Yesterday, a new song from 30 Seconds To Mars, Up In The Air, became available for download, having previously premiered yesterday from the International Space Station, a strange yet effective PR stunt. The song, which you can listen to via the video below, is the debut single from the bands upcoming fourth album, Love, Lust, Faith And Dreams, which features artwork from Damian Hirst on the cover and is set to be released on May the 21st. This new album is the bands first new material since 2009, and divisive as their output may be, this list seeks to celebrate their return by showcasing the ten finest pieces of work that the group, consisting of actor Jared Leto, his brother Shannon and their lead guitarist Tomo Milicevic, have created to date.
10. Echelon
Kicking things off, we have a track from the bands eponymous debut album that, like most songs on the release, wasnt released as a single. The songs name would later be used as a collective term for the bands fanbase.
9. Kings And Queens
The lead single from the bands third album, This Is War, this is one of the groups most recognisable songs, and is their joint most successful release in the UK, having reached number 28 in the charts.
8. The Kill
Also reaching number 28 in the UK charts is this, which is perhaps the bands most well-known track. Appearing on Guitar Hero: World Tour and with a video that pays homage to Stanley Kubricks The Shining, it became their first number one in a major market, topping the Canadian charts whilst reaching a high of sixty five on the American Billboard Hot 100, a position that is yet to be bettered.
