With over 15 acclaimed films to his credit, actor Jared Leto knew he had a challenge in creating a legitimate musical group, and the fact that a great many gifted thespians have pumped out some pretty awful albums hasn't slowed him at all.

great album.......2007-07-28
The Best Ever.......2007-07-13
Great songs, Great sound, Great Band. .......2007-05-31
Every song has a different sound to it, which makes the CD even better because you really can't put a certain theme on it--I like that.
I especially like 'The Kill', 'A beautiful lie', 'Attack' and 'From Yesterday', but that is not to say that I dislike any of the other songs: each one is fantastic in its own right.
Appart from Panic! At the Disco's Debut Album, "A Beautiful Lie" is my favorite CD of 2005.
With this album, 30 Seconds to Mars has won itself a good position in my highly-coveted (at least I think so) list of favorite bands.
Anyone who wishes to spend some money on some quality rock-punk-emo music, should definitely look no further.
Protected CD - DO NOT BUY.......2007-05-23
Like most people I usually rip my CD's to MP3s and do the majority of listening either at my computer or on the go with my MP3 player. This isn't even a remote possibility. Do not support companies and bands that restrict consumer's rights!
This is a Virgin Records CD.
Different from their first album; energetic rock with some pretensions.......2007-05-22
- Interesting song topics - far from the standard concerns of pop/rock. Leto is interested in internal battles, progress of life (fitting for an actor, I guess)
- More variety between and within songs (tempo, topics) than the first album
- Some catchy hook songs like From Yesterday and Attack
- Less noise and more music
The bad
- Verges on pretentious at times
- There's still no guitarist capable of a good lead to sustain the songs - sometimes songs just feel incomplete
- Jared's vocals are still somewhat marginal, not really skilled, rather just enthusiastic
- Doesn't have quite the intensity of the first album
Somehow I found this a bit forgettable - there was nothing I disliked, and some good songs, but I only listened to it a couple of times.
Incidentally - I really like the "addon" track Hunter as it is quite different from the rest - more mellow, quietly intense - and Leto doesnt do any screaming in it ;) Battle of One is also OK.

