Who doesn't know Thirty Seconds To Mars? One the most successful band in the world, has created so many famous and beautiful songs. I'm quite amazed by how late I am to listen the complete album of their THIS IS WAR - which was famous and controversial and the moment. But that's okay, let's rewind and have a magical nostalgia.

During their journey, they did various line-up member changes till right the band only consist of Jared Leto and Shannon Leto (they're brothers tho). They have launched 5 studio albums and This Is War (launched in 2009) is their third album.

This Is War is a wild and spectacular album released on December 8, 2009. This album draws influence from progressive work, new wave, industrial, and heavy metal music. It reached top ten album charts in several countries and has sold over four million copies worldwide.
I didn't really listen to other's 30 Seconds To Mars' songs, but I personally think that this album is lyrically controversial. It's very dark but consist of beautiful lyrics about peace and freedom. In the world like this which full of dark politics, propaganda and other bad stuffs, this album is getting more relevant (even more during this pandemic LOL)
Listening to the complete album will create a fine spirit about peace and reborn. About how dark their life before and they were in the battle to escape their past life to get a better, more peaceful life. Some of the songs also mention about revenge.
The whole beat was a blast, Jared's vocal was magical, the killing lyrics were more than enough. I love every lyrics from this album, it's so honest and pure. I let you know my most to least favourite songs from this album:
1. Vox Populi - the lyrics and the spirit are beautiful
2. Night Of The Hunter
3. Kings And Queens
4. This Is War
5. 100 Suns - this song is like one package with This Is War you'll notice if you play it side by side
6. Alibi - I think this is their only melodically slow songs in this album
7. Closer To The Edge
8. Hurricane
9. Escape - short but a good music opening in this album
10. Bad Romance (Live) - I'm sorry Gaga, I love you, but their version is better for me
11. Hurricane 2.0 (feat. Kanye West)
12. L490 - instrument only, still beautiful
13. Stronger - Live
14. Search And Destroy
15. Stranger In A Strange Land
Well this is based on my personal opinion guys, probably different with other's.
Even though right now, 30 STM has only two personnels, they are reportedly working on a new album. I even noticed that their social media is getting more active lately. Jared was caught posting on the social media recording his vocal. Can't wait to listen to this super talented brother duo in the near future!
