A procession of cute and cuddly puppets duke it out to the death in a cockfighting-like ring as hustlers look, wagering Benjamins, in the new video for 'Radioactive,' the opening track and latest single off Imagine Dragons' 2012 debut album, 'Night Visions.' Actor Lou Diamond Phillips ('Southland') stars in the clip as the head of the whole blood-sport operation, while Alexandra Daddario ('Parenthood') appears as the woman who brings the pink stuffed animal that (spoiler alert!) finally brings down the menacing, Muppet-like stuffed beast who rules the roost.

Imagine Dragons, 'Night Visions' – Album Review

John Tarpley — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 15:00:44 +0000

The omnipresent single 'It's Time' (you've heard it during Wimbledon, the MLB All-Star Game, the trailer for 'Perks of Being a Wallflower' and, in a big seal of approval, 'Glee'), has kept Imagine Dragons in the spotlight for the better part of 2012. The track, with its earwig of a mandolin loop and bespoke anthemics, is the sound of Foo Fighters and Arcade Fire's better angels joining forces to beat U2 at its own game. As a bonus, in the process of showing up the crusty old overlords, they manage to make an album better than anything released in years by a certain other similar-sounding Las Vegas band.

Joe Robinson — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 15:13:59 +0000
