"[This] wasn’t a record where we just stumbled upon everything. Certainly when you make mistakes and you fail, that’s the best, and I love to fail. … I don’t avoid failing because you learn from that, in a way that you could never learn from anything else. Failure is one of the greatest teachers. And we failed a lot on this record,” 30STM frontman Jared Leto told MTV News. “It’s an ambitious album. It’s an album that invited the world to sing and to record and to experiment. To confess. And it is a spiritual record in a way. It is of the spirit world rather than cerebral or just purely guttural. It talks about faith and fighting for what you believe in and the idea of community. … It was an opportunity for us to embrace the community around 30 Seconds to Mars and really to create the record that we’ve always dreamed of."
