“I really feel like it represents where we’re at as a planet, as a people,” says Jared Leto, who formed the band with his brother, Shannon. “You keep waiting for crazy to be over. But there’s just one more day. And sometimes it’s easy to forget that life is full of promise and hope and beauty.”
The resulting 11-track album is heavy on hooks, with lead single “Stuck” — a dancehall banger that Lady Gaga would be proud of — making the top 10 of Billboard's Rock & Alternate Airplay and Alternative Airplay. The music has offered the Oscar- and Golden Globe-winning Leto something to concentrate on as the actors' strike drags on, which has silenced movie and TV shoots.
“Once we had finished every show that’s available to stream in every language — I think maybe it was around the “Tiger King” era, I’m not sure — but we decided to use that time to our advantage and get to work on a new album.” They got help on some tracks by writer-producers Monsters & Strangerz — on “Never Not Love You” and “Lost These Days” — Ed Sheeran and Snow Patrol's Johnny McDaid — on “World On Fire” — and Dan Reynold of Imagine Dragons on "Life Is Beautiful."
“I think we’ve all gotten a little more forgiving of people kind of stepping into different lanes, exploring different avenues,” he says. “Maybe it’s a return to a time from the past where, you know, musicians were dancers and dancers sang and singers acted." He adds: “It all comes from the same place.”
