30 Seconds To Mars

From Yesterday

Label: Virgin Release Date: 04/02/2008

32355
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver February 4th, 2008

Big, fist-in-the-air rock from Jared Leto’s Thirty Seconds To Mars, ‘From Yesterday’ is quite clearly the Kerrang! Award-winners’ (best single, for their last, ‘The Kill’) most boldly mainstream standalone yet. Massive chorus, yep; the rest, kind of floats by without ever engaging its audience.

But that chorus, man: winner. U2 don’t even make ‘em like this any more. Make of that remark what you will on your way to scanning downward to that mark out of ten based on me not giving one solitary fuck about hollow but glossy mall-rock like this.
