30 Seconds To Mars - This Is War Album.



1. Escape 
2. Night of the Hunter 
3. Kings and Queens 
4. This is War 
5. 100 Suns 
6. Hurricane [feat. Kanye West] 
7. Closer to the Edge 
8. Vox Populi 
9. Search & Destroy 
10. Alibi 
11. Strangers in a Strange Land 
12. L490

This album is impressive. Nuff said. My personal favorite would have to be 100 Suns which is the bit ending of the This Is War track and Hurricane featuring Kanye West. From Jared Leto's hushed voice to his piercing voice, it goes on and on from strength to strength. Magnificent. 


"And for those wondering how 30 Seconds to Mars and Kanye West sound on the same song, I’ll just mention that “Hurricane” is as near flawless a song as I have heard all year long. Neither West nor Leto take away from the other and in fact they compliment each other almost perfectly, Kanye’s verse being one of the album’s many, many highlights." - 411mania.com

YES. YES AND YES.

"On the track This is War, however, Leto is assisted on vocals by a backing group that consists of hundreds of the band’s fans who attended a special album preview and were recorded for use on the album earlier in the year. This massive backing choir comes into play and many of the album’s tracks and more often than not only serves to make the songs sound even more impressive than they already are. This is a band that has always done a lot for its fans but this is taking it to another level, actually including them in the recording of the album. The band also ran a competition that allowed 2,000 fans to have their photos used as the record’s album art. Pretty cool." - 411mania.com


If you'd notice, my header is currently a verse from Hurricane. And you can see my footer if you scrolled all the way to the bottom would be a verse from 100 Suns, beautiful song.


[EDIT]
Oh one more thing, I still can't figure out a verse in the track Hurricane, is it "This hurricane is  chasing us all underground" OR "This hurricane is chasing us all out to cry"? Lyrics from online sources said its the first one. But from what I hear is the second one. Hmm. Jared Leto, what is it?!
