Listen, I was a HUGE Imagine Dragons fan as a kid. Never listened to a full album of theirs, but heard so many random songs of theirs and they were one of the first bands I've ever loved. There are still some songs they make like "Warriors" and "Whatever It Takes" that are super nostalgic to me, and I absolutely love still to this day even. So, keeping that in mind, this is the first full Imagine Dragons album I've heard.
All I can really say with this is wow, the fall off is CRAZY. This is making me question what I even liked about Imagine Dragons, as this is filled with the most painfully mediocre pop rock I've ever heard in my life, often times teetering on just terrible in so many spots. This is so rough around every corner, and the few highlights this album DOES have don't do near enough to bring this up for me. It *does* get better on the last 3 songs though, and those are the clear highlights of the album, even if they also are lackluster in their own right. Regardless, this is just not worth checking out, and I will definitely be bothering with any more Imagine Dragons in the future unless they make a complete turnaround in their sound lol
