Jun 30, 2017wow i don't know why all this bad reviews. For me this third album its a gem. Didn't like very much the second. But the third with song like : walking the wire, Idon't Know, i'll make up to you, Mouth of the river and on the deluxe edition Not today.. For me, all this song are fantastic . For me, this album will be the album for my 2017 summer and surely more ;) a 10/10 :)
-
Jul 15, 2017Love this album, thunder and walking the wire have to be my favourite songs of the album. The only songs that i feel that fall short are 'Start over' and 'Dancing in the dark'.

Jun 23, 2017I really think that Imagine Dragons been renewed our vision about rock indie alternative and this album show it. I LOVED ALL SONGS. A mix of rock alternative, indie, eletro and others that works!

Nov 8, 2017A good album in an un-peculiar way, with tones and beats that are not very used these days it disguises as a alternative rock album even if has some strange pop in it
-
Sep 19, 2018Un excelente álbum con buenas canciones, después de "Smoke + Miroos" no fuera lo que esperaba, este álbum ha llenado todas mis expectativas sin duda alguna uno de sus mejores trabajos discográficos (10/10).

Jun 23, 2017Um dos melhores albuns do ano sem duvidas alguma. Thunder e Belive como carro-chefe do disco foram as melhores escolhas, Dancing in the dark tambem e uma das melhores e espero eu que seja a ser single. Imagine Dragons vcs me surpreenderam.

Jul 17, 2017Imagine Dragons continue to go there downward, pop-rock trend with Evolve. There isn't much distinction between many of the songs, they incorporate electronic music into their music in the most uninteresting of ways and do as little as they can to set themselves apart from other popular contemporaries. I wasn't expecting much but was still disappointed.

Aug 14, 2017Me esperaba mucho más de este disco. Se han pasado al pop comercial, nada que ver con Smoke + Mirrors. Son canciones aburridas y parecidas entre sí. Aún así, hay algunas canciones que salvan un poco al disco.
-
Jun 23, 2017This album is such a masterpiece, they did a amazing work in this. Keep in this way guys, that's the point. The voice, the instruments, all the things are in constantly sincrohnia.
-
Jul 14, 2017Whatever It Takes and Believer shows potential of this album but it was buried by other dull, boring and dreadful tracks. It's far from an evolution and very near to a terrible album.
-
Jun 23, 2017This album is very well structured and has a lot of different sounds and vibes. Tracks like Rise up and I don't know why show the vocal qualities of Dan Reynolds. Yesterday is a song with a catchy vibe and musically interesting. The super singles Believer and Thunder are super catchy and thrilling. A great album, better than Night Visions.

Jun 23, 2017This is one of their best albums yet, probably second or third best actually. They have three very addictive songs in it. I really love whatever it takes and the bouncy tune that it has as well as a few chart toppers such as thunder and believer!!

Jun 23, 2017This is a album good, but not so much, it's different, and maybe that's why almost nobody liked it, just the fans, I hope and in their fourth album they do it better. Good Luck Imagine Dragons
-
Jun 23, 2017Evolve is the worst Album. Im totally disappointed. The only two good one are Believer and Thunder. I like the music from Imagine Dragons but with this is a total disaster. So 2 Points for Believer and Thunder.

Jun 28, 2017Bad album for top 40 listeners who want to feel alternative. It still baffles me how the grammys gave the rock album of the year to these dweebs over queens of the stone age.
-
Jun 24, 2017Your albums are always beautiful . You Gods . Send **** all publications , people like this is important . Love the fans more important . We love You . fans from Russia .
-
Oct 14, 2017Imagine Dragons was really great with the first two albums, but this... this is FANTASTIC. Evolve has a lot of good writing and deserves better. One of the best albums of 2017.
-
Jun 23, 2017I can't understand to the critic, this album is wonderful, magical. They just wanna listen trap and commercial pop and that's the reason why they don't accept this great Imagine Dragons' work.
-
Jun 23, 2017What happens to critics? why they despise art?, Sure if it were an album with repetitive lyrics, about sex and drugs would have better rating, this industry is bad
-
Jun 29, 2017Absolutely terrible album. Enjoyed their first album quite a bit, but sorry this is just **** You can no longer count me as a fan. None of the songs have a catchy melody and the song writing is lazy. Sounds like these guys are flash in the pans. I don't expect them to be around much longer nor anybody actually giving a **** about their music in a few years time.

Jun 24, 2017Very average, and on the lower side of average too. I'll admit there are a few good songs here, especially I'll Make It Up To You and I Don't Know Why, but so many of the other songs follow the same tired formula of generic stadium-pop crap, and it gets really wearisome over the course of an album. They need more variety, and they also need just better songs.

Jul 22, 2022Buenas letras, buen sonido, pésimas voces, no tienen nada de armonía ni encanto.

Aug 16, 2017Unambiguously it is the strongest release of Imagine Dragons after Night Visions. Long ago I waited from them for a new album. Excellent alternative music for summer of 2017. Believer and Thunder songs the best and very much mark out Imagine Dragons style in alternative music.
-
Dec 16, 2017For me, it was a very average and somewhat forgettable album. Sure it has Whatever it Takes, Believer, and Thunder, but not much else. It's still worth a listen, but don't be expecting much.
-
Jun 23, 2017Anotha one! Great album by Imagine Dragons, go get that #1 boys! I'm proud of them because they know how to make great music with quality! People, don't care or critics in geral, go see our reviews... It is so much more speciallized than the critics one! xoxo

Jun 24, 2017Far from one of their best albums. Songs like Believer and Thunder stand out but nothing else is memorable. It's decent compared to other albums in general, but not what I have come to expect from imagine dragons. It doesn't experiment with things and try anything new. It's a let down to me, and likely to fall through the cracks.
-
Jul 27, 2017A real lazy job, where it shows that making great songs is worse than making songs for the radios, this album being a boring, weak and bland stadium rock. Not a good companion to Smoke + Mirrors (2015), which did have some good times.

