Why, then, if this dude is so miserable - “depressed as hell,” as he recently confessed to Billboard - does “Smoke + Mirrors” already feel like the most bombastic record we’ll hear this year? Full of fist-pumping choruses and foot-stomping grooves, it plays like one long pep rally hardly what you’d expect from a cursed man.

“First comes the blessing of all that you dreamed / But then comes the curses of diamonds and rings,” he moans in “Gold,” from the new Imagine Dragons album, “Smoke + Mirrors.” The title track elaborates on that bruising disappointment, invoking “a dream that comes crashing down on me.” Nearly a year after “Radioactive” finally dropped off the tally, though, Reynolds seems to think doomsday has only just begun. Success has been rough for Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons, the Las Vegas-based rock band that sold over 2 million copies of its 2012 debut, “Night Visions,” thanks to inescapable hits such as “It’s Time” and “Radioactive.” A dubstep-dipped welcome to a post-apocalyptic age, the latter spent 87 weeks on Billboard’s Hot 100, longer than any other song in the chart’s history.
