Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
A Beautiful Lie, the second studio album from 30 Seconds To Mars, was recorded in five different countries over a period of three years, in order to accommodate vocalist/guitarist Jared Leto's acting career. Yet the album is anything but disjointed. On the contrary, it's more consistent than its predecessor, 30 Seconds To Mars, as well as more confident, more personal (lyrically), and generally more mature. True, A Beautiful Lie relies heavily on Leto's dynamic vocals to lead the way. But lead single, "Attack," illustrates the more stripped down, radio-friendly sound of the band perfectly - as do tracks "The Kill," "Was it a Dream" and "From Yesterday". The band conjure up some slower, more kaleidoscopic moments ("A Modern Myth," for example), but A Beautiful Lie is largely a punchy project with a frisky mid-tempo pace and an engagingly sonorous aura. The only criticism would be the choice of Bjork’s "Hunter" as a song to cover: 30 Seconds To Mars are very far from doing the song - or themselves - justice here. However, the newly enhanced version of the album, with its re-recording of the "The Kill" and DVD featuring live performances and MTV2 moments, help make up for any occasional blips. --Danny McKenna

CD Description
Sophomore album from stadium-sized, emo-tinted US radio rockers fronted by actor Jared Leto comes more than four years after their eponymous debut. In much the same vein as the first, this album is full of earnest, angsty, vaguely metallicyet melodic songs with high production values, heavily inspired by mainstream mid-90s alt-rock. Includes the singles 'Attack' and 'The Kill'.

5.0 out of 5 stars quality, 1 Mar 2007
By G. Gibb "gibby" (west lothian) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Jared Leto must have been into music before movies because this is a quality album usualy i think actor turned musician = making a fool of yourself this is not the case here.
this is the 1st 30 seconds cd i have ever heard and i cant rate it highly enough its great the music is strong and powerfull and jared's singing is way better than his acting.
i realy hope that's the end of the films and this band are around for a while.
if your into i hate saying EMO then its up your street i call it good rock music.
now im going to buy there other material you should start here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfection in Music, 12 Jul 2007
By B. Walton "walton06" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I don't usually say this about a band. But this album is PERFECT. Ranging from subdued and intimate to arena-filling rock anthems.

Jared's voice is on TOP form, and I mean that, just listen to "From Yesterday" if you don't believe me. He may be on a complete ego-trip with this album, but hell, he's earnt it.

It is massive, extravagant, daring, tight and simply amazing. Utilising different time signatures (such as the 3:4 time signature in "The Kill" - hence its Waltz feel, and the waltz dance in the video), and different tunings, 30STM have really set the bar for other bands to live up to.

Shannon Leto (Jared's brother) is by far one of the most amazing rock drummers to appear recently, with technical drumming, amazing fills and an overall brilliant performance.

And don't listen to Amazon's comment on their Bjork cover, "Hunter" is a stand-out track on the album, a brilliant alternative, synth epic.

30STM are a band that mean business, well, Jared does at least...
