They decided to form a band and, after many lineup changes, the band included Wayne Sermon as the lead guitarist and Ben McKee as bassist. Dan Reynolds, the singer, and Andrew Tolman, the drummer, met whilst attending University. Reviewer Glenn Gamboa concluded by stating, "It’s no wonder that 'Origins' sounds like the start of something even bigger for Imagine Dragons.Imagine Dragons is a band from Las Vegas (Nevada) that formed in 2008. Newsday’s review says "Origins" shows that the band is maturing, specifically citing the lyrics in the single "Bad Liar" about a parent trying to comfort their children. Most of his lyrics feel deeply personal, perhaps because they’re based on his own experiences or tackle issues he feels passionately about,” O'Connor writes. “Frontman Dan Reynolds has clearly been working out those pop writing muscles - he deals in songs that don’t try to trick the band’s young fanbase with pretentious metaphors.Independent’s review writes that the album is an example of Reynolds flexing “his songwriting muscles” since the album is a mix of songs about issues close to Reynolds and the band, but, according to reviewer Roisin O'Connor, stays true to the band's pop beginnings. “The rock ballad carries a lyrical heaviness similar to the band’s 2012 hit ‘Demons’ from their debut release, with frontman Dan Reynolds simmering on the struggles that accompany hiding pain from a lover,” according to the review.
