30 Seconds to Mars-This is War

[justinmfi]

Has anyone got to listen to it yet? Saw it leaked sometime late last night...and just seen a 320 kbs floating around...just wanted to know if it was worth listening to ?

[The Summer Ends]

if it's 30 seconds to mars, it's not worth listening to

[SomedayTheFire]

It's worth it to hear that Kanye West song haha

[TheFractlEffect]

it's decent.

[zubinmoosa]

It's actually pretty good. Jared Leto can really belt, and it's epic to the max

[SomedayTheFire]

It's actually pretty good. Jared Leto can really belt, and it's epic to the max
Cool, really looking forward to hearing it, how's Hurricane?

[anamericangod]

Not gonna lie, I love the title track. The trailer for Dragon Age Origins was epic as fuck.

[spansen]

this cd was a huuuuuge overwhelming success for me.

[wendjiqn]

30 Seconds To Mars - This Is Search Function

[andresr200]

I like it! It's pretty good

[wendjiqn]

someone wanna pm me a dl link?
are you serious?

[richie]

Epic, but way too epic. I save just a couple of tracks after 5 or 6 listens.

[Smeee]

It's a surprising album, that's for sure.

Hurricane is a brilliant track. Kanye fits so well haha.

[Aphasia17]

Not gonna lie, I love the title track. The trailer for Dragon Age Origins was epic as fuck.

I love that song and Kings and Queens as well. Love him or hate him, Leto can sing his face off. I can't wait to hear the whole album.

[spansen]

It's a surprising album, that's for sure.

Hurricane is a brilliant track. Kanye fits so well haha.

yeah, i was surprised with that. that was a good blend of rock and hip-hop. weezer with lil' wayne? that was a terrible mix.

[Shakriel]

From what I've listened to so far, I really like it.

[Five-Star]

Pretty damn good so far.

[threepunchjim]

Not gonna lie, I love the title track. The trailer for Dragon Age Origins was epic as fuck.

no doubt. i really, really need to pick that game up. tide me over until Final Fantasy drops next year.

[npmshah]

DL'ed it yesterday.
listening to it now.
Loving the opening track.

[coreysetfail]

i was never a fan of this band at all. but this album is pretty impressive. such an epic sound.

[GaryClear]

This Is War (the album) is a fucking masterpiece.

Hurricane was good although I didn't like Kanye West's part.

It's still one of my favorite tracks on the album along with Search and Destroy and This Is War.

This Is War is my favorite.

[SincerelyMe]

I like this a lot more than I thought I would. Leto can really sing.

[Five-Star]

This is War is incredible.

[zubinmoosa]

Wow. This actually might sneak into my Top 30 of the year list

[gr33ndayfr3ak]

It all blended together a bit for me on the first listen, but it's still undeniably impressive. Might end up screwing up my list.

[thesollopsist]

Weird to see so many positive responses in a 30STM thread. This is awesome so far anyways.

[anamericangod]

no doubt. i really, really need to pick that game up. tide me over until Final Fantasy drops next year.

Man, the game is incredible. Takes over 75 hours to finish if you do all the side quests. It is absolutely massive, and the graphics and story are both very impressive.

[Sventhegreat]

Will download.

[ghsNICK!]

Has 5-6 good tracks.
Hurricane is so addicting!

[andthetruthwill]

Currently downloading this and will listen to it tomorrow. I am quite excited. I'm expecting it to expound on A Beautiful Lie so much.

[The Raine]

Good album. Tracks 2 and 4 especially.

[superBMRuth]

i never got on the hate train for this band. i like Leto's voice. what can i say. :shrug:

[timb89]

if it's 30 seconds to mars, it's not worth listening to

new song is brilliant.

[captjacksparr0w]

Its funny how the haters dismiss the album right away, before listening to it (look at the first few posts, and everything after that is positive because the people listened to the album). But aside from kanye west nearly fucking up a song, still an amazing track though, best album of the year. One of the most epic/biggest sounding albums I've ever heard. I really hope they keep this type of sound for a while, imagine them playing these HUGE songs to arenas full of people chanting and singing along. Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. But yeah, probably the best album this year, and that's saying something.

Edit: and I forgot to mention how incredible Jared's voice is. He really cements his status as one of the premier rock vocalists around.

[pth231]

I was going to wait till I bought the album to listen to it but I decided to dl it anyway and I loved every second of it. I was kind of scared about the track with Kanye but surprisingly it was really well done. It's a great album imo.

[ZeoVGM]

And this is how you bounce back after a disappointing second album.

"Hurricane" is fantastic.

