This is war by 30 seconds to Mars
Great album, lots of gritty songs with energetic drumming and powerful guitar. A lot of the songs start off with a lower key start and really build to a massive crescendo. Jared Leto’s voice goes from whispering to raspy and soaring in an instant and helps bring their individual sound into its own. Personally, I like the choral work that is done on here, sounding like they either use a choir or they use sound bites from a concert audience, either way it adds to the likeability of some of the tracks.
The collaboration with Kanye West on the song Hurricane is well, and respectfully, done. Kanye’s distinct voice, and style, melds well with the track.
For me, my favourite tracks are Kings and Queens and Alibi, a more slower, lower energy ballad, but still with the powerful taste of 30 seconds to Mars personality.
To sum this album up, if I want to have a bit of a ‘rocking out’ session, this will possibly be one I’ll turn to. Oh, and you simply must watch the video they made for Kings and Queens, it’s amazing and almost like a mini film.
