Looks like Mercury - Act 2 might be getting started soon. Imagine Dragons dropped a snippet to a new song on their official Discord server. The file name is "Bones", but it might not be the actual song name. The tags on the file say the song title is "Ragged Insomnia", the artist is "Aged Mens Radio", and the album is "Amigos in Danger" which are all anagrams for Imagine Dragons. Gonna leave the title as "Bones" for now.

Excellent song. Great production from Mattman & Robin. I Hope the new album is filled with bones and wreckeds

The manager confirmed that the label accidently uploaded the wrong mix in the lyric video. Just compare the punchiness of the instruments (especially the chorus) with what's on streaming platforms. They are in the process of fixing it. Here's the normal proper mix. youtu.be/V2SVRJ6dcE4

This is decent. Reminds me of Foster the People β namely the chorus.

Love the song -- but why release this when Enemy is still rising on certain metrics (pop + streaming)? I know ID songs take forever to catch on, but am I the only one who thinks it's too soon, even if it's only going for adds on alt for now?

I didn't like it, but also didn't hate it. The beginning kinda threw me off but it got better by the end, I think it might grow on me... This reminds me of what CWK have put out recently

Yeah this is pretty decent but the way theyβve been quick to follow up single after single in the middle of anotherβs chart runs might end up becoming a little excessive.

It is really catchy. If it cross-overs to pop it will have an extremely long shelf life. Expect it to show up on Billboard YE 2024.

WTF happens to his vocals right before the chorus?

Enemy is really more of a Riot Games deal - it interrupted Wrecked and now I guess the label gets revenge by interrupting Enemy?

I hope they send this to HAC & pop, it's too good to be thrown away

Yeah, Iβd love to see this cross over! They have inevitably regained momentum from βEnemyβ so once thatβs run its course Iβd say give it a chance. Would definitely repay βWreckedβ underperforming.

It also debuts at #93 at the Hot 100. Not even Enemy debuted for 2/3 weeks. Its charted for like 2 more weeks now, peaking at 87 without a push at other formats. Looks like their relative commercial rough patch is over, thisβll probably be climbing up Pop in a few months.

So i donβt know whats going on but in looking for Mercury act 2, all i see is a preorder for acts 1&2 combined, but no single album for just act 2 by itself. I hope they arenβt trying to make people who already bought act 1 to make us buy 1 again to get act 2? Of course i didnβt really care for act 1 much except for a couple songs so if this is whats happening maybe i wont worry about buying it at allπ€·ββοΈ

Another thing to note is that the price has been set low due to this. Act 1 + Act 2 (32 songs) for just 20 dollars as compared to the 14 dollars for just Act 1 (13 tracks).

I kinda like this. I don't wanna speak too soon but, with how amazing "Wrecked" was and their past two singles being pretty decent... I kinda have hope for them being good again.

This one has grown on me quite a bit actually. Reminiscent of the indie pop / rock sound in the mid-10s back when they were semi-good and acts like Foster the People were in their prime. Lukewarm reception to this is no shock because it's Imagine Dragons and they start at a disadvantage from the get-go because of the name, but this is a solid song.
