Heard it for the first time on my headphones today. First I thought I had clipping issues, but I don’t think so… what’s up with the distortion? If it’s on purpose, it sounds horrible to me.

    Most of Imagine Dragons music is intentionally compressed with “artistic intent”. Much the same way as some jazz singers will use microphones from the 1930s to get a specific tone.

    Yeah it sounds horrible. It was the sound they were going for.
