(I know I could just go listen and find out myself, but I also want to interact with y'all, so if you think this is stupid just scroll past)

I haven't been feeling like listening to a lot of ID in the past year or so, and when I do, I keep going back to S+M or some of the EP songs, also Night Visions some times. I've been thinking about listening to Mercury but I feel it might not be what I like to listen to now.

So, to others out here with taste similar to mine, what did you think about it?

Hello everyone, I share these discs that I recently bought :D / Hola buenas a todos, comparto estos discos que compre hace poco :D

I expect this to get downvoted as most of my posts do. Go back and check out the ones I made about how we should DRS some of our shares on ComputerShare....

I'm not trying to spread FUD. I just need a wrinkle brained to explain to me how they can't just use a crash as an escape hatch. People will paper hand. Not all. A lot of us are riding this til the moon or nothing. But there are a lot of X and XX holders who could panic and sell. I've read the DD about the float being 3x'd with synthetics (or however many fake shares thet have made). Is there no way thru calls or puts, a combo, buying paper hand shares, snaller shorts who get margin called and have to liquidate their xxxxxx shares.

Idk. I'm not some expert. I buy. I hold. I DRS'd. I'm not selling. I am just looking for someone to give me a succinct explanation of how we are insulated against a crash.

Hopefully all this news about Kenny boy lying will get him fucked, and could be a catalyst for MOASS. Maybe one of the many other short positions could trigger a domino effect of MOASS's one way or another.

I just need a wrinkle brain plz.

Thanks fam

Honestly I'm not a huge fan of the newer albums imagine dragons released. I've listened to them sence they released smoke + mirrors and by far it is their best album. Its the most rock like album with tons of great songs like gold and who we are Tell me your opinion if you want idk

I've been searching the internet for a couple of hours trying to find an HD version of the Smoke + Mirrors original (black) cover art, but can't find anything above 1500x1500px. Does anyone know if a version with a higher resolution exists anywhere?

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks all.

Hey all!

I recently moved into an apartment with my girlfriend and she has a bunch of framed artwork from her favorite band. It got me thinking that it would be super cool to get some of the Tim Cantor album artwork from Smoke + Mirrors framed and put it up with hers! Any ideas on where I can find it. I've done very limited research so far but I haven't come up with anything beyond just the standard album cover. If anyone knows where I can find some of the individual song art pieces I'd love to know. Appreciate the help!

I've heard from somebody that Mercury is very similar to Smoke + Mirrors and a lot of people disagreed. I can understand that the sound is quite different but Mercury hit me literally the same way as Smoke + Mirrors. Also, lyrics are mostly about feelings, both good and bad, Mercury just has a little bit fewer metaphors and is easier to understand. Every song in S+M is unique and catchy, it seems that we can say the same to Mercury.

The idea I want to share is that Mercury Act 1 is actually Smoke + Mirrors that went through Evolve (evolved). I really wanna know thoughts of others, so what do you think?

I collect every single version of each album and I've noticed there are at least 3 deluxe versions of Smoke + Mirrors. For instance Evolve and Origins have two. I think Night Visions also has multiple ones, so would that mean that the amount of deluxe versions decreased over time?

Edit: I forgot about the existence of the Japanese version of Evolve

I just got the Vinyl Box Set for my bday (so excited 😆) and i saw the track list for smoke + mirrors and it’s missing thief, the unknown, second chances and release. I saw on discogs that the box set has these but mine doesn’t. Is this the same for anyone else?

Did anyone see what it was, I just saw a notification for it and it was gone.

Personally, my favorite is S+M, the Origins, then Night Visions, and then Evolve (party because I haven’t finished Evolve)

Welcome to thread about results of our Smoke + Mirrors Survivor 2 game! Feel free to discuss here!

Hey, whatzupp my fellow firebreathers. Ok, no need to kill me! Or now, at least! Today, the time for the results of S+M Survivor re-do final round and therefore of the whole competition has arrived and I must say that this round was, like most of this game's rounds, CLOSE! Only 1 VOTE decided in this last duel between Dream and The Fall about which song will be the defeated one and which will stand as the victor! Well, no hesitation! Which song got this 1 vote more and it's getting eliminated?

...

DREAM. It's kinda unluck for this song, and that is because, it got the runner-up title even in the first edition! It's not bad though, cause 2nd place is really beautiful rank for this beautiful song and the chance to participation in final round duel was well deserved! It is therefore the last one eliminated with 42 votes with being only ONE VOTE AHEAD! Congrats on second silver though! Let's move on!

