30 seconds to Mars has just come out with their first album A Beautiful Lie. They have created a sound blending the bands Hoobastank and My Chemical Romance. An unlikely combination turns into a bad mix. This band has a really cool name unfortunately it doesn’t carry over to their music. Every song has sappy high school theme to it. A Beautiful Lie will be an album worth checking out if you fall into the category of being a 15-year-old girl but other listeners will find this album lacking to say the least. 30 Seconds to Mars will lead you to turn off their music, in 30 seconds.
