No matter if you are looking for a trip down nostalgia lane or introducing a younger generation to the world of Spyro, 'Reignited Trilogy' is a solid remaster of the classics. Even though lackluster gameplay and rushed design choices plague the experience from the start, it still comes off as enjoyable for both veterans and novices. Hopefully this eternal flame can find space to roar once again.

‘Elastic Days’ is a moody, soft, and introspective album. The instrumentation helps put the listener into the world that the lyrics paint. The guitar solos are crisp and effective in bringing out the emotion of the lyrics. The contributors to the record add enough extra layers to certain songs to help expand the album’s sound.

'Origins' sounds like a car crash involving quite a lot of albums. Unfortunately, none of those albums happen to be good ones. Whether it is the flaccid, lifeless electro-pop and EDM, the overblown radio rock destined to plague arenas across the world, or the departures from those two sounds that should’ve been left on the cutting room floor, all the directions that Imagine Dragons attempt to go in lead to dead ends. Based on the consistently decreasing quality of their records, seeing how it could possibly get worse is the one thing worth anticipating for their future material.