Music for a Splendid Voyage.......2007-06-14
I have treated Seconds Out like it was a case of vintage Dom Perignon since I first heard it at age 16, shortly after it was released. I only bring it out when I need true transcendence, and it has NEVER disappointed.
The first four tracks are pleasant but, compared to the rest, merely excellent (though Carpet Crawlers is hypnotically mellifluous). From Firth of Fifth on, there is pure magic in every tune. They are almost all Gabriel compositions from the band's best era, and Collins had yet to go pop, so he gives each song the loving respect it deserves, and his strong voice takes the music places Peter's never could. Melding some of rock's wisest and most transportive lyrics with myriad melodies and thunderous climaxes, this is Genesis' masterpiece, and no other band has ever made it to this particular musical Valhalla.
Back when inner voyaging was my main occupation, I could always count on Firth of Fifth and Cinema Show to take me to the crest of a peak and launch me into the heavens. Time after time, year after year, those tunes carried me all the way home. If you've ever peaked so hard your entire body convulses with every note, you know what I mean. If you haven't, do your research on how to get there cleanly and wisely, get in the right time and place and mindset, and put these two tunes on, LOUD, loud enough to make you feel the music in every cell of your body, not just hear it; you'll get there, and it will change your life from that moment on.
This is yet another amazingly perfect live show recorded in Paris, like Babylon By Bus, Bill Evans' Paris Concert, and so many others. Paris makes the magic come to life. Spend some time in the city and it's easy to see why. The architecture and ambience are non pareil; it would be hard to not be inspired there. Genesis clearly were.
This music breathes and takes on a life of its own, especially on Firth, Cinema, the Musical Box crescendo, and Supper's Ready; how many bands can write a 25-minute rock symphony, and have it go this many places with this much color and depth? I can think of only one.
I haven't heard this cd, so I can't say if they've come close to the incredible vinyl version (hope so but doubt it). I have three original copies, and my pristine japanese virgin vinyl version still emerges from the vault once a year or so when the muses let me know that it's time to ascend to the land of pure bliss again. When cds were invented, my first thought was, Seconds Out with zero crackle and pop! But alas, cds suck and are flat and dead; digital simply can not touch analog for warmth and depth. Still, if ever a recording deserved a 5.1 super-cd ultimate This Is It version, it's Seconds Out.
Apparently Hackett left after this record because he was mixed down too far, among other reasons, but I think that helps the ghostly textures he created with his volume pedal and delays become part of the overall music, rather than a normal lead sound. There is a haunting feeling here (haunted by PG's spirit making sure his music and incomparable lyrics were respected?) that is far beyond the sum of each player's part. Chester's drumming (and Bruford's on Cinema) is in perfect harmony, their jazz chops adding to the band's progressive/classical feel, and the drum duet on Los Endos is another fine peak. Collins was a hell of a drummer, a forgotten fact.
Banks shows himself to be a major part of Genesis' magic, his endlessly melodic parts always making everything sound sublimely musical. He and Rutherford and Hackett were a magnificent team, and they left us with this incredible document. I've listened to many Genesis bootlegs but have never heard a show that was as musically superlative as this, though some of the Lamb tour is killer. Add to that the legendary sound quality...this is easily one of the finest-sounding live albums by any band ever---thank you Mr. Hentschel, you are a genius...and we have one of the sweetest recordings for inner space travel available on this planet.
This is NOT background music. It demands total immersion on great headphones or an audiophile system, vinyl much preferred, volume waaay up, lights out, phone off the hook, doors locked, mind wide open. Give it the respect it deserves, and Seconds Out will take you places you have never been, places where you become part of the music of the spheres and you are complete.
Bon Voyageeee!!
Amazing.......2007-06-08
Amazing, the sound and the presentation.
If you are a Genesis' fan, and specially about the Peter Gabriel's period in Genesis, you should have it. Don't doubt.
Classic!.......2007-05-07
Best live album.......2007-03-09
Great live album, but..........2007-02-12
There are songs that I just hate on this album, even if I love the studio version of these same songs. The best example is "The lamb lies down", I think that it is a bad version, the vocal are horrible and the music is not better. I don't like "Robbery, Assault and battery" and "I know what I like"..Also, cutting "Dance on the volcano" was not a good idea, the best part of this song is not there (the ending section)
Now, let's give the good news, Firth of fifth is incredible, Supper's ready is well done also and The cinema Show is amazing. Good live version of Los Endos. Squonk and Carpet Crawlers are just OK, but the studio version are better. Overall, I am 50% satisfied with this double live album, hence the mid point rating.

A Beautiful Lie - Beautifully Enhanced.......2007-04-12
For anyone who isn't sure... be curious, dont miss out.
Provehito In Altum
An amazing and unexpected treasure.......2007-03-22
We are fairly fickle about our CD collection and the quality the bands must maintain. Having said that, some bands are not purchases out-of-the-gate, or on release day. For a few, like this 30 Seconds to Mars CD, they have to glean our interest from radio and video releases first.
And wow, have they done that. Once FROM YESTERDAY came out, we knew we had to own the CD. But it was soon apparent that was only the beginning. If you are worried that the constant yelling vocals of Jared Leto may indicate an album that is "less than," DON'T BE! From start to finish this CD has no deletable tracks - a feature that gets quite a bit of use in our household (we can clear CD tracks from the player that we do not want it to play).
Don't waver any more if you are questioning the addition of this CD to your collection. The radio and video hits are only a hint of what is being offered, and we look forward to the next 30 Seconds to Mars release.
I cannot really equate them to any other band, which is the most difficult part of assessing the quality of the 30 Seconds tracks. That alone should be an indicator of why this CD is a must-own.

Though Rockpile managed only one, nigh-perfect album at the height of the '80s new wave boom, its members--Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Billy Bremner, and Terry Williams--had played together in various incarnations, in some instances for over a decade: Edmunds and drummer Williams had been in the '60s power trio Love Sculpture; all had played on Lowe's '78 album Jesus of Cool and Edmunds's '79 collection Repeat When Necessary. But Seconds of Pleasure became their most complete and satisfying pop statement--if their ironic swan song, as well. This newly remastered collection features the complete original album, as informed and vibrant a tribute to American rockabilly and R&B roots (with an amped-up take of Joe Tex's "If Sugar Was as Sweet as You" and inviting reworkings of Gene Chandler's "Teacher Teacher" and Chuck Berry's obscure "Oh What a Thrill") as any contemporary group has ever managed--especially considering three quarters of the material is either Rockpile originals or contemporary compositions, like "Wrong Again" by Squeeze songwriters/mainstays Difford and Tilbrook. The generous slate of bonus tracks features all four acoustic, live-in-the studio tracks from the Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds Sing the Everly Brothers tribute EP distributed with initial pressings of the LP; two fine live BBC recordings from '77; a cover of Graham Parker's "Back to Schooldays"; a band original, "They Called It Rock"; and a blistering live rendition of Parker's "Crawling from the Wreckage" from one of the band's last appearances together at the Concert for Kampuchea. Though Lowe may now downplay them as "a posh bar band" who "specialized in playing Chuck Berry music four times faster than anyone else," Rockpile was truly one of the great rock bands of their--or any--era. --Jerry McCulleyCustomer Reviews:

