拉斯韦加斯、赌城、罪恶之都,在这个充满邪恶诱惑的地方,任何音乐都输给吃角子老虎的电动铃声,任何表演都吸引不了赌客们的视线。这样的环境,让谜幻乐团主唱Dan Reynolds的摇滚梦迷惘了,他愤恨不平的写出“It’s Time”这首歌,跟乐团的高材生们(波士顿的柏克里音乐学院)–吉他手Wayne Sermon、贝斯手Ben McKee、鼓手Daniel Platzman,在赌场里发了疯似的巡演,他用一场又一场的live演出,誓言要让世人明白他的摇滚音乐比任何赌盘都令人亢奋。2012年9月,当谜幻乐团登上告示牌冠军那一刻,他知道他赢了这场赌局。
Imagine Dragons掀起了全球乐坛衔接自Coldplay、Muse、Arcade Fire等乐团所启动的另类流行摇滚的革命浪潮,全美告示牌杂志盛赞:「他们是2012年最闪亮的新星」,亚马逊网站圈选为「2012年最喜欢的摇滚乐团」。Imagine Dragons的首张大碟【Night Visions】发行首周空降全美摇滚专辑榜、另类专辑榜与数字下载销售榜三冠王,同时登上流行专辑榜亚军,专辑中的首支单曲"It's Time"吹响全美摇滚歌曲榜第3名、另类歌曲榜第4名、成人流行歌曲榜第8名、热门单曲榜第15名的号角,乘胜追击的第二波单曲"Radioactive"抢进全美另类歌曲榜亚军与摇滚歌曲榜第8名,同步挺进全美热门单曲榜与英国金榜TOP40。
2012年乐团与葛莱美奖制作人Alex Da Kid(*Rihanna、Eminem)结盟,随后于岁末发行首张大碟【Night Visions】,首支深具摇滚国歌气势的单曲"It's Time"获选为电影「壁花男孩」预告片主题曲、热门影集「花边教主」最终第六季谢幕片尾曲,2012年MTV音乐奖「最佳摇滚音乐录像带」提名,YouTube网站超过1300万浏览人次;缓缓燃烧悸动心情的摇滚曲"Radioactive"被选为2013年瞩目电影「宿主」预告片主题曲。专辑中的"Demons"(#14)、"On Top Of The World"(#16)、"Bleeding Out"(#39)等单曲攻占全美摇滚歌曲榜TOP40,而"Hear Me"也晋升英国金榜TOP40。从努力创作好歌、尽可能唱给更多人听的传统过程中学会乐团行走乐坛的道理,Imagine Dragons为行之有年的伟大摇滚乐传统带来了一新耳目的回归。
