Yet another arena rock anthem, 'Closer to the Edge' features a 'Joshua Tree'-era U2 vibe in the intro and a sense of urgency to Jared Leto's croon. One can only assume he is speaking to a jilted ex, with lyrics like "I'm not saying I'm sorry / One day maybe we'll meet again," before a crowd of shouting fans accompany him for a chorus of, "No, No, No, No!"
Since the release of 'This Is War' last December, 30STM have been on the road touring the world in support of the release, visiting 89 cities in 27 countries where they have played in front of over 1.3 million ecstatic fans. The first two singles from the album were mainstays on the US radio charts, causing there to be high expectations for 'Closer to the Edge.' You can check it out for yourself on AOL Radio's Top Alternative station.
