When an acoustic song written and sung by the drummer is ten times better than all the Jared Leto popsongs combined!
So proud of Shannon though
While “Rescue Me” is so far my fave of this Murica era, don’t misunderstand me, I still just barely like it.
He needs to stop talking to Zedd and the Chainsmokers and stop listening to Taylor and Halsey and the like - if these are the influences showing themselves in this new “work”.
Hoooow is it that the man who wrote “Night of the Hunter” and “Fallen” and “R-evolve” wrote these songs too? This new shit all has the same words, all the same sentiments; they repeat the same damn phrases over and over just to baaarely fill 3 minutes of meh. It’s legit embarrassing to imagine these songs took more than 20 minutes to create. Let alone years.
I hate to think it, but it’s honestly like he’s lost his creativity and is just churning stuff out to churn stuff out.
Where is the complexity? The wordplay and imagery? Each set of lyrics is repetitive and disappointing. Nothing makes me want to take the song apart and think about what the writer was going through at the time they were writing it. Nothing notable stays with you. It’s like eating junk food. You consumed something quickly and it was unremarkable. In a few hours you forget you ate it. Not saying every song needs to be like super deep and complex (I mean, my god, Gaga is like my fave person ever and most of her songs are not Dostoyevsky by any means) but these songs Leto’s releasing are trying to be serious and thoughtful and deep. And they’re just…not. And worse, he thinks they are? And even more worse, he seems to be clinging to some concept that they’re about America and the “times we’re living in” when 1) they’re general enough to actually sound like they’re about nothing and 2) also (all) allegedly written 5-8 years ago? So… what is it?
At this point, it seems like a desperate ploy of a man nearing his late-40s to finally really break (pander to) the US market so he’s not having to tour Russia when he’s 55 years old. So he can do a simple US tour, make some money close by when he needs it, and move on. It’s so obvious. And it’s depressing.
Anyways.
Agreed and honestly, I’m just going to pretend this band quit after their tour in 2015 and that this album isn’t happening. 30 Seconds to Mars sure was a great band and will be missed! <3
Haven’t been active on this blog for ages. But then again neither has 30stm lmao.
My opinion: i like it, it’s catchy. Just not what I want to hear from 30 Seconds To Mars, who’ve got far greater potential. So I’m sad this is just a remake of the last (2) album(s): something they always said they would’nt do. Also, barely any rock influences left? idk. Not even an interesting drum pattern, which they did on llf+d even.
Still gonna get tickets to their show and scream/sing along like 6 years ago tho.
the amount of people I’ve had to unfollow because of jared leto hate!!!
-he’s not a rapist, that was a fanfiction blown out of proportion
-will smith does not hate him, that was a false article. In fact, Will Smith has sang his praises many time and said that jared ‘had the hardest job in suicide squad’
-the cast literally sent him thank you cards for the presents and karen fukuhara asked him to sign some stuff and she kept it all because she loved it so much
-Jared and the director David Ayer has both confirmed that the condoms WERE NOT USED CONDOMS, and that some of the gifts like the anal beads etc were made up to create hype and that there were many other lovely gifts sent to the cast including cupcakes, jewellery for margot and books on witchcraft for cara
-the cast have all said that he brought them together and that they are thankful for him doing that because it created such a strong bond
-if you look at the ss premiere or anytime the cast are together ALL of them, yes including viola davis, have hugged him and smiled at him. They have all been open with him and have shown him open affection not knowing that cameras were filming them and without it being in the public eye.
-Margot Robbie has said many times that jared continuously asked her if she was okay between takes because he knew how intense it was and wanted to make sure she was good
please check yourselves before you wreck yourselves i hate tumblr so fucking much let leto do his job omg
