30 Seconds to Mars

Jared Leto. The epitome of a singer songwriter. If you don't recognize Jared from his band, perhaps you would know him from a movie he has played in. Maybe in american psycho, Highway, Lord of war, or perhaps, Fight Club. Or maybe because he was nominated as Time magazines 50 most beautiful people in 1996/1997. Leto did first gain a bit of fame from his acting career, specifically in a teenage drama called "My So Called Life" in 1994. But, in 1998 he formed what i know him best for. His band, 30 seconds to mars. Jared formed the band with his brother Shannon Leto. In 2002, they published their first self titled album, which received a lot of positive reviews. But the release of their seconds album is what really made 30 Seconds to Mars take off (pun intended). The release of the album beautiful lie was a huge success and it even hit mainstream. Followed by their album "This is War", this album hit mainstream as well and really gave the band their name.

But what do i think about 30 Seconds to Mars? I first discovered 30 Seconds to mars with their song that they are most famous for, A Beautiful Lie, as well as From Yesterday. And through the natural processes of just finding new music, I discovered songs like the kill, closer to the edge, and kings and queens. Every song I knew by thirty seconds to mars.... I loved. So one Christmas day when i received all of the cards from the relatives with itunes gift cards in them, I decided to purchase a thirty seconds to mars album on ITunes. I listened to the whole album and I really was not impressed. Although some of their songs are great... like Hurricane for example. all of their other songs and very boring in my opinion. A lot of people may have different opinions. But the good songs by Thirty seconds to mars are great, but all the other ones... they're just "meh".
