Raise your hand if you think Jared Leto is hot. Well if you just raised your hand, then you will be happy to know that you can catch Jared Leto doing something other than acting. Leto is the lead singer of 30 Seconds to Mars. I must say that he has a great voice, and that I’m glad he has found something he is good at; not to say that he isn’t good at acting, but he has a knack for this thing called music.

This is a really catchy album. I didn’t think that it would be all that great, and I am pleasantly surprised with it. I thought this would be an album that sounds like something fairly mainstream. It’s not like that, however. It doesn’t have the sound of Nickleback, or Staind, or probably a lot of stuff out there. It’s a unique sound they have and I like it.

I like all the songs on this album. If I had to choose a favorite, I think I would probably choose Capricorn and Edge of the Earth. Those songs are the catchiest ones on the album, in my opinion. The guitar riffs are really neat, and add a nice little background flavor to the songs. The songs have a similar sound, but they all sound different. There aren’t any slower songs; they are all have a faster, upbeat quality to them. Which makes the entire album blend together really well.

I recommend this album to anyone who likes rock music. Well, to anyone who likes music that doesn’t sound like everything else played on the radio. This is just an album you can escape with. It’s not study music, but it will help you get away from problems for a little while. It’ll transport you somewhere; where it transports you, I don’t know. Definitely give this album a listen if you are looking for something new.
