Even though Night Visions has several repackaged tunes from Imagine Dragons’ previous EPs, including the instantly appealing breakthrough hit “It’s Time,” the band’s debut LP is a confident, commercially savvy collection of energetic hooks, crunchy electro beats and glossy synthesizers. With sweeping choruses and booming bass, it’s big-sounding party rock, but the savvy, kitchen-sink production of Alex da Kid makes other would-be singles like “Bleeding Out” and “Tiptoe” as interesting as they are overwhelming. Even though under all the layers there are occasionally pockets of pure cheese (“With the beast inside, there’s nowhere we can hide,” Dan Reynolds sings on “Demons”), the scope of the band’s full-length debut leaves a big impression.
