Mercury Act-1 is a real work of art. It is powerful and poignant, explosive and intense and dramatic; a true and important story tied into a simple collection of music.

While the overall tone and narrative could use a little polishing, Mercury: Act 1 is a huge step forward in their maturation process.

Despite the ostensibly humanizing presence of Rick Rubin, rock’s patron saint of prestige, these quintessentially Vegas showmen still sound like they’re firing their emotions out of a T-shirt cannon.

There’ll be a few songs that you might like, and a few you’ll hate violently too.

By the end, you’re left wishing that Imagine Dragons had kept a closer focus on some of ‘Mercury – Act 1”s more powerful moments, and fully unpacked the feelings that songs like ‘Wrecked’ and ‘They Don’t Know You Like I Do’ dig into.
Genuinely the worst Imagine Dragons album. My ears have been assaulted by this thing. This album is so gutless and watered down, that I often forgot I was listening to Imagine Dragons. This album is beyond generic. Beyond boring, and the moments that aren't boring are absolutely horrific. The screaming had me cackling it was so awful. What a mess
Rick Rubin puts Imagine Dragons back on track.
After Evolve and Origins, expecting an Imagine Dragons album to be a bland watered down version of pop-rock/pop was a given for most. The band didn't do much to turn things around with their music for a long time.
And this album was their last chance to turn things around, to finally show that the potential of their first 2 records wasn't gone, did they do it?

Imagine Dragons album, and somehow surprised. It's a band that I've always hoped to see something decent, as they are good musicians and the vocalist is VERY GOOD.
Throughout their discography, the impression they leave me is that there is always someone from the record company putting the gun to their head saying what they have or not to do, then there are always TERRIBLE songs like everything they've released so far.
Few songs can be saved from this band, precisely because they NEVER did ... read more
Laughably awful but undeniably entertaining
Fun fact: Imagine Dragons were the first band I was really obsessed with. Not-so-fun fact: They were the first band totally disappointed me with the release of Origins. But I owe those Las Vegas boys one - because of them I really started to get into music. So I am kinda just looking at them fondly now, like that first-born child that is a disappointment compared to its siblings but still carves its own path.
Mercury - Act 1 is mostly one thing: ... read more
Walter, put your Imagine Dragons's Mercy Act 1 cd away, Walter.
I ain't listening to these 'music' that you listen to, Walter
If the whole mercury album was to be reduced to a 10 tracks long record, it wouldn't have been as terrible as it is. Too many filler tracks to enjoy it in its entirety.
