30 Seconds to Mudvayne

A couple new compact discs that i've been enjoying are "This Is War" by 30 Seconds To Mars and "Mudvayne" (self-titled?) by Mudvayne.

This is War Album Cover:


Jared Leto is the lead singer and his brother Shannon Leto is the drummer.  I think Jared is definitely one of the best people to successfully pull off being a famous actor and rock star.  This came out on 12/8/09.

Mudvayne Album Cover:


Not really sure why this album is self titled since it's their fifth release but A7X just did this so maybe it's the cool new thing to do?  regardless, I know most of y'all don't like metal or stuff this heavy but I wanted to mention it because the artwork and physical presentation of the album.  The album is completely white unless exposed under a black-light.  I know it's not the first time for something like this to be marketed but it's cool and I like it!  Way to be original and position yourself to sell a physical product in an era of digital music :).  It's not officially released but those who pre-ordered the album got a digital download link for the album on 12/7/09.
