It should be permitted a question: What did you expect? Was a This Is War a A Beautiful Lie? Was this a second debut? It has evolved from plate to plate. Whether you like that is another matter. But logic can not deny the development of This Is War for newbie.
First, what do we have here so incredible new ...
Keyword concept album. Except that at least one of the four criteria mentioned in the title shows up in every song, I can see no great concept. Since This Is War is rather a so-called concept album thematically presents itself always as a large circle.
Keyword Intro / Interlude / Outro. Well, something we do not know yes. Ever heard This Is War from beginning to end ??? What are please Escape and L490? And wonderful forward / intermediate / postludes there this time. Birth begins very atmospheric with brass strings and choir and makes driving with a lot of rhythm wanting more while Depuis le début with music box sounds can finish the album gently. This does not have any love, but a successful incident is all.
And 30 STM 2013 between plays off. This time we are dealing with more Night of the Hunter / Hurricane and less Capricorn or Attack. But really new is not this sound. And why would you want something Functioning change. This Is War has been very successful, so why not a trace will not be more pop and sell more discs. This may be found objectionable, but ultimately dreams but every musician being able to live on his pressed on record works (well).
And who knew 30 STM, from the outset, will also take the time to einzuhören in Love Lust Faith + Dreams. There are the usual rhythms, the electronic elements and the safe cherished not only by Jared Leto but also some fans choirs. Of course it is now and then extremely pathetic. End of all Days can not hear you in a loop without being depressed. Bright Lights exaggerates it safe with Oh oh oh, sounding like the soundtrack to a new teen series. But there are pearls. Conquistador. My feet can not keep silent while. The Race. Genial how a title can be translated into sounds. Northern Lights. For all fans vocal fireworks. And yes, I include Up in the Air to the pearls of this album. You have to just admit it and abwinken not right just because the clip during prime time on the music channels up and running down. Lyric is the first single one of the better tracks on Love Lust Faith + Dreams.
Why mourn the old days? Alive but in the here and now and take that on, 30 Seconds to Mars have what here. Would there be an album that sounded exactly like his predecessors, no one would be happy with it. You ought to know but the courage for further development. Who even after dozens of passages can not make friends with the new board to listen just gone. Consistent and logical, it is what Love Lust Faith + Dreams offers. A modern pop album with small weaknesses, but a lot of potential if one allows for.
