For once the pace continues from the previous track to the next. The 9th track вЂњDreamвЂќ is a dreamy song indeed. The album is really playing with our emotions.Д«uy вЂSmoke + MirrorsвЂ™ Standard Edition (13 Tracks) on iTunes / Amazon Buy вЂSmoke + MirrorsвЂ™ Deluxe Edition (18 Tracks) on AmazonВ / Target Electric guitars, light drums and the dreamy voice of Imagine DragonsвЂ™ lead vocalist Dan Reynolds. вЂњFrictionвЂќ is a brilliant piece of musical workвЂ“the instruments, creativity, vocals and everything else.ДЄfter the thunderstorm that is вЂњFrictionвЂќ, the album takes us to a dreamy world right away with the next song вЂњIt Comes Back To YouвЂќ. The oriental-like music runs throughout the track, only to amplify a thousand times when it comes to the chorus/hook? Love it. The chorus sounds like heavy metalвЂ“only itвЂ™s not and is aided heavily by drums. The beginning music piece sounds like something borrowed from India or Persia. I donвЂ™t really know what the band aimed to achieve with this track, but it looks as if they are trying to mix up everythingвЂ“it has influences from all over the music world. The vocals are highlighted and they are a killer!!! This track is chill, got good meaning packed behind the smooth lyrics and got just the right kind of drums to keep our hearts thumping. But they arenвЂ™t the first artists to define вЂњLife is a PolaroidвЂќ, вЂcuz we know Taylor Swift ran with it back when she released вЂ1989вЂ™. вЂњPolaroidвЂќ is the next track along our album review of вЂSmoke + MirrorsвЂ™ journey, and it gets even more difficult to define Imagine Dragons with this song. If the band aims to prove that they can conquer rock, alternative, folk and indie, this track is good proof of that. However the album jots back to the high octane start it had from the first two tracks, maybe even higher. вЂњLife isnвЂ™t always what youвЂ™d think itвЂ™d be, turn your head for one second and the tables turnedвЂ¦вЂќ, some good life advice in the song as well.

Heavy drums, high vocals and low vocals all blended in a sweet mix. вЂњIвЂ™m So SorryвЂќ is the fourth track of вЂSmoke + MirrorsвЂ™ and the Imagine Dragons we know is back. The song is great, but after вЂњShotsвЂќ and вЂњGoldвЂќ, the third track feels like a slow down of paceвЂ“which they might have expected to do.

I donвЂ™t believe this is the song you should listen to if you want to fall in love with Imagine Dragons and their music. Hence the album and the song own the same title вЂSmoke And MirrorsвЂ™. The third track of the album is the key song of the album. The song talks about a person whom turns everything to Gold upon touch (metaphorically, of course). We kind of wish the opening music sequence continued throughout the track, but it changes towards the chorusвЂ“guess thatвЂ™s what Imagine Dragons does best. Straight away the music changes from вЂњShotsвЂќ to вЂњGoldвЂќ to something more basic and catchier.

The second track of вЂSmoke + MirrorsвЂ™ is a beautiful piece of music titled вЂњGoldвЂќ. The song resonates an apology вЂfor everythingвЂ™ they have done in life. вЂњShotsвЂќ is a classic Imagine Dragons trackвЂ“unique, innovative and not afraid to experiment with drums and beats. Imagine Dragons are off to a flying start right away with the first track.
