woweewowowow. 30 SECONDS TO MARS.
GREAT band. Jared Leto (yes, it's the same Jared Leto) can really rip on vocals. I know I've said this sort of thing several times before about other bands, but this time I have no doubt or half-heartedness: 30S2M is extremely original, and beautifully executed. I first heard them literally years ago off of an Immortal Records sampler, and really dug what I was hearing...but the new tracks that have surfaced work better to distinguish their sound. space rock to the max, with great evocation of emotion. glistening atmospherical textures from the guitars and programming make for soundwaves that are soothing and rockin' at the same time...and Leto's wonderful voice / activation of words that appeal to the ear are...perfect. this is a great band - each element works well with the others to create one sonic environment that completely consumes the listener. so...do yourself a favor and try to download some tracks from 30 Seconds to Mars - go to www.shoutweb.com and click on "Hear Capricorn" in the upper-right corner of the page to listen to the first track off the cd. others can be found on Audio Galaxy. The full-length debut will be released on June 18th - 2 days after my birthday! enjoy...and let me know your thoughts after you listen.