[BozzBlonde]

So far, I really like what I hear. Can't wait for the release.
I didn't know that Kanye was going to be on it.
That ought to be interesting..

[Kobrakai09]

I really like it so far.

[And Hours Pass]

I like it! It's pretty good
I've never really given them a chance past a couple of tracks on their first album. Speaking to someone who isn't a fan, but also doesn't have this predisposed hate towards them, how would you describe this album? What other bands/albums does it sound like?

After reading through the thread it seems like the album's worth checking out, but I just wanted to get a better idea of it before I go out and pick it up.

[chassmariee]

Downloading as soon as I go home. I have a soft spot for Jared Leto.

[drudo182]

I'm going to have to check it out after all the love for it in here. Really surprised.

I have both albums before and they're not bad, but nothing amazing as a whole.

[SomedayTheFire]

Woah. I am totally shocked at this, I knew it would be good, I enjoyed the other two but my god, this is very very good.

[Matt Chylak]

whole album's up on youtube for those of you who think it's wrong to download leaks

[justinmfi]

Ok, so i have downloaded it, gave it a listen, and i am very amazed at the product they have produced...Leto has some pipes...this is def. gonna bump something off my list for this year!!!

And the feedback in here is great!!!

[JawsTheme182]

Closer to the Edge and 100 Suns are my favorite tracks so far. 100 Suns is so simple, but something about it just hits me the right way. I was also SUPER impressed with Kanye's placement in Hurricane. I think his part in that song tops everything on 808's. Loving this album so far. Definitely a surprise.

[aradiantsunrise]

I think the album is great. Definitely epic sounding like a few have said already. This is random but what Ben Gibbard and Nick Harmer said about Jared Leto was a load of bullshit. Leto definitely has passion in his music.

[anthonydarko]

I have this on the hard drive, I'll give a listen tomorrow.

[EchoPark]

if it's 30 seconds to mars, it's not worth listening to

hey that's a real humdinger of a zinger there guy.

Have you thought about becoming a staff writer for Jon Stewart?

[the1]

And this is how you bounce back after a disappointing second album.

"Hurricane" is fantastic.

I thought ABL was fantastic...

Anyway, I'm just gonna go buy this- I want high quality and I think it'll be worth it.

[SpyKi]

I thought ABL was fantastic...

Anyway, I'm just gonna go buy this- I want high quality and I think it'll be worth it.
I thought it was way better than the first album. I haven't given this one much time yet so I don't know whether I'll prefer it to ABL or not.

[Smeee]

I adore Closer To The Edge right now.

[tyramail]

definitely one of my biggest surprises this year. it's really quite good.

[TheFaceOfZach]

Night of the Hunter for me is honestly one of my favorite songs of the whole year now :O

[mulcahy67]

spinning this for the first time right now. already surprised just after the first couple songs. it seems like theyve actually found their niche, and have been able to obtain the perfect style for their continuously epic musical attempts.

[Nettn07]

I'm in love with this album. The only song I don't really like is Hurricane, I don't know why, I just don't like it. My favorites so far is Vox Populi, Kings And Queens, 100 Suns, This Is War, and Night Of The Hunter.

[yoyostring]

gonna have to give this a shot after all these positive remarks.

[mulcahy67]

after finishing the album , i still think sometimes it goes a little overboard and just becomes a little too much, but for the most part its a lot tighter, and a lot more consistent than ABL. but i definitely think its pretty much their best work yet.

Leto does have an outstanding voice, geez.

[captjacksparr0w]

I'm glad they cut kanye out of hurricane for the final version of the album. even though i hate him, i kind of got used to him in that song he kind of fit it. but its SO much better without him.

[bradsonemanband]

i am in love with "King and Queens".... the chorus is epic as shit!

[chcougar1]

I adore Closer To The Edge right now.

This song gives me the chills BIG TIME. The part from 2:39 on is amazing IMO

[SophGod]

album seems a bit over produced. also it sounds like it would be most enjoyable if you listened to it on top of a giant mountain or something.

i do like it, though.

[spunkmastaflex]

about a year ago, jared leto was talking about this album being for free, is that the case or no?

[zubinmoosa]

about a year ago, jared leto was talking about this album being for free, is that the case or no?
definitely not

[ghsNICK!]

definitely not
at a show they played last night they sold over 1000 copies (at just the show alone) and in an interview stated "their label leaked the record...and they"ll basically do anything to benefit themselves." so basically they said fuck it and started selling albums last night.
it was pretty cool because after they played they signed every copy if you waited in line...and man that dude can sing.

