Maybe This Is War is an allusion to the trouble that 30 Seconds to Mars has had with label Virgin Records, as opposed to a concept record centered around the idea of interplanetary warfare, like you might have hoped. At any rate, 30 Seconds to Mars appears to be bringing out the big guns for the band's third studio album; beatsmith and MC Kanye West worked with the band on album track "Hurricane," which must be one of the most awkward musical collaborations ever. That alone is worth doing sometime in a foxhole for This Is War.
