"Over the course of two opulent albums, Las Vegas quartet Imagine Dragons have delivered spine-tingling, arena-rock catharsis. But for their third effort, Evolve, the band is scaling things back. Speaking to EW, frontman Dan Reynolds says, 'We wanted to be selective about each noise. In the past, all of our sonic textures have been almost a wall of noise and music. [But] we've found through this process that you can be just as emotional and just as grand using maybe four instruments as opposed to us using 50.' Guitarist Wayne Sermon adds that shift in approach made the group focus more intently on each layer. 'It puts a lot more pressure on that one sound,' he says. 'If you're going to have just one sound, then it damn well better be perfect.'" — Entertainment Weekly

Multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning band Imagine Dragons returns with their third album, Evolve, via KIDinaKORNER/Interscope Records. The Recording Industry Association of America certified it as a gold record for sales in excess of 500,000 units less than a month after its release.

"This record is very colorful," frontman Dan Reynolds tells PEOPLE Magazine. "Lyrically, I was in a really healthy headspace writing it, and then sonically we wrote from a more minimalistic approach."

Reynolds describes Evolve as "an evolution of sound" for he and his band mates, electric guitarist Daniel Wayne Sermon, drummer Daniel Platzman and bass guitarist Ben McKee.

"It's a step forward in that we peel back a lot of layers and are much more minimalistic," he says, comparing the lyrical content to their 2015 album, Smoke + Mirrors, which was "a very dark, introverted record."

"All of it was looking in and this record was looking out and seeing the color and the beauty of the world, and then encapsulating it," he continues. "It was an evolution for the band, so we knew Evolve was a good title."
