Customer Reviews

Great record
Notice how the bad reviews for this album came after the release of their second album "Beautiful Lie" and they put "The Kill" on Scuzz and now all the trendy boys like them cause "oooh the singer wears make-up and sings about songs that relate to my pain" and the girls like them cause "oooh he's hot" I mean the fact that one reviewer described the band as "part emo, part goth" just goes to show how lame their fanbase has become.

My advice would be to buy this album and pretend that they fell into a black hole afterwards, because Beautiful Lie sucked and they should be ashamed of themselves for selling out so bad.

The very first album
Personally, I think this album is totally different and is hard to compare with A Beautiful Lie which is the second album because they are both different in the style of music. This just goes to show how talented the band, 30 Seconds To Mars is in general. Of course this album is quite heavy and if you don't really like heavy stuff, go and listen to A Beautiful Lie first. It may make you change your mind about this album. If you still don't like heavy music, just try it anyway. You may like it. It is a five star album!

meh... bland and generic
I've heard this album a few times the whole way through and quite frankly it bored me to tears, the guitars are to toned down and singers vocals are a bit generic.
the lyrics seem uninspired but do blend with the music, its not that this is a bad album, in fact it goes by quite unnoticeable which is the whole problem, 30STM don't distinguish themselves from any other of the modern rock bands and seem just to be happy to sit somewhere safe and in between.

best track 'Echelon' but still not brilliant
