30 Seconds To Mars once again redefine modern alternative music with their sophomore album. Most noticable differences from the debut to 'ABL' are the lack of electronic overtones (they're still there, just pushed backwards) and the quality of vocals has improved (the distortion effects are gone). Don't let the fact that everyone loves them now turn you off of 30STM, they're still the same band that gave us "Capricorn" and "Edge Of The Earth" in 2002.
What's great about it: Thoughtful lyrics, precise timing, amazing music

Never before has a band created something more beautiful, original, and inspiring as 30 Seconds To Mars did on their debut self-titled album. The music is bold and in-your-face, the lyrics are deep and thought-provoking, and no genre can contain this alternative rock band. If you're in the mood for something new and extraordinary, then look no further than 30 Seconds To Mars. The future is here and this is what it sounds like. Welcome to the universe.
What's great about it: Groundbreaking, unclassifiable, genre-defying
