This album was tough for me to grade because I’m not really a die-hard fan for Imagine Dragons. I like their music and their performances, but they have always been on the back burner for me. Sorry…that’s my opinion.
When I listened to their new album Origins, I first gave each song a pretty harsh grade. But I always listen back to every song multiple times before I give a final grade. I’m glad I did cause they got a big ol “F” on the first listen. The second time, I tried to imagine being in the Y107 studio and playing them on air. Unfortunately, there were only a few songs I was able to see myself and others enjoy hearing on the radio.
Some of my favorites:
Natural – which scored a 8!
Machine – scored a 8!
Only – Holy cow I like this one!! 9!! (listen below)
Overall Final Grade: D
