Dealing with mental health, death, and fractured relationships, Mercury pushes the listener to process pain and inner turmoil, embracing the darkness to find hope and acceptance. Unlike the bulk of the music for which the band is known, there aren't any arena-sized neo-Jock Jams or immediate radio hits present on the album (the tender, lovelorn ode "Follow You" and gleeful kiss-off anthem "No Time for Toxic People" are as close as it gets). The results come close enough to the mark, showcasing some of the most soul-baring and cathartic moments of their careers.

While containing just enough of their typical hallmarks - booming percussion, emotive delivery, and the ability to command full attention with their in-your-face approach - to make this an unmistakable Imagine Dragons record, the Dan Reynolds-led group takes a big risk on their grandest bid yet for maturity and authenticity.

Whenever the group tries a new sound - pumping up "Mouth of the River" with fuzz guitars or attempting a bit of rap-rock on "Start Over" - it feels not like experimentation but like a quick scan through a new music playlist. As throwback as that sensibility may be, the band strives to be thoroughly modern, emphasizing rhythms and gargantuan hooks to tightly constructed compositions. Mister - power rock ballads spiked with laser drums. When the tempo is slow, the results feel like a hybrid of Coldplay and Mr. When the tempo is quick, the results are festival-friendly electro-rockers. It's not that Imagine Dragons have abandoned the heavy-footed stomp they patented on "Radioactive," but they've threaded in busy, percolating electronic beats and give plenty of space to gilded keyboards. Opening with "I Don't Know Why," a glitzy dance-rock song that nods at a disco past but exists in an EDM present, the record often rides along to a neon pulse. Some of that darkness seeped into Smoke + Mirrors, but it's not heard here. Not content to stay in one emotional or musical spot, Imagine Dragons consciously move forward on Evolve, pushing themselves into a positive place, a transition that mirrors lead singer Dan Reynolds working through a heavy depression. Imagine Dragons give away the plot with the very title of Evolve, the 2017 sequel to 2015's sophomore set, Smoke + Mirrors.