The main question still reamains: Which song is our NEW SMOKE + MIRRORS SURVIVOR?

^(DRUMROLL, PLEASE!)

THE FALL!

Sending love and congratulations to this song cause the win was definitely deserved! Epic closer got only 1 vote less, that is, 41 votes and it has survived till the very end, it's even rising 3 spots up in the rankings! While the last winner, Shots was defeated with 4th place, The Fall now became this sub's new favorite S+M song! Therefore, it will join Amsterdam in Best of the Best Survivor 2!

Feel free to discuss anything about this game! Upsides, downsides,.. Are you happy with final ranking? How would YOU rank these songs? Comment your opinions below!

One big thank you for y'all who has participated in this polls so far! I love making these and I hope y'all had fun ^(cough, except Hopeless Opus being 8th, cough cough..)! I think you know what comes next! EVOLVE SURVIVOR 2 starts on Tuesday! Get your priorities in this game straight, I'm looking forward to this game, too! See the results of first edition here.

Previous round 17 - final round thread *|

Hi I've seen some people in the forum saying that everyone would like the LP5's title to be smoke + mirrors phase 2 or something of the sort Can I ask why? Where does this idea come from? Or what's up? Thanks in advance y'all.

Welcome to new round! Poll for it is closing on Thursday, August 27th at 7PM GMT! Come vote in Survivor, too!

Hello, everybody! At first, I wanna say that Smoke + Mirrors is really awesome album and it proves the fact that every round is becoming tougher to choose which song to vote for and each round is close as hell! We awere close to another tiebreaker! Only 1 vote decided about which song will be getting eliminated in round 10! Which song got so?

...

HOPELESS OPUS. Sad result. At least for everyone who loves this song (including me) and that because in first edition of S+M Survivor it went 3rd, this time it falls 5 spots to 8th place! 25 votes led to the sad destiny of this song, while number two song got 24 votes. Which song will be eliminated next time?

Honorable mention receive 3 songs this time. Each got 10 votes and these songs are again Shots, Smoke and Mirrors and I'm So Sorry.

VOTING: Vote for song you like the LEAST out of songs alive. Song with the most votes will be eliminated at the end of this round with final 7th place of this Survivor game. VOTE ONLY ONCE, PLEASE!

Which song should be next to go or which one should be the Smoke + Mirrors Survivor? Feel free to discuss anything in comments!

Poll for our first round will be closing on Friday, July 31st at 11AM! Don't hesitate and come VOTE, too!

Well, well, wel...come to our second Survivor game of their re-do series! Last game, Night Visions Survivor 2 ended recently, but I think it wouldn't be bad to not hesitate and right now start a game for boys' second album, Smoke + Mirrors! Yup, that's right! SMOKE + MIRRORS SURVIVOR 2 starts RIGHT NOW!

At first, I want to say few moreless important points, before we'll get started:

• First edition of S+M Survivor was completed at the end of the year 2016, which is more than three and a half year! I think it will be interesting to see the changes, again!
• In the game, there will be 13 regular edition tracks + 4 Deluxe tracks (Thief, The Unknown, Second Chances, Release). No Super Deluxe track (Warriors, Battle Cry, Monster, Who We Are) will be included. They will have their chance in Soundtrack songs Survivor and I want, again, follow Cheezus' tracklist for the game.

Please, READ THE RULES before voting:

• There will be competing 17 songs, so we'll have 16 rounds in this Survivor. In each of them, you vote out your LEAST FAVORITE song out of surviving songs. Each round will take around 48 hours.
• At the end of each round, song with most votes will be ELIMINATED from the game. That keeps going on and on, until there is one song standing and surviving - Smoke + Mirrors Survivor!
• If in any of round's results will be tie for first place, tied songs will have their separate round/duel (1 day long) where will be decided which song will be eliminated in that round. (Another tie in this mid-round means elimination of both of them.)
• I highly recommend to listen to these songs one more time before you vote, to get better perspective about these masterpieces.
• DO NOT VOTE more than once! Thank you in advance that you'll not screw the results for others. Remember, I can see anything. :)

See the results of Smoke + Mirrors Survivor 1 and here's ranking back then:

• 1st place and the WINNER: Shots
• 2nd place: Dream
• 3rd place: Hopeless Opus
• 4th place: The Fall
• 5th place: Thief
• 6th place: Trouble
• 7th place: Smoke and Mirrors
• 8th place: Gold
• 9th place: I'm So Sorry
• 10th place: I Bet My Life
• 11th place: Friction
• 12th place: It Comes Back to You
• 13th place: The Unknown
• 14th place: Seco

Hello everybody! Here we are with brand new round of S+M Survivor 2 round! With today's elimination of one song, we'll have already the medalist in this game and we'll be reeeaally close to end of this competition! But! Let's not hurry here, at first, which song is the one that not got a chance to be alive in our TOP 3?

