This is War, the album from Thirty Seconds To Mars flows as one continuous narrative. Real skill is demonstrated in holding each song singular whilst having running themes and sounds. The ideas of revolution are clear yet are mixed with enigmatic andalmost riddle like lyrics. The sound is one of heavy rock proggressing past the limitations of it's genre. Heavy focus on percussion gives the album strong rythem and beat with guitar and synths producing varied sounds and sensations on top of these solid foundations. Each section is layered to give a rich and thick product for our ears. On top of these praises it has the sound of a generation with it, in it's lyrical context as well as the rough sung chorus baking with the sense of the rable.
A fantastic album showing willingness to experiment and explore and taking this band beyond previous limitations.
