IMAGINE DRAGONS ALBUM REVIEW FULL
The lead-up to Evolve didn’t look to have rectified that either, with early singles Believer and Thunder trading in virtually the exact same full-throttle but ultimately blasé sound that had already run its course a full album ago.Īnd really, if Smoke + Mirrors saw Imagine Dragons’ ascension begin to falter, Evolve has it heading for a tailspin. Their 2014 debut Night Visions might’ve filled an easily-replaceable void left by the then-AWOL Killers, but its follow-up Smoke + Mirrors saw an already dimensionally-bankrupt radio-indie sound thinned out even more. The album title certainly says so.Tracing Imagine Dragons’ career path up until now, it’s difficult to see what the appeal is anymore. The different sounding music is good, but I fear Imagine Dragons sound is taking a new root.
I wonder if we will ever hear sounds like Demons and It’s Time again. I wonder if fans will ever get back in Night Visions, the sounds were so vulnerable because it was their coming out party. The sounds fit perfectly with Reynolds voice. In every album, Imagine Dragons pinpoints the lyrically power of music. Origins is supposed to be a new way of music for the band, within the sound, producers, Alex da Kid and Mattman & Robbin, focus on making direct sounds, the older albums really focus on the melodic parts of songs, Origins focuses on the bombastic sounds. Ever since the band’s first album, Night Visions, Reynolds has done this. In this song, Imagine Dragons speaks of how people should be self-empowered, taking over their own life, setting their own goals and making positive choices. Another example is in the album’s second single ‘Machine’.
Reynolds speaks of the problems in the world today and how the solution is said ‘Love’. Reynolds also pursues strong messages in his songs and creates a genius set of song lyrics throughout the entirety of the album. They are considered alternative, but songs sound pop and rock while maintaining their alternative roots. Imagine Dragons really pushes their versatile sounds to new genres. This album, cleverly named Origins, seems like a new start for the band. Imagine Dragons, in its tenth year, shows their diversity of music and created a chill alternative album this time around. So instead of waiting for two years, Imagine Dragons released their new music right away. He said “we could be like other bands, but we’re not any other band”. Lead singer, Dan Reynolds, expressed his thoughts on how bands were “supposed” to wait for a long time to release a new album. Here is a in-depth album review:Īfter their third album, “Evolve”, the band began to create new music right away. Origins is the fourth studio album written by Imagine Dragons, released this morning.