May 20, 2018A total disaster. It came out as such a big disappointment after two beautiful albums, especially the debut one. They really need to change the producer, because this album is the opposite to evolution.

Jun 24, 2017It's very interesting. But quite disappointing if i'm going to compare with Night Visions. Most songs sound really refreshing, but some songs are really tiring, like they didn't try hard enough. But i did enjoy the álbum, but after listening to night visions, this album slumps pretty bad

Aug 8, 2017Reeeealllyy? 47/100 ??? This must be a joke. Top 5 album of 2017. for me. Maybe it's not epic as "Night Vision", but it's a highlight of rock/alternative music in 2017 and music in 2017 overall. Thunder & Whatever It Takes are my favorites.
-
Aug 10, 2017In my opinion, first 5 tracks are good, the rest are bad. It seems like they made pop album for radio. But I like lyrics in every song besides "Thunder" which annoying me.

Jan 22, 2018This is the definition of a 'meh album'. Believer gave us a promising hope that it would be a good album, but the rest of the album was just... meh...
-
Jul 22, 2018A jewel of the current pop rock and perhaps too advanced for its time because it did not receive the recognition of part of the professional criticism it deserves. A unanimous concept that will not bore you and that you will surely enjoy.

Dec 21, 2018The album is very well structured, and has a difference in other albums on issues of sounds and vibrations. Dan's vocal quality is to be shaken. Super singles, a great album.
-
Jun 24, 2018This is a very good record, quite different to their previous efforts but it's still good.
I love the singles and the whole production is of high quality. Somehow i miss their rock sound though. -
Jul 4, 2018One of the best albums of the year.Great Production and mesmerizing vocals.Lyrically it got some issue.But overall its their best to the date.

Oct 23, 2018I don't know why everybody said the Suicide Squad soundtrack sucked, it was great. Twenty One Pilots made it album of the year and Jared Leto was bettter then Heath LEdger.
Give it a listen, guys, Suicicde Squad is better than MarDULL and their **** Infinite War that never ends and Black Panther was garbage.
9/10 -
Nov 6, 2018Don't really know why this band's albums have such mediocre scores. I think Evolve is excellent with a stunningly driven score. You could take 4-5 of these songs and put them straight onto a sound system for an intermission sporting event. Maybe people think that is bad - but I don't.
-
Aug 24, 2022Don't believe the album title because nothing shows evolution here. Not only do they sound like a horrific U2 coverband but they still haven't managed a single satisfactory release. an example of band that tries to take every single trend in music, throw it together on a canvas, and see what happens. I hated thunder and beliver the most.
-
Jul 28, 2019Really good pop record. A wonderful evolution of the band while maintaining the Imagine Dragons flavour.
-
Dec 9, 2019Album muito interessante, as músicas são em sua maioria muito boas mas não se relacionam bem em conjunto.
Resumindo:músicas boas que não funcionam em forma de album. -
Aug 7, 2021It's **** awful. Two good songs and others are average or below. Dancing in the Dark is one of the worst songs I've ever heard.
Best songs: Whatever It Takes, Believer

This album is such a great POP album, with no meanings and topics. But this album attracted many people. -
Aug 6, 2020(I’d give this album a 9,8/10, but I can’t add that exact rating so I’ve rounded it up to 10/10).
I really like this album, there isn’t a song that I dislike. I like the combination of pop and rock, but some songs (Dancing In The Dark or Thunder) are not that catchy, so it doesn’t reach Smoke + Mirrors. Anyways, this album is a genius move. -
Sep 1, 2020Evolve is a great album, but something feels off. Maybe it's because it's very repetitive, or the lack of instruments. Night Visions and Origins are much better albums, but at least this one had some good songs.
-
Oct 5, 2021Generally poppy, but it has some really deep songs like Believer, Rise Up or Mouth Of The River. It's my least favorite ID album, but it's only because I like the others even more. My favorite from this album has to be Walking The Wire
-
Feb 13, 2021a rock band that makes edm. this is a **** joke. i always hated them and this album was the last straw
-
Mar 20, 2021Best band of the world i love imagine dragons they are so perfect all members i love u
-
Apr 25, 2021Somehow not overrated. These songs are amazing and you can't tell me otherwise. Believer is still one of the best songs ever.
-
Apr 9, 2022I am being as unbiased as possible, it is great. They got a few not the best songs (thunder, believer) But even them they are not TERRIBLE. I love rise up and mouth of the river, and even next to me,
-
Mar 2, 2023This album feels very unique to me. It's fun when you appreciate it for what it is.
Awards & Rankings
-
Jun 26, 2017There’s not enough quality across the whole of Evolve to convincingly make the case that Imagine Dragons actually have, or to attract an audience of new listeners. Evolve is a good idea, but in practise it turns out that it doesn’t really work.
-
Jun 23, 2017Their [producers Mattman & Robin's] spacious productions are an odd fit for Dan Reynolds' tortured dude-isms.
-
Jun 22, 2017Evolve sounds, almost impressively so, as though it’s been created with telly music coordinators in mind--and few others besides.
