'You see this cross-section of people that's pretty beautiful,' frontman Jared Leto says of 2,000 different covers for This Is War. By James Montgomery 30 Seconds to Mars' Tomo Milicevic and Jared Leto Photo: MTV News In keeping with the grand tradition of pretty much everything they do, 30 Seconds to Mars ' upcoming This Is War album will feature — no lie — 2,000 different covers, each showing an image of a fan. And, unbeknownst to them, Cobra Starship 's Gabe Saporta too. Confused? Well, let us get you up to speed. Back in June, as they were putting the finishing touches on War, 30STM decided to involve their fans in the creation of the album artwork, asking them to submit pictures of themselves. The band would then select the 2,000 best images, which would be used as covers for the album itself and shipped randomly to stores around the world.

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 06:35:00 +0000

Jared Leto-directed short film 'The Ride' premieres online Thursday morning.

"I may look slightly tired, because I've been in the editing room late, late night finishing some of the post [production]. But yeah, right now, we're still not done."

By James Montgomery 30 Seconds to Mars' Jared Leto Photo: Matt Harper/MTV News By their own admission, 30 Seconds to Mars went to hell and back to make their new album, This Is War, so you can't blame them for being a little hesitant to talk about the process. Sometimes, words aren't enough. "I don't know what to say. We spent two years of our lives working on that record, and it was us against the world. We didn't have outside influence or help, we didn't have a label, we had us, betting the farm, and pushing ourselves," frontman Jared Leto sighed. "There were times that it was overwhelming. Everything that was going on was brutal, but there were beautiful moments as well. There was so many outside influences that were in conflict that working on the record was actually quite peaceful. It was a case of survival, to tell the truth." The two-year ...
