The Las Vegas band had made an impressive entrance with a subtle blend of rock and pop, adorned with almost dance tones. With Natural, Dan Reynolds sings at the top of his voice over a catchy chorus, a technique used throughout the rest of the album. Energetic and rhythmic choirs (Machine), eighties-style electro bass and romantic vocals (Cool Out), and even folk melodies on the acoustic guitar (West Coast) − Imagine Dragons have gone for eclecticism and it works! Even though they are carrying on the tradition of XXL hit songs and relying on harmonic powers, it’s their punchy songwriting that shines through. Their latest album, Evolve, explored relatively dark territories, whereas with Origins the scope significantly expands: identity problems, messages of hope, realisation of various anxieties… Imagine Dragons express many different emotions. It’s an album that will once again ensure exponential success to these kings of the charts.
