 Evolve is an album without soul, just little songs made to stick in your head and be hummed every 2 minutes.

 This album should be called 'Regress,' like the journey of Imagine Dragons so far.

The review criticizes Imagine Dragons' album Evolve for moving away from the promising indie rock roots shown in their debut. Instead, it embraces a mainstream pop sound that lacks soul and depth. Only Dan Reynolds' vocals are noted as a bright spot. The reviewer sees the band as opting for commerciality over artistic authenticity and considers Evolve a step backward. Discover why Imagine Dragons' Evolve sparked such divided opinions—listen and judge the pop-turned-indie evolution yourself!

 A lot of heaviness from the front and powerful guitars and percussion, all seasoned by Valentine’s bass, whose sound vaguely recalls his mentor, Fieldy.

 "Stone Sour are NOT the dull and uninspired copy of Slipknot; in fact, they sometimes present sound nuances that are even more interesting than the 'cousin' band."
