Nov 11, 2018This album is really great. Despite what some critics say, all tracks from the album are different and likeable in their own way.
-
Nov 9, 2018Very good album, taking even "inspirations" in several bands, very beautiful in both lyrics and rhythm, without any doubt the best album of Imagine Dragons
-
Nov 10, 2018This album so so good, each song is too super producer, "origins" became one of the best album of the year!
-
Nov 9, 2018Excellent album! This is a completely new sound, I really like it, the songs are permeated with deep lyrics. Dan's voice, as always, fits perfectly into every song! Favorite song- "Bullet in a Gun"
-
Nov 10, 2018This album is really good. It has some characteristics that you don't see in the earlier albums, but still sounds totally imagine dragons-esque
-
Nov 10, 2018What's great about this album is that it has music for everyone. It has a couple pop songs, a folk song, a dubstep song, a couple alternative/rock songs, and even an EDM song. Also, the lyrics have a lot more meaning in this album than Evolve had. In summary this album is absolutely amazing, and definitely groundbreaking for Imagine Dragons.
-
Nov 10, 2018Here you can see how the Imagine Dragons guys change. Great songs! great work! Pround of them.

Jun 1, 2019this album is great. i disagree with critics opinions. Imagine Dragons keep giving the public music and I like that
-
Jul 28, 2019Another solid record from Imagine Dragons. Birds is my favourite from this album.
-
Jul 14, 2019Álbum com alguns defeitos mas eu amo assim msm. Eles conseguiram novamente soar com uma banda que sempre evolui
-
Sep 5, 2019This is one of their best albums. It's so sonically diverse, full of songs for any mood. It delivers loud rock anthems like Natural or Bad Liar, beautiful songs lyrically and sonically such Birds or Bullet In A Gun.
All in all it's an amazing album that deserves a 10/10. -
Dec 31, 2019The concept of this album is incredible and ispiring, and the songs fit together.
-
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).
Again, a great album. No “meh” songs here. Only things is that it’s too poppy and too overproduced, but it’s so uplifting, happy and fun that it bumps up to 9,8/10. -
Oct 5, 2021The fact that it's their poppiest album doesn't mean it's bad. I enjoy it a lot and I dare saying I like this one a bit more than Evolve (which is great too). My favorite from this album is Machine, it sounds like something taken from Night Visions or Smoke + Mirrors
-
Mar 20, 2021Best band of the world is Imagine Dragons, i love this band soooooo much, perfect.
-
May 13, 2022this album is too confident in itself while the styles its aiming towards are failed in execution
-
Nov 10, 2018Well put together album, strong lyrics, good instrumentals and Dan Reynolds' vocals in the album are excellent, and what a song 'Birds' is.
-
Nov 14, 2018Great album, my favorite from the band alongside S+M. It sounds fresh and looks like it will be step in a new, hopefully right direction for Imagine Dragons.

Sep 7, 2019"Origins" com certeza trás o velho e bom som dos garotos de volta mas sem deixar de inovar. sou fã desde 2012 e posso dizer que os vocais do Dan melhoraram a cada ano!
as faixas são bem construídas e "Bad Liar" é a minha favorita! só não posso dar 10 porque acho que faltou algum destaque da bateria, no mais, álbum maravilhoso! -
Sep 25, 2020This album is filled with emotion and powerful songs that are quite poignant for me. I'm aware that this isn't everyone's favorite Imagine Dragons album, but I absolutely love this album and it helped through some hard times.
-
Apr 1, 2022While not the best of the bunch, Origins is great enough to listen to and possibly enjoy.
-
Nov 16, 2018Not bad. I liked the album, but the night visions will remain the best for me.

Nov 9, 2018Their best album for sure, still generic, some songs seems soda's commercials songs, but is very listenable and not boring.
-
Nov 10, 2018It is not the best album if we thing in music hits and hype, but in this one its musics sound deeper and with great lyrics. And yes, they're out of their confort zone.
-
Sep 5, 2021A rhythmic album, from the strong transport of the events that have marked the life of the front-man. Although the tracks do not appear linked to each other, they can be listened to one after the other as in a playlist. Top track: "Bad Liar".

Nov 9, 2018An introspective album that focus principally on the pure meaning of the songs.

-
May 29, 2020"Cool Out" and "Natural" don't belong on an album as rushed as Origins. Imagine Dragons should have repackaged this project as a Bsides collection for Evolve.

Sep 1, 2019O album é apresenta uma confusão sonora onde apresenta altos e baixos gigantes por conta de uma tracklist bagunçada e ressalto as músicas "Birds", "West Coast", "Boomerang" e "Bullet in a gun" como músicas importantes dentro dele.
-
Dec 22, 2018The album is by no means perfect but when an album like Night Visions exists it's hard to catch lightning in a bottle twice. Most of the singles are great, especially Zero, Machine as well as other songs like Digital which was insane but good. Unfortunately it's let down by cuts such as Stuck, Only and Bad Liar. Regardless, not as bad as everyone thinks

Feb 4, 2023Oooof, one thought that Evolve was disappointing, but man, then they released Origins - a pinnacle of soulless music. Fun to vibe to when not focusing on lyrics, acceptable as a shopping mall music, but hard to relate to.
-
Nov 9, 2018Welcome to the Dan Reynolds school of writing choruses where all 12 on the album sound interchangeable with the one before, or after, it.
A monotonous blob of "yawn." -
Nov 30, 2018Wow. This is just as bland, predictable and forgettable as their other records
-

Aug 7, 2021It's so horrible. Disgusting production, repetitive songs. Not a single good track on this pile of **** It's the worst album I've listened to. I hate it.
Best songs: -
Worst songs: Stuck -
Nov 16, 2018Imagine Dragons SUCK, terrible and extremely overrated band considering their popularity
-
Nov 16, 2018Que puedo decir, si ya de plano no me gusto EVOLVE menos este. Parecen descartes de EVOLVE.
-
Aug 24, 2022The knly ruvals to this abysmal band is Nickleback or Creed as they take up the same deplorable space in rock music. Unfortunately Imagine Dragons’ actual vision is one that is milquetoast, formulaic, nearly anonymous, free of any real lyrical insight.

Feb 9, 2020"Not real music" boomerisms aside, the music Dan Reynolds and the fellas have created here is uninteresting, flat and completely devoid of personality
-
Jan 21, 2022Este album es buenisimo no solo por las canciones las cuales resaltan por lo diferentes que son algunas desde un principio, sinceramente este album es uno de los primeros que escuche de imagine dragons y fue el cual me atrajo de la banda ya que antes habia escuchado Evolve y Nigth vision pero este es el que mas canciones me han gustado

Q MagazineNov 20, 2018It follows the million-dollar formula laid down on 2017's Evolve a little too closely. ... But as emotional Trojan Horses go, few do it better. [Jan 2019, p.110]
-
Nov 15, 2018Imagine Dragons are confident in their capability and knowledge of pop music, but Origins tries too hard to demonstrate their varied interests with the results generic and indistinct.
-
Nov 15, 2018More often than not Origins falls flat, with insipid choruses and melodramatic refrains. Big, bold and a little bit naff, this is another bread and butter album from a mindbogglingly huge group.
