This is one of those songs that I could grow to hate a little more each day.

I don't love this but this is easily the closest single they're released to their darker more cinematic stuff (besides Radioactive I guess). Seriously guys, whenever Imagine Dragons puts out awful songs like I Bet My Life or Roots I listen to Battle Cry and remind myself they can made genuinely good songs. The instrumentation is a bit minimalist and there are some pretty bad lyrics in here (it's one thing to use first things' first, but they apparently don't know that "third things third" and "last things last" sound dumb and aren't in fact figures of speech) but ehh, it's still better then a lot of their singles, partly because I can hear that darker cinematic sound poking through and partly because many of their other singles suck.

Not really a fan. Better than "Roots" at least. Let's see whether it'll grow on me Growing on me, but that chorus is still pretty annoying.

I don't like the "first things first, second things second" etc. lyric but everything else about this is solid.

I really like the imagery, even if it feels a little cheap in some moments. I mean at 0:48 that is some awful green screen.
Oh, it's Dolph Lundgren! I knew I recognize that guy.

I don't quite get the hate from alternative crowds over this. To me, it's their most alternative sounding song since their debut, and is very reminiscent of "Radioactive." In fact, I'd argue half of their debut was "poppier" than this.

I heard this today and I actually really dug it. I know I criticized the lyrics earlier but if you can ignore them it's a very enjoyable song.

this has slowly started to grow on me. Just have to get past the stupid "third thing's third, last thing's last" lyrics and I could chart it soon, instrumental is pretty good throughout and especially at the end.
still leagues above "I Bet My Life" either way, that's never going to change.
