#IMAGINE DRAGONS RADIOACTIVE ALBUM SERIES#
The video shows a series of fights between puppets, and just seems rather silly and childish to me, taking away from the overall power of the song. The official video produced for the song was directed by Syndrome and features actors Lou Diamond Phillips, who plays the ringleader of an underground puppet-fighting ring, and Alexandra Daddario, who plays a mysterious female drifter on a quest to save her friends in Imagine Dragons from Phillips. The song has sold over 10 million digital copies, and peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, and #1 on the Alternative, Hot Rock and Rock Airplay charts. I wanted to write a masculine and primal song about conjuring and rising above human weakness.” It’s about becoming self-empowered and rising above that. The dark lyrics reference apocalyptic and revolutionist themes, though band front man Dan Reynolds told Rolling Stone that it’s “ basically about my struggle with anxiety and depression. It’s a bombastic alternative electronic rock song with booming dubstep beats, loads of distortion, and dramatic soaring choruses that make for an intense and exciting listen. “Radioactive” was their second single, and was included on their EP Continued Silence and later on their debut album Night Visions. I like them a lot, though I’ll admit many of their songs have been overplayed to the point where they got to be annoying. Unfortunately, as it happens with a number of bands who’ve become hugely popular, there’s also been a bit of a backlash, with a sizable number of people hating them as well. Since the release of their breakout single “It’s Time” in 2012, Imagine Dragons has become one of the biggest and most successful music acts in the world, selling over 35 million singles in the U.S. The song at #42 on my list of 100 Best Songs of the 2010s is “ Radioactive” by Las Vegas-based pop-rock band Imagine Dragons.
