^ At people don't want to see an artist because they're popular. Now I get why many people in Alternative forum is kinda weird and annoying.

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous but I realized a long time ago that if I claim to be a fan of an artist/band and let something like having no one to go with stand in my way, I am not really a fan. That said, I scored a floor ticket to see them at Barclay's so I am beyond pumped. Knowing my friends, they will one day decide it's OK to like ID and be like, "OMG I wish I had gone!!"

That mural timelapse reminds me of the one that Foster the People had to promote their album Supermodel. However, I can't deny that it's a good one too.
Anyway, Smoke + Mirrors debuts atop in the UK, knocking In the Lonely Hour by Sam Smith. It becomes their first album to debut atop and their second Top 2 there. #1. Smoke + Mirrors#2. Night VisionsFrom the Official Charts:

The more I listen to this album, the more I love it. I can't wait to hear these songs live.

Polaroid, I'm So Sorry and Shots are all great contenders for the next singles!

LOL. They really mean business this time. They are going to slay SO hard with that anthem of repentance. All the heathens will repent and the demons will flee their bodies, jump into a group of pigs, and plummet off a cliff.

Still hearing "Shots" a lot on my local AC station. I'm surprised it only peaked at #75 on the Hot 100?

They suffered the sophomore slump big time. I wonder how their third album will do...

It makes me so upset but, as a touring act, they have NOTHING to worry about. They still have such a huge fan base. They just have to stay on the road, where they make most of their money anyway.

So is "Roots" going to be tacked on to S&M? It seems like such a strange one-off release when the album certainly has more life in it.

What? So Gold never became a single? I always find it strange when artists shoot videos for some songs that won't become singles. I mean, it's a wonderful thing, but still weird. I think Gold is strong enough to be a single. If it does good or bad, well, that's another story.
*goes on a hunt to look for that Roots song*

It was originally thought to be a song dedicated to the fans, but it was also for ESPN's College Gameday specials, which this is one of the two exclusives for ESPN. I'm surprised they're sending it to radio, especially considering there are many songs on the album that would do far better. "Roots" won't do a thing, and it's probably a given considering "Shots" flopped. I can see them tacking it on as a bonus track like they did with Night Visions (it'll probably go to iTunes with the Target exclusives as well).

Congrats to them. I'm guessing that's certified shipped vs actually sold right?
Hope they can turn this album around. I have heard "Shots" way more than "I Bet My Life" but that could just be due to my local HAC station.

RIAA album certs are based on album shipments. 11/14 Billboard 200: SMOKE + MIRRORS - Imagine Dragons ( 481,000 ) = pure album sales

I'm curious as to how they proceed now. They barely promoted this and seemed to just focus on going back out on the road. To their credit, the tour did well, especially in the US (Arenas) so there is certainly interest.

Yeah, almost reminds of Kings of Leon and Mumford & Sons (who managed two hit albums) after their mainstream breakouts. Still managed great material, but perhaps they know touring is their best bet at career longevity vs Pop hits. I saw they had a concert shown in theaters. I wonder how that did?

I find it funny how there isn't a thread for their new era. The album is ok definitely more Pop than their earlier stuff. I like 'I don't know why', 'Whatever it takes' and 'Thunder'.
