This morning, listen to win Night Visions from Imagine Dragons. Emotional struggle is central to Imagine Dragons' ethos. From the beginning it's been the group's goal to take the pain they've each experienced in life and spin it into something redemptive and uplifting. That transformation of emotional pain into art is what drives them as people. With the release of Night Visions, Imagine Dragons finally have a chance to show the world what that magic sounds like. They start off with a big statement in Radioactive, which blends a throbbing backbeat with delicate acoustic guitars and deals lyrically with facing the apocalypse. Meanwhile, the delicacy of tracks like Demons balances the album's expansiveness with a sense of human intimacy. Many of the songs on the album were written late into the night. When the title Night Visions came up, it just seemed to fit perfectly.

Weekday mornings at 10:30, it's Live 95's CD Spotlight.
