ABOUT "30 Seconds to mars"

30 Seconds to Mars is the debut album of alternative rock band 30 Seconds to Mars and can best be described as a concept album. It was released on August 27, 2002, by Virgin Records. The album produced two singles, "Capricorn (A Brand New Name)" and "Edge of the Earth." Of the two, only the former charted, peaking at #31 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock chart. 30 Seconds to Mars met with mixed reviews and achieved sales of just over 100,000.

The overall theme of the album is of that of human struggle. "Revolution," a song recorded for the album, was not included because its lyrics did not fit the rest of the album thematically, and because its lyrics could be misinterpreted[citation needed]. Ultimately, the band chose not to include the song in light of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Much of 30 Seconds to Mars features synthpop elements. In accordance to this, Elijah Blue Allman and Renn Hawkey of Deadsy contributed on the tracks "Welcome to the Universe" and "Capricorn (A Brand New Name)," respectively.

The phrase 'Welcome to the universe' is repeated throughout the album in the songs "Welcome to the Universe", "93 Million Miles", and "The Struggle". The original name for the album was going to be "Welcome to the Universe". Additionally, "division" and "unity" are repeated in the lyrics of the songs "Oblivion", "Echelon", "End of the Beginning", "93 Million Miles", and "The Struggle". 93 million miles is the average distance from Earth to the Sun.
