Imagine Dragons. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is:

They picked up hate for being marketed like they're some kind of super hard rock, even though they're not. But their music is good for the genre it is. The lead singer was raised Mormon, but is now an activist for LGBT youth.

    That thunder song was legitimately terrible.

    I think it was ACDC, and there's a drinking game that goes with it

    I don't like them because there's no singer, just a guy screaming in an auto tune cranked to 10.

    I can guarantee with as corporate and overproduced as that shit is they 100% use autotune. When you do it right you can't tell. I use it in my home studio even, most songs use it across all genres.

    It's difficult to autotune screaming and sound that good. As a Windmill scene fan, the problem with Imagine Dragons is not the vocals (the lead has awesome technical abilities); it's the lack of a point.

    what on earth does any of this mean?

    what is a Windmill scene and what do you mean by lack of a pint? like a pint of beer? they would be better if they were drunk?

    I've got to disagree with this one. Imagine Dragons was synthesized in a lab to be as corporate sounding as possible. The lead singer especially is grating. It's exactly the singing style that Ai would come up with. That's not a random comment, I know because old people show me shitty Ai songs on a regular basis and they sound like Imagine Dragons.
