Who is ready for it? http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1683739/30-seconds-to-mars-new-album.jhtml New logo (2012) http://bit.ly/LgGFFJ
Leto says 30STM's next album will be "dramatic departure from the past" but, then, he says that it will be "very orchestral, narrative, interactive and even more electronic" and that doesn't really sound like a dramatic departure to me. :" Also, that logo's not entirely new ;P
Despite the fact that it'll likely be super overproduced like their last record, I'm still cautiously excited for this record.
If you check on their FB page, and look back a little bit, it showed that logo and said MARS IS COMING
You might think it was awesome, but honestly, I didn't really like it all that much. The huge amount of group vocals in the album on almost every song really killed it for me.
Can't WAIT! This is War is awesome, it holds my favourite song of all time! Leto can't disappoint me!
It was a nice gesture ... but, straight up, from what I heard of the album, there's too much crowd vocal. Eventually, it just sounds really forced when you hear it in basically every song. :"
In case you haven't heard said album, he's not kidding. They're in every fucking song. It makes me want to collectively punch the Echelon in the face. Either that or get them addicted to heroine, thus causing a downward spiral wherein their arm gets amputated, their best friends get sent to prison, and their girlfriends (if applicable) are coerced into performing sex shows for drug money. IT'S A JARED LETO JOKE PEOPLE, GET OVER IT.
I hope this album is as good as A Beautiful Lie. and sounds somewhat likes it. This is War was good (at least the first 8 songs) but average compared to A Beautiful Lie
The last album was borderline pretentious and definitely overproduced. Really felt like they were trying too hard to be epic. Really hoping they dial things back and get back to their self-titled/ABL days. ABL is one of my all-time favourite rock records.