+1/2 -- Swansong from legendary UK rock 'n' roll quartet.......2005-09-28
I've gone back and forth on this LP. I found it disappointing upon first hearing it, feeling it didn't compare favorably to Lowe's "The Jesus of Cool" or Edmunds' "Tracks on Wax 4." But over the years I've found the songs to grow on me, and though the CD reissue (and perhaps the original LP) has a somewhat pinched, barely-stereo mix on many tracks, the performances and arrangements hold up. Columbia's Legacy reissue sweetens the original eleven tracks with seven worthy bonuses, including the essential quartet of Everly Brothers songs that were included on a 7" with the original LP. An additional trio of live tracks ("Back to Schooldays" "They Called it Rock" "Crawling From the Wreckage") show how powerfully sloppy the band was as a live act. 4-1/2 stars, if allowed fractional ratings.

Still a great big pile of rock (and then some).......2005-09-13
What was puzzling to outsiders about the Rockpile breakup was that it was such a contrast to the upbeat, almost joyous music on their only album under the band name. They rumbled out of the gate with that catchy "Teacher Teacher," with Nick singing in that distinctive British wise-owl voice of his (I never knew it was a Gene Chandler tune), straight into Dave and his high-pitched Welsh warble belting out Toe Tex's "If Sugar Was as Sweet as You" as another sing-song soul raveup. And save for a couple of speed bumps, they kept up the pace for a full album, with the high point being the pure, unadulterated, full-on, boyish "Heart," sung in high spirits (and high register) by bassist Billy Bremner. And along the way, there are also the bar-band bounce of "Play That Fast Thing (One More Time)" and "You Ain't Nothin' but Fine," Edmunds driving home the rock'n'roll grind of Difford & Tilbrook's high-rev "Wrong Again (Let's Face It)," a very Berry remake of Chuck Berry's "Oh What a Thrill," and the overreaching heartache of "Now and Always," a tune that wouldn't have been out of place in Buddy Holly's record collection. "Seconds of Pleasure" was one great big lovable pile of rock when I bought it in college and played it over and over, and 25 years later, it still is. The only things that have aged are the musicians and their fans.
And the bonus tracks make it all the better. The live cuts are OK (all said, I wish they could've licensed their version of "Little Sister" with Robert Plant from the Kampuchea album), but the inclusion of the "Nick Lowe & Dave Edmunds Sing The Everly Brothers" EP, a limited-edition four-song 7-incher from the early pressings of the LP, is just plain wonderful. They paid loving tributes to Phil and Don without trying to ape them, and just to have pristine versions of their incredibly sweetly sad versions of "Message to Mary" and "Crying in the Rain" is worth the price of the CD.
Y'know, every time I hear or see Nick Lowe these days, I get this feeling of sadness. These days, he kills us quietly with his stellar writing and his acoustic guitar. But I remember too fondly the days of Rockpile -- of this album and previous clever Nicktunes such as "Cruel to Be Kind," "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding," "They Called It Rock," "American Squirm" and "Rollers Show" -- and just wish for one more bit of that Rockpile magic. And having the enhanced CD brings back the very same feeling.

