Good thing with verschenktem potential

That one on a new album by the band to Jared Leto must wait long, one is accustomed to it now but as soon happened to the detailed announcement came as a surprise. Expectations after three great works were high and they have partly fulfilled. With 12 songs on the new album, the boys remain faithful and thus offer the same number of ears filler like on the previous album 'This Is War'. And thus comes the keyword equal because 'LLF + D' fits seamlessly on the CD of 2009, you could swap the songs even without problems. An 'Up In The Air' mutated to the second part of 'Night Of The Hunter', a 'The Race' could have found his children's choir, without question, in addition to 'This Is War' into place. Ultimately go 30 Seconds To Mars with the new album so no risks and offer the usual quality and the same brilliant catchy tunes as usual, it was the great opener 'Birth' or the powerful 'Northern Lights'. This is for many fans, of course, the downside to the fact that there is no return to the "old style" and will continue to put a lot on electric. All in all, go to the album, unfortunately, some boring and monotonous songs with the real bangers, so that gave me a 30 Seconds album not completely fallen for the first time.

For each song:

01 Birth
- Powerful and cooler Opener with horny Drums
- Could be a very long line
- 9/10

02 Conquistador
- Again, a lot of power, great lyrics
- One of the best songs
- 9/10

03 Up In The Air
- First single and best song on the album
- Cool text, cool drums, typical Mars sound, pretty fast, so must be the
- 10/10

04 City of Angels
- A lot of potential, could be better
- Would be faster, I think have been better
- 7/10

05 The Race
- Again, a lot of potential, but this is better implemented
- I like it better with each listen, has ne cool melody
- 8/10

06 End of all Days
- Weak start to the song
- The end of the song but increases
- 5/10

07 Pyres of Varanesi
- Cruel, worst song on the album
- Still do not know quite what to do with it
- 2/10

08 Bright Lights
- Things are looking up, good song
- Again, would have been with a little more speed and more rock more in it
- 6/10

09 Do or Die
- Similar to Bright Lights, total solid and tidy
- Gets better with each listen, a lot of potential
- 7/10

10 Convergence
- Instrumental filler (which can Linkin Park, for example, but much better)
- Not a highlight, but also not a bad thing
- 6/10

11 Northern Lights
- One of the best songs, really good chorus
- Cool tune that remains in the ear
- 8/10

Depuis le 12 Debut
- Cruel Acapella beginning, increases and then leaves you wanting more (acts at this point more like an intro for such a conclusion)
- Finale uncharacteristic, but ok
- 5/10

Total LLF + D is really not a bad album, but has presented in many places an unnecessary amount of potential. As clearly more would have been possible. All in all I would give 7/10 or 3.5 out of 5 stars, but from sympathy bonus and as a fan of the band I round on 4 stars on.
