Though the band goes to every possible length to obscure it, full disclosure demands mentioning the fact that 30 SECONDS TO MARS is led by actor Jared Leto, known for such films as PANIC ROOM and REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, and twice named one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People." That said, charges of dilettantism would seem entirely out of order here, as all four members of the group seem entirely committed to their hard-edged sound. Stylistically, though the band itself cites such influences as Pink Floyd (whose latter-day producer Bob Ezrin is at work here) and the Cure, the more obvious reference points are Nine Inch Nails and perhaps Tool. Thick layers of aggressive guitar and booming drums alternate with dark, moody synth-laced passages while Leto's vocals range from full-on roar to feral growl.
