After hearing Kings And Queens, I bought 30STM's new album on it's release date. I can say, without a doubt, if you like 30STM's previous music and you liked Kings And Queens, you are sure to love this album. It's rare I find an album I don't want to skip a track on and I can't pick a favourite song on, either, but this is one of those CDs. The lyrics are fantastic, the gang vocals are powerful, Leto's voice is, as always, brilliant - I could go on forever. In short, the only word I can summarise this album with is 'outstanding'. If this doesn't win an award at some point, I'll be shocked.
Buy it - you won't regret doing so.
For anyone in the music wilderness ... just walk into your nearest stockist buy this album, and whilst you're at it, pick up "A Beautiful Lie". Both albums are by far the best they've done, but i'm struggling to put 1 above the other.
From track 1 (Escape) with the cry of "This is war !" you're hooked. The much played Kings and Queens is an anthem, which every album should have, but not the only one. Because you're then straight into the title track, and you will be reaching for the volume control and you will lose your voice by the end. Vox Populi will have you adding more speakers !!
My personal favourite ... Hurricane, mixed with the more chilled Alibi, and eerie guitars within L490, and i reckon this has got to be 1 of the best albums i've had the pleasure to own or listen to.
The only way these tracks are bettered ... watch and listen to them Live !! I have ... and am due to go again the 2nd time this year.
Pure quality.
Unreal.
5 stars is not enough.
I have to say, that this album is honestly amazing! I'm going to see 30STM in November 2010 and it is all because of this album :D
I've listened to Closer To The Edge 178 times and i still love it. The usage of 30STM's 'The Summit' (an event where they used their fans and members of the public in their thousands to record backing vocals in certain parts of their songs - this is the parts when it sounds like a choir's in the background) gives the songs a real dramatic edge and you can really imagine this music being played to the masses at concerts.
Really amazing stuff on here, BUY IT NOW :D
This Is War is very different to A Beautiful Lie, and to the very first album.
But is still absolutely excellent.
With songs like "This Is War, Night of The Hunter, Kings And Queens, Alibi, Hurricane" and so many more that speak brilliance in the lyrics, and come into great songs its its the album of the year, and definitely should be one you own if your as avid a 30 Seconds To Mars fan as I am :)
Based on this, I can't wait to see them in February :)
have heard half of this album and my opinion is buy it. its brilliant. the lyrics in the songs are angry. the music is brilliant. this is one album you do not under any circumstances want to miss.
