Imagine Dragons "Evolve"

Did this band title the album to make a declaration permanently and perfectly sequenced out of hubris or was the intent less egotistical? Will that even be determined here? Will we ever know?
While this generation of artists may not be as iconic or timeless as artists from generations and decades past, there are some good bands. Unfortunately, a good amount utilize smoke and mirrors to enhance their staying power in the consciousness, and enhance their value in the eyes of those critical and/or those on the fence.
I don't know why this opener appeals to me, but I have yet to determine. I wanted to use the title in the sentence? That would be a step back in style to say the least, but the next song resonates because of the beat and the bridge with its all encompassing message.
First things First, I might not write what you wanna hear
to be more critical, to write what you wanna read
No fake love, ooooooh
I'd rather be constructive and tell the truth
Hey! This is one of my favorite pop songs,
with an aggressive tone, that I have heard in a while
I don't expect reading this to produce a smile
Still debating if I'm a believer
Second things second, i'll return to the trad review
Haters may listen and state that there's nothing new
This next two songs are cases where I cannot explain why I like them, but I'll make it up to you with some odd reference or overcompensate, which may infuriate; the latter's aural atmosphere was of the eighties with a Young Modern edge, how about those sweet lines?
They are not the only band that Queen has influenced, even if I had researched bands that were inspired by them, I wouldn't catch the bands of the future, if that "matriarch" of rock set their soul ablaze yesterday. "To the mouth of the river!!!"
While I can say that I enjoyed a lot more of the songs on this record, I cannot determine whether it was because they evolved or they focused more on quality than quantity. The last four have their own personal charms that incite enjoyment, all four have enough to say that it's a good song, not always to say "it's my favorite!"
The pacing and higher octave of what sounds like an out of breath robot, a conundrum, is a quirk that makes dancing in the dark more alluring, as long as there is no asthma attack involved; A.I.'s ever evolving state is already a little alarming.
I appreciate the thunder found in the lyrics, but I cannot say I am persuaded to believe that is the truth, but things aren't always as they appear so we'll let it roar; it's not up to me to determine its truth, just declare what my interpretation is which cannot change what it truly is.
The adoration I feel as I gaze into the "Mouth of the River" is due to that recurrent percussion wave and the instrumental elements the coexist peacefully along the shore.
At the end, I am already aware that you cannot create an everything to everyone album where no song is unloved or unappreciated, where each track resonates with everyone for different reasons, and acclaim is universal, and for it to be a genuine declaration of the band and each of its members. So did they? To each interpretation their own.
