Imagine Dragons have been a hot one on our 35 Live for the past four months with their hit ‘Believer’. I absolutely love believer like most of their other singles that have been released since 2012 when they introduced ‘It’s Time’ to the world. They have an interesting take on their music. It has that edgy alternative feeling but also has a fun, pop vibe—without going overboard with the pop. I feel like the only newer song of theirs is ‘Believer’ because it has been doing very well on the charts, so I decided to take a look at the full album titled “Evolve”. The first song is called ‘I Don’t Know Why’ and I have to say I am hooked already. It starts off slow but becomes more of a pop feel while still having that edge to it. One of the songs ‘Whatever It Takes’ is interesting, but the beginning doesn’t seem to fit Imagine Dragons. It just didn’t seem their style, but the rest of it started to fit more. I absolutely fell in love with ‘Walking the Wire’. It is much slower than their other songs, but in a good way. It has an acoustic feel to it, and is a great motivation anthem. After listening to a few other songs on the album, I definitely feel like this group has some of the most motivating tunes out there. I honestly love the song ‘Thunder’ as well. At first it seemed intimidating of a song and startling, but so is thunder it was done so well. I am slightly surprised that I haven’t heard many of these yet before listening, but I feel a few will probably become larger once ‘Believer’ falls off the charts. If you haven’t checked out the newest Imagine Dragons album, I highly suggest it.