...

SHOTS. This is historical elimination! Why? In previous S+M Survivor it won, in the second Ultimate Survivor it earned silver and in the first Ultimate Survivor it was the winner! Ending up with 22 votes, it is next song to be eliminated while falling from the very gold spot 3 spots down to 4th place! Well, only three songs remain! Which one will be NOT in final round?

With elimination of Shots, we already know that we'll have a new Smoke + Mirrors Survivor!

VOTING: Vote for song you like the LEAST out of songs alive. Song with the most votes will be eliminated at the end of this round with final 3rd place of this Survivor game and will not be in the final round. VOTE ONLY ONCE, PLEASE.

Hey, whats up, Nico here! Last S+M Survivor 2 round number 9 was one of the closest I've ever seen anywhere I did Survivor games. We almost had a 4-way tie, cause 4 songs got 9 votes! But then, around three hours till deadline, last, deciding vote arrived to one of these songs and this one is getting eliminated at the end. Which one got this unlucky destiny?

...

POLAROID. This was unluck indeed. The last, 10th vote came to this song and we must say goodbye to it with 10 votes and final 9th place. At least it runned away from last place it got in first edition and it rose great 8 spots up! Will we see another close round next time?

Honorable mention goes again for Dream that gathered only 4 votes!

Hello everybody, Nico is back! At first, accept my apologies for the delay. But I was on vacation for a few days and I had no thoughts on Survivor at all. But, I'm finally back with our first results of S+M Survivor 2! About them, I guess most of us expected that this song will be eliminated first. (Judging by the comments below first round post, at least.) Well, which song got that unflattering, last place?

...

RELEASE. This beatiful acoustic song that ends the basic deluxe version got at total 42 voters and is getting voted out with last, that is, 17th place of this Survivor. It also fell down two sad spots since first edition. Well, second round starts right now! Which song should be the next to go?

Also, newsflash! I will give a honorable mention each round till TOP 5 to song(s) that got the least votes! This time, I'll honor Shots and Smoke and Mirrors that received 0 votes! Well done!

Anyway, hello ladies and gentlemen of this sub, I'm here after another two days, to declare another song that got the most votes in last S+M Survivor 2 round and then eliminate it. This round was quite weaker in term of number of total votes, but I don't mind about that here. Which song got voted out this time?

...

I BET MY LIFE. Well, at total, 19 people bet their votes to this song and their bet was successful. It wasn't so easy though, second song was following it closely with 15 votes. I Bet My Life is now getting eliminated with #12 of this edition of S+M Survivor, falling 2 places down since first Survivor series. Which song will be next?

Honorable mention will get 4 songs this time! Song that is worth this kind of a mention for already fourth time is Polaroid. Third one goes to I'm So Sorry and Smoke and Mirrors and premiere mention goes to Dream! They got 3 votes each!

Round 05 voting is closing on Friday, August 14th at 9PM GMT, so let's vote and come participate!

Hello and welcome to our brand new round of current Survivor of boys' second album, Smoke + Mirrors! For those who missed what happened yesterday, two songs running for elimination got the same number of votes at the end. Those songs were Trouble and The Unknown and they were battling in tiebreaker duel! Well, I expected closer duel, but nevermind! Let's see which song got defeated!

...

TROUBLE. Out of total 50 votes, Trouble had that trouble that it gathered more votes, that is, 29 votes and with this amount of votes is eliminated with unflattering 14th place. More unflattering thing is, that it hugely fell down 8 spots in S+M Survivor ranking. Sad bilantion, but we're moving on to a fact that The Unknown is getting another chance! Will it be saved or shot?

VOTING: Vote out song you like the LEAST out of songs alive. Song with the biggest amount of votes at the end of this round will be ELIMINATED with 13th place of this Survivor. Make sure you've listened to all songs. Do NOT vote more than once.
