America -Deluxe-

Another 30 seconds to Mars best

This album is not the same as mars previous music. It continues in the direction that was set in the guys previous record ‘Love, Lust, Faith + Dreams’, however this one has more of a dramatic turn. Most people who enjoyed the previous album will most likely find some enjoyment in this one as the themes are consistent with this one and the bands previous records. The new direction the band takes with the more electronic sound definitely suits them especially Jared letos voice. A nice surprise on the record happens to be ‘Remedy’ which happens to be one of the best song on the record along with ‘Love Is Madness’ which features Halsey. I reccomend this to any die-hard fans of mars as they will find much enjoyment with the record like I did, however for people who do not find themselves in the enjoyment of the poppy direction in which the band have previously been heading in then I would probably give this one a miss.

Was not expecting a lot given so many negative reviews....now having listened to it a few times, it’s funny how bands get absolutely slated for not writing a record at this stage of their journey which doesn’t sound like their ‘roots’ material. Metallica/Pearl Jam /Linkin Park to name a few all had the same backlash yet all are legends now.This release feels fresh and powerful, yes there is different mixes of genre here but that’s no bad thing- I would say this compliments the new direction and gives the music an edge which appeals to the masses-yes, the masses, the holy grail of music and why not if the music holds its own . This band is going to the next stage of their career and may well be on their way to Mars - why play festivals when you can do Wembley stadium 3 nights running solo with a show which you control and not the local landowner/ festival promoter? You decide.For me, this is album of the year so far in 2018.

It's a very different sound but you can't criticise Jared for trying something a little different . I have to admit it's growing on me . Some really good tracks on here . Give it a chance . Reminds me of the last Linkin Park record , elements of Depeche Mode as well .

I've just got to the end of this (on vinyl) taken a deep breath and thought WOW. This is one of those rare albums which for me was absolutely faultless. Perfect vocals, perfect band, superb songs, there was nothing that I didn't like, and this is the reason why I can never stop looking for new bands. I'm now streaming their This is War album and trying to decide whether I want to spend £40 on another vinyl album. I will, it's that good. Thanks lads

Not my fvourite cd from 30 Secs

As a huge 30stm fan I was not disappointed by this new album, yes it might be different than the other music they have made but so what, Don't they say change is good and in my opinion it's a great album it may not be everyone's cup of tea but we all have our own opinions. My fave song has to be the one sung and wrote by Shannon .... Remedy I've been waiting patiently for this song for years finally we get to hear him (yes I'm a Shannon fan). This album lived up to my expectations I wasn't let done and would happily recommend to friends who weren't already 30stm fans.

It pains me to say anything bad about my favourite band, but I just don't love this album. This Is War was the high point and every album since feels like a huge step down. Jared's voice is as amazing as ever, but the songs feel repetitive and overly synthed/messed with. There are a couple of fantastic tracks -Walk On Water, Dawn will Rise - but everything else is just meh.
