30 Seconds to Mars [ECD] by 30 Seconds To Mars (CD, Aug-2002, Immortal)

The album is fantastic and very much worth listening to. Jared Leto's voice may not appeal to everyone . It does to me. He has a sensational voice. The drumming is outstanding. Shannon Leto is by far one of the very few best drummers out there today. The guitar work is incredible. This is their first album and very few first albums impress me like this one did. The songs are hard driving, pump your fist in the air type. If you listen to the album when you wake up, it will get you moving.

I bought this CD back in the day when it first came out. I loved it, and I still do. It's a nice prog rock cd, very unlike their second CD, A Beautiful Lie. The second CD seems to be a lot more...Emo? It's slower. 30 Seconds to Mars is a more upbeat album, and song number 8, The Mission, is even less like the new CD. It's this fast paced punkish song.
When it comes right donw to it, as I said before, I love this CD. It is one of my faves, and I think it just might always will be. Jared Leto is an incredibly tallented artist, (in both his music and his movies) and I think he shows his extreme musical tallent in this, and both CDs.
Keep an eye out for 30STM, they're coming up FAST.

Its just not as upbeat and together the sound and the band seems more together/insync on A Beautiful Life the 2nd album which is my all time favorite album ever!This was the debut album so I am sure all this takes time to get in sinc. NO MISTAKE I LOVE THIS BAND NOT JUST MR. GORGEOUS LETO. I am looking forward to the third album as well, soon I hear.

I love this album because it has this "atmospheric" type of feel and sound to it. My favorite songs are Capricorn, Edge of the Earth, Oblivion, and Echelon. I would recommend this to A Perfect Circle fans.
