  • Summary: This debut album from the Los Angeles five-piece band fronted by actor Jared Leto was produced by Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Kiss), and showcases more experimental and eclectic sounds than your typical alt-metal effort.

    Leto sounds more like Tool/A Perfect Circle frontman Maynard James Keenan than a member of the Screen Actors Guild--even if his lyrics are kind of space-case lame.

    30STM manage a high-minded space opera of epic scope befitting prog-rock prototypes Rush. [#9, p.142]

    The album has a polished sheen, but Leto's delivery of his earnest, sci-fi-tinged lyrics gets monotonous over the course of the album. [Dec 2002, p.96]

    Awesome album, not sure why people dislike it but at the same time that would make sense do to the fact that most people don't like this sort of music. I liked this album, however we can't always be on pills like these sense we all need to get back to reality.… Expand

    I've noticed comments that this CD (and band) is unappreciated, and that most don't give it a chance because it is "not popular". However, though I am a Jared Leto fan, I find his band to be simply unoriginal. The overall feel of the album is sophomoric at best, without any effort to be different. This album IS popular, mostly due to the main singer's appeal and the fact that it fits into that certain, mediocre niche, that appeals to the masses.… Expand
