Scarlett O'Horror30 Seconds to Mars- A Beautiful Lie
May 22nd 2008 08:33
Ok, let me be straight up first off the bat. The reason I gave this CD a listen is because Jared Letto has status. Honestly I kinda expected that his music would be shallow & whiny, but I was pleasantly surprised & very wrong. A Beautiful Lie does have a slightly bleeding heart emo/rock feel that waves in & out through it. However it does bring to the plate just a little more. The title track ‘A Beautiful Lie’ is pretty standard pop/rock/emo, as is ‘The Kill’, the first single off the album, which is definitely my favourite. ‘Was it a Dream’ which takes influence from the Cure really got me & I love a good string arrangement which ‘A Modern Myth’ provides. The final track on the album is a cover of Bjorks' ‘Hunter’, I never could have imagined that a dude could ever do justice to a Bjork song but Jared certainly has. Although this CD probably won’t do it for a lot of folks, it’s not just your standard emo/rock deal. It really is different & I highly recommend whacking it in your stereo.
