“We went to war and fought for what we believed in, and we refused to give in or give up until they addressed our concerns.  One day, they finally addressed our concerns and we were able to make peace and move forward.  But it was a long and sometimes vicious, brutal, and bloody battle.  It occupied every waking moment, and I carried a lot of it.  I tried my best to shield Shannon and Tomo from it so we could all focus on the creative aspects of making this record on our own.  We are very, very glad we took on that fight.  We never doubted it was the right decision, but we didn’t know how it would end up…. But we’re stronger as a result of it, and it will always be a part of our story.”

-Thiry Seconds to Mars’ Jared Leto explaining why their new album is titled This Is War.
