The combination of the strings and piano is very powerful and the song has a terrific build. This piece certainly encompasses the authentic Imagine Dragons sound-equally dynamic and sentimental. The one exception is “My Life,” which is worthy of being put on the list of the band’s best tracks of all time. While it is an improvement in terms of melody, the theme of the song is “I’m my own number one.” The message of self-confidence might have been the original goal, but the only thing it really illuminated was that this album certainly was not their “number one,” or anything close to it. The songs that have a better musical composition lack any thoughtful lyrics, like “#1”.
“Easy Come Easy Go” falls back on repetitive lyrics as it nears the end of the song, repeating loose variations of the same line over and over again: “Guess that’s just the way it goes (Guess that’s just the way it goes) / Easy come, easy go.” His powerful falsetto and raw vocals are apparent on the album, but at times they come off as more unpolished than one would hope for. Lead singer Dan Reynolds undoubtedly has one of the more unique voices in contemporary music. 3, does not have the cohesiveness that one would hope for from an album that has been in the works for a few years now, especially from a band with as much artful skill as Imagine Dragons. Unfortunately, these expectations were not matched this time around. The band set very high standards for itself after releasing Evolve. Soon after, the band released its 2017 album Evolve which was nominated for two Grammys and contained masterful songs like “Believer,” “Thunder,” and “Whatever It Takes,” which showcased the band’s vulnerability by recognizing both the joys that life brings as well as the hardships that often occur along the way. The album’s hit single “Radioactive” reached number one on Billboard charts. Imagine Dragons was certainly on an upward trajectory for a while after releasing their breakthrough album Night Visions in 2012, which sold more than five million copies worldwide.
