Imagine Dragons claim that Evolve is an evolution, though in truth, to some, it may feel like they have simply gone a bit far out into left-field. end on вЂњDancing In The Dark,вЂќ an attempt at being sensual, but in some listenerвЂ™s ears may fall a little flat. A sassy little romp that could score the next MTV surreality, вЂњStart OverвЂќ is not entirely negative it will be beloved by the hipster community. Minus this, the song is pure repetition but not all bad. вЂњMouth of the RiverвЂќ is simply Christian Rock (think Imagine Dragons meets Jars of Clay), while вЂњThunderвЂќ presents some electronic samples worthy of the new Linkin Park album. Take, for example, the power-ballad вЂњWalk The WireвЂќ that simply reeks of radio, the equally forgettable Christian inspirational вЂњRise Up,вЂќ and the clichГ© dancer вЂњIвЂ™ll Make It Up To You.вЂќ They branch away from Top 40 radio anthems with the Folk вЂњYesterday,вЂќ a Conor Oberst-worthy romp that is made schizophrenic with the inclusion of electronic experimentations.

Unfortunately, what follows is often times a deterrent to the memory of the great possibilities inherent in this band. Somewhat reminiscent of the killer drum work present on past tracks like the phenomenal вЂњRadioactive,вЂќ this is a radio-friendly swagger that is fully infectious and proof positive that this is a band that should never be written off. First single вЂњBelieverвЂќ вЂ“ which initially debuted in the Nintendo Switch Super Bowl commercial back in winter вЂ“ is by all accounts the closest thing to a traditional Imagine Dragons track. Similarly, the Hip Hop verses on вЂњWhatever It TakesвЂќ are not awful, they are simply totally unexpected. It is not an altogether bad song вЂ“ somewhat catchy, decidedly radio-friendly вЂ“ it is just not what one would expect from Imagine Dragons. Think Top 40, not Indie/Alt Rock.Д®volve launches to atmospheric keyboards on вЂњI DonвЂ™t Know Why,вЂќ a track that sounds like it belongs on the latest Pop vixenвЂ™s album. This blend of producers creates a somewhat bipolar sound that ultimately leans more towards Katy Perry than anything more Rock-related.

If you can think big, you can Imagine Dragons! Returning with their third studio effort, Evolve, Imagine Dragons вЂ“ Vocalist Dan Reynolds, Guitarist Wayne Sermon, Bassist/Keyboardist Ben McKee, and Drummer Daniel Platzman вЂ“ present an eleven-song collection that was produced by the band along with Alex da Kid (X Ambassadors, Skylar Grey), Joel Little (Lorde, Ellie Goulding), and Mattman & Robin (Gwen Stefani, Taylor Swift).

Their sophomore effort, 2015вЂ™s Smoke + Mirrors, reached No. The album placed the band at the top of BillboardвЂ™s charts вЂ“ earning them the distinction of BillboardвЂ™s вЂњBreakthrough Band of 2013вЂќ вЂ“ along with fan-girling squeals from Rolling Stone and MTV.

The Rock bandвЂ™s 2012 debut, Night Visions, proved a somewhat slow burn but ultimately a massive commercial success. At this point in their career, Las Vegas, NevadaвЂ™s Imagine Dragons are somewhat of a household name.