Amazon.com's Best of 2001
Saliva's heavy rock--with a dash of rap--is at once current and timeless, unlike many of the bands spawned by Korn and Limp Bizkit. This Memphis-bred bunch's powerful, diverse debut features a dozen lyrically and musically focused tracks from a band clearly possessed of strong chops and smart heads. Rangy singer Josey Scott's passionate delivery works well when matched with the chunky riffing of "Musta Been Wrong," the soaring, layered song's intensity balanced by shredding guitar. Every Six Seconds has many such moments, with producer Bob Marlette's taut, techno-inflected touch lending "Lackluster" and "Faultline" a NIN vibe. "Hollywood" is a classic midtempo take on Tinseltown, while the CD's first single, "Your Disease," is simply a hit. "My Goodbyes," the ideal album closer, has a mystical musical quality befitting departed loved ones. Ultimately, Saliva's thoughtful, heartfelt, earthy intensity make Every Six Seconds an impressive entrée from start to finish. --Katherine TurmanCustomer Reviews:

I was blown away by the power and energy this band has. The world has been void of hard rock for too long. In the times of digital music this a refreshing look back to when music was fun and the bands were almost dangerous. This cd has an edge on it that only a few bands can manage in modern times. "Musta been wrong", "your disease", and "hollywood" are some of the better tracks.
If you are a hard rock fan try this one you won't be disappointed.

Great DVD of a 70"s Classic Rock Album.......2007-01-10
"Sloppy Seconds" was never one of their best known albums, and I guess anybody would call it irreverant at best: not of religion or God, just of society. I had the original L.P., which I lost and a cassette (also lost), and was really missing the unusual songs on this truly unique album (the lyrics of many of which were written by Shel Silverstein in an earlier life: later of Playboy, Esquire and New Yorker cartoon fame and most recently as a best-selling author of children's books.) Finding a top-quality CD of this hard-to-find album was a really pleasant surprise, and listening to these 30 year old classics in new-age clarity has become a series of enjoyable continuing trips down memory lane.
I highly recommend the album and the seller.

Album Description
Originally a Goth-flavored post-punk outfit, the Cure evolved into one of the truly seminal bands of the '80s, and ultimately one of modern rock's most celebrated and influential acts. Guided by creative visionary Robert Smith, the Cure's signature sound balances a dreamy pop savvy with a dark, brooding majesty and fuses superbly crafted, literate songs with a feverish emotional intensity. The band's early catalog-newly remastered and expanded wtih a wealth of rarities-is a series of masterpieces that laid the groundwork for their phenomenal and enduring popularity.Customer Reviews:
Should be called The Audiophile Edition.......2007-05-17
A Masterpiece and Touchstone of Minimalist Rock.......2006-11-15
- Cure mastermind Robert Smith, liner notes
This album, the Cure's second, is spare, gloomy, atmospheric and even beautiful in its own way. If you can get into this kind of mood, SEVENTEEN SECONDS is absolutely brilliant. It also contains "A Forest," complete with its gorgeous, haunting intro (which was edited from the STANDING ON A BEACH compilation). "A Forest" is one of the most quintessential Cure songs. Other highlights include the dreamy "In Your House" and the creepy, ominous "At Night."
The title track is a strange song, and I've often wondered what it means. Why "17" seconds? It seems to be making a point about the arbitrariness of existence. Years ago, I came up with this weird fantasy of what the song was about based on the line "Seventeen seconds/ A measure of life." I imagined this was the length of time a cherished Indian prince was alive after birth. I even told some people that's what it was about just for kicks! An actual quote - "No one has lived longer than a dead child, and Methusula (P'eng Tsu) died young. Heaven and Earth are as old as I and the ten thousand things are one." - Chuang Tzu, about 300 B.C., China

Unlike some other reviewers on this forum, I think the one-off Cult Hero single included here is a cheeky hoot (Cult Hero were basically the Cure plus a bunch of friends including local postman Frank Bell on vocals and the super-talented, on-again-off-again Cure member Porl Thompson on guitar). I think "I'm A Cult Hero" and "I Dig You" are both funny, rocking and way cool. A great thing to throw on at a party . . . quite the opposite of SEVENTEEN SECONDS. They sound like they were having a blast on the live versions of these songs, also included. The Cure live tracks actually sound very good; Robert Smith's guitars sound clean and crisp on most tracks and Simon Gallup's bass is thick and resonant. As for the rest, the demos are mostly of use to die-hard fans who study everything by the Cure they can get their hands on, but the alternate mix of the bizarre "three" is pretty trippy.

Buy this, but don't put your original up on Amazon or eBay. The bonus tracks are worth the price, but the first disc is far from improved. In fact, it's much worse. Yes, the playing is cleaned up some, but the vocals are very quiet. Too quiet. So far back in the mix that new ears could think it to be an all instrumental album unless they're really concentrating.
