Listening to the entire album comprising of 15 songs, I can say with great confidence that this is an album for everyone who likes indie or pop. Though, as Imagine Dragons has not released any official statements regarding their choice in naming this album, I can only speculate. The first song in the album, “Natural,” released as a single back in July, additionally hints to the album-wide theme of less whimsical metaphors and more direct impacts. somebody that impacts their lives, whether it be in a positive or negative manner. Unlike their past songs, they make far more direct statements in both act and volume, all of them encompassing an attempt to define the difference between “me and you,” or rather, a singular person vs. This can be seen throughout the new album. “I really focused on searching deeper for lyrical value.” This leads me to believe that this new album furthers the band’s trend of undoing their majestic metaphors, and making more direct statements about the world around us. “Instead of hiding behind metaphors, I was able to be more direct in my lyrics,” said Reynolds, lead vocalist of the group.
According to Spotify, the greatest achievement of “Evolve” according to Imagine Dragons is absolute honesty. I’m not going to pretend that I know of exactly what kind of origin they’re referring to.
The name “Origins” alludes to returning back to their roots, to returning home, to returning back to their tradition, as opposed to “Evolve,” the name of their previous album.
