Love Lust Faith + Thirty Seconds To Mars
Released in May on Virgin Records, the band’s fourth studio album debuted at No. 6 on the Nielsen SoundScan chart. A few months before that, the band celebrated the release of the LP’s first single, “Up in the Air,” by watching a Falcon 9 rocket take off from Cape Canaveral, Fla., and blast into space. On board the rocket was a compact disc that included the single.
“It was amazing to feel it take off,” frontman Jared Leto said in a recent interview, according to the Associated Press. “The noise and the brightness was overwhelming, and you’re still a mile away.”
Thirty Seconds To Mars will spend the next several months up in the air, on the road and on the stage supporting Love Lust Faith + Dream. Entertainment Weekly was one publication that gave the album high marks, writing that its “throbbing modern-rock anthems ‘Up in the Air’ and ‘Bright Lights’ offer visceral, hands-up hedonism.” People magazine wrote that “Jared Leto’s band takes off into the U2 stratosphere.”
On Tuesday the rockers play Paris’ Grand Palais. After that the band has more dates booked in Europe, along with gigs in Australia, Japan and Brazil.