[theguy77]

if there was even any chance of me caring about this album, the fact that their advertisement on this site keeps popping out in my face and playing their shitty video completely eradicates it.

[Circa1628]

Wow, I was debating on buying this album tomorrow but this thread has definitely sold me, I can't wait to hear it!

[SKM]

30 Seconds to Mars - This is War is being sold on Amazon.com for $3.99 today (one day only sale).

Who still sees ads and popups on the internet?

Dumbass scene hipster.

[skyphoenix]

I guess someone hasn't heard of using a pop-up blocker or Firefox.

This CD is amazing. Definitely my favorite album of the year and by far their best album.

[Carpathia]

Wow. Definitely one of the best albums of the year indeed. I'm really impressed with it.

[SomedayTheFire]

All the covers I've seen are awful hahaha

[incorrigiblean]

The CD is amazing :) I love it to bits- especially the title track

[:-)]

This band gets so much unfair hate.

[:-)]

Hello? Ever heard of a pop-up window blocker?

Also, why do you have a blue name? The FAQ states that in order to get one your band has to have "some significance"

[pete70x7]

definitely one of my biggest surprises this year. it's really quite good.

its no Brand New or Say Anything but I agree with you on the surprise part. Night of the Hunter is good I think

[nlcentralchamps]

This ad is annoying me. Makes me wish I never switched from Firefox to Safari.

[wendjiqn]

Do you honestly think that anybody gives a shit?

[ChelseaRiane]

I surprised myself when I realized that I enjoy this CD a lot.

[NateFoundGlory]

I asked for this for christmas, and all this love I'm seeing makes me want it now...

[wendjiqn]

lol, what the fuck did the world ever do to you?

[theguy77]

Hello? Ever heard of a pop-up window blocker?

Also, why do you have a blue name? The FAQ states that in order to get one your band has to have "some significance"

it also states that one of the possible criteria for "some significance" is for your band's AP profile to get more than 100 people to subscribe to it.

[EchoPark]

This album is fantastic. Well worth a purchase.

Top 5 contender here.

[ChelseaRiane]

The song with Kanye is sooooo good! And I hate Kanye

[dsmil]

Seems pretty good after my first listen, but they use the children chorus a little too much

[emmx8D]

finally listened to this and it's awesome. they're coming to cleveland next weekend but i can't go since i'll be out of town for family. bummer.

[ManInMusicBox]

This song gives me the chills BIG TIME. The part from 2:39 on is amazing IMO

I got goosebumps from that part that reminded me about my first listen to "Messenger" from thrice.

[BottomsUp]

Top album of the year for me and even possibily of all time, better then Brand New, Better then Thrice. It's so epic, and it gives me goosebumps every time i listen to it. I love them so much<3

[Smeee]

Been listening to this for a few weeks now and I still really like it. A couple of hit and miss tracks but on the whole, it's great.

Yeah that's not bitchy in anyway. Jeez...

Yeah you're right, I was feeling really irritable that day...

[TheOldCowboy]

Leto and company ripped straight off the album cover of this band from NJ. The Invincible Gods put out their EP in June. They say Jared Leto is a big fan. This is the cover:The iGods! (http://theinvinciblegods.com)

[ChelseaRiane]

Oh dear

[|adr3naLine|]

30 Seconds To Mars' tiger has nicer teeth.

[ChelseaRiane]

Ha I thought the same thing

[|adr3naLine|]

Look closely at the album art. Both halves of the tiger are exactly the same. It's a fake! I knew it was impossible for an animal to look that majestic.

Incredible album though.

[jonnyh19]

the album is brilliant! best songs have got to be closer to the edge, vox populi and this is war

[ChelseaRiane]

Jared Leto's voice is heavenly on this record

[dancelukedance]

30 seconds to mediocrity

[NateFoundGlory]

Just got it the other day, and I like it. Might take a few more listens to really hit me though, and I still prefer A Beautiful Lie. Kind of sounds like what Tom wanted AVA to sound like.

[jdfleming89]

yeah its good...kings and queens and this is war are both brilliant.....i was skeptical about kanye doing hurricane at first, but it really turned out great....the album is gonna have some success:)

[crazyangel]

but kanye isn't on my album.. is only on my download haha

[niceee]

yea..... do people actually have kanye on their cds? or is he doing backup or something? because i dont hear him.

[SophGod]

Kanye is not on my album. when i imported it into my itunes i deleted the album version and kept the Kanye version, it doesn't seem right without him.

[anthonydarko]

This record is pretty good I have to say, surprise of the year for me.

[MyJukeboxBroke]

if it's 30 seconds to mars, it's not worth listening to

good one
