New single due this summer according to Billboard. While I was not blown away by the second album (if not completely disappointed), the first CD was one of my most played that year. Hoping they bounce back.
EDIT : MODIFIED TITLE

I hope they continue down the path of the second album, because it was fantastic. The first album was also really good, but I was very impressed with the second.
Also, I want to crush all of Artie Ziff's hopes and dreams.

Ah, that's impossible! Maybe they'll compromise and take both paths. Although A Modern Myth was a pretty cool epic song from the last disc. Maybe the only one I really liked.

"From Yesterday" is my least favorite song off of either of their albums, and is one of the main reasons I like the first album so much better. "A Beautiful Lie," "The Kill," "Attack," "Savior," and "The Battle Of One" (which is a bonus track) were the only songs I actually dug off that album. "The Battle Of One" may be one of the most badass songs ever written.

I didn't really care for "Savior", really. Although my least favorite track from that album is "R-Evolve".

I didn't like R-evolve either. But agreed on From Yesterday being the worst song in their catalog. I honestly don't remember The Battle Of One.

I love the first album, period.
I love the second album because their success is well deserved. The debut album is more up my alley, but ABL just had such strong hooks that I just couldn't deny it.
If they have to make another A Beautiful Lie to keep it going, I'll be all for it. However, Jared has always made a big deal that the band will "never repeat themselves", and I hope they can find a way to stay true to that, rather than just doing what worked before.

I'm definitely pretty excited for this new album. It's been too long since we've heard new stuff from them. I never heard the first album, but like the rest of you liked the second one quite a bit. I may be alone on this, but "The Kill" is probably my least favorite song on the album and I thought it was mediocre at best, but everything else was very good. I'm almost hoping for a repeat album that sounds very similar.

I think "The Kill" is one of the most memorable and well-defining singles of the decade.

You're wrong, because "Attack", "A Modern Myth", "The Fantasy", "The Story", "The Battle Of One", and their cover of "Hunter" are all solid tracks.

Oh yeah, "Attack" is pretty good and "The Fantasy" is decent I guess. But "Hunter" was absolutely terrible. The rest aren't as memorably to me because:
A. They're not very good.
B. And yet none of them are as bad as "Hunter," which I remember vividly for how badly it sucked.

I'd rank "From Yesterday" sixth out of their 6 singles, but I'm not picky enough to suggest something else should have made it to #1. I'm happy they hit #1.

I too loved "A Modern Myth," hints my screen name. I made it this so long ago. I can't wait for the new album. I've been waiting for so long. |

I hope they continue down the path of the second album, because it was fantastic. The first album was also really good, but I was very impressed with the second. Apparently they're kind of combining the two...And evidently all the songs are between 5 and 8 minutes long. "From Yesterday" is my least favorite song off of either of their albums. I believe it was my next to or least favorite song on the second album before it became a single. His screaming was so prolonged and there's so much upper register in his voice that I found it a little annoying. But after hearing it on the radio a bunch, I quickly grew to love it. My least favorite track from that album is "R-Evolve". It was down there for me, too, until I saw them play it live. Hell, there's not one bad song on there, so unfortunately something's gotta come in last. It's probably "The Battle of One," honestly. I may be alone on this, but "The Kill" is probably my least favorite song on the album and I thought it was mediocre at best. "The Kill" was instantly my favorite song on the album as soon as I heard it and I was delighted when it became the 2nd single. I'm thrilled it became their breakthrough hit and that critics couldn't ignore them anymore, that they at least had to recognize their success, and that Jared's probably just as famous now for music as acting. Anybody who s**ts on 30 Seconds to Mars because of Jared Leto is just jealous that a (usually) gorgeous good actor is an even more passionate musician and bona fide rock star. But "Hunter" was absolutely terrible. None of them are as bad as "Hunter," which I remember vividly for how badly it sucked. Are you saying that because it sounds nothing like a "30 Seconds to Mars" song and because you've never heard the original? Or are you indeed familiar with the original version? I'm not saying the artist's name on purpose because I want you to tell me. I thought the cover was a very interesting choice from the artist's catalog and that it came off very well. I like how Jared switched the nationality lyric to "American," too. All this talk of A Beautiful Lie and remembering how good it is makes me want to pull it out and listen to it in the car tomorrow. |

Well I've seen them perform "Battle Of One" live, so I guess it was the reverse for me.

Wow, I'm looking forward to this. A Beautiful Lie is a top shelf album for me, great from start to finish. I saw them open for the Used last year and they amazed me; their show had the energy of My Chemical Romance and Linkin Park, and after they performed I sat down and enjoyed a beer for the first half of the Used's set before leaving.

I'm surprised 30 Seconds To Mars have not released a live set.

I guess I wasn't crazy! I thought we had one for this already.
Very cool song in my opinion. Should chart well.

Let's just use the other since it already contains over 2 pages of discussion specifically about "Kings & Queens".
