I've been the 2nd album inspired by the band (I've only after the first album brought) and yes it's true, the new album is different and also quiet, the singer "screams" not so often in the songs. Perhaps will miss some ... others will perhaps delighted by preferences ...
But I think, all 3 albums are very different (which is to first create a ...) and yet you can see very clearly the handwriting of the band again and their very special way! I also do not think that you can compare them with other bands ... or should!
Jared Leto's voice has grown a lot in my opinion, the songs get under your skin, particularly alibi, Hurricane and Stranger in a strange land.
The electronic sounds / parts might bring some rock fans a little confused .... I for my part say simply: I was surprised, but simply loved it! So sit back, take in it and enjoy! It is worth it !!! ;)
Until the concert in Hamburg - provehito in Altum!
