hype
An incredible listen both emotionally and musically. It would pain me to give this anything less than a 100 personally
I haven’t listened to a ton of post-punk albums but wow was this quite a memorable listen. The central theme of being completely apathetic to your own existence permeates this album deeply, even on the songs where this theme isn’t the main focus. There is a near perfect balance of lowkey tracks, thematic diversions, and even a few straight up rock songs pop up on here.

Probably the best Imagine Dragons album. It all went downhill from here.
