Claude says:The Leto brothers launched this Los Angeles band in 1998, eventually breaking big with their second album A Beautiful Lie in 2005, though their earlier self-titled debut went largely under the radar. This release bundles both records — the alt-rock intensity and philosophical bent that would become their signature are already there, just less polished than what came later. You grabbed "From Yesterday" and "The Kill" in mid-2012, a quick pass that never circled back.
