There’s no way this isn’t an album announcement.

I guess there was way, lol.
But something might be happening. This was posted to their social medias, and for some reason they pinned it on their Twitter.

I have a feeling they won't be rehashing the "Evolve"/"Origins" sound this time around, and even if both albums had their gems ("Whatever It Takes", "I Don't Know Why", "Birds"), I do hope that's the case, since the band got too much undeserved backlash.
Looking forward to hear what they have to offer, and hopefully it will get them back to the public's good graces. 🤞

Maybe they'll do a disco album as well? :)

I hope it’s a fresh sound too, while not losing their angst.

Okay, I need these guys to drop, and soon. Not because I’m particularly hyped. It’s just that AJR and Kid LAROI absolutely cannot go #1 on Alt.

Wow that was loaded with a ton of clues I just don't comprehend. It had a guy in a horse mask though, which is all I need to justify interest in this.

Looks like new single out on Friday. You can get this if you ask Alexa "Is Ragged Insomnia a good band name." Might be called "Ragged Insomnia" – ETA: nvm that's an anagram for Imagine Dragons. Also I'm just gonna go ahead and move this over to the rock board since all signs are pointing to this being a single, and it'll likely go to radio right away anyways.

I hope they put as much effort into the song as they did marketing for it.

I'm still mad that WALKING THE WIRE & NEXT TO ME don't get the single treatment they deserve.

Alt desperately needs this to be a strong tune. Any current based format is only as strong as its # of verified hits and verified superstars

Honestly, the only radio single I hated from the last two albums (which really felt like one era) was "Thunder", though I didn't care for "Bad Liar" either. The others were decent. A lot of what added to the annoyance for me was the glut of imitators. But in 2021, I dare say that new Imagine Dragons could be a welcome change of pace, as long as it's not another "Thunder".

I’ve been patiently waiting for new material from these guys. I’m a fan from as early as Night Visions & they are easily my #2 live show. I hope they bring their A game this go around.

I have no idea WTF I just watched, but I love animal images. Also I'm pretty sure that's the only positive thing I might say about this song once it's released. I've been over this band ever since they pulled that "Thunder" crap.

Gotta say, sounded a lot better than I expected. I actually enjoyed this, maybe they're actually turning around again.

I pray that the picture purposefully depicting real instruments next to the production equipment is a good sign that they're moving past their electro phase and are trying something different.

i liked this on first listen (and i'll probably be the only person that does so)
it's miles better than cutthroat, not that that was a high bar to get over though lol

I want to hate "Follow You" but it's too competently written and mixed. It actually kind of works, at least on a first listen.
"Cutthroat" is bizarre. Dan Reynolds is doing a Brent Smith (Shinedown vocalist) thing over a Maroon 5 instrumental. It's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

I'm calling it now, #1 Alternative and Pop.
This screams crossover.
I don't hate it, at all.

MEH.
They had so much time, and this is what they release? Shame.

Sounds like "Whatever It Takes" part 2 basically. Fine for what it is, but not something I'd be dying to come back to.
