Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams (stylized as LOVE LUST FAITH + DREAMS) is the fourth studio album by American rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars, released through Virgin Records in the Netherlands on May 17, 2013,[1] in the UK on May 20 and in the US on May 21.[2] It was their first album in four years, following This Is War (2009), as well as their last album released through Virgin.

The record carries the concept album format of This Is War and expands the spectrum to revolve around the themes after which it is named. Its sound follows the experimental direction found on some of the band`s previous work, incorporating elements of art rock and electronic music. The album was promoted with three singles, `Up in the Air`, `Do or Die`, and `City of Angels`, two of which managed to chart within the top ten on the US Alternative Songs chart.

Upon release, the album was well received by critics, who called it a return to form for the band. It was the group`s second consecutive nomination for the Echo Music Prize. The album debuted at number 6 on the Billboard 200, becoming the band`s first top ten album on the chart, and reached the top ten in more than fifteen countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Germany.

Background and recording
In 2009, Thirty Seconds to Mars released their third studio album This Is War. The album saw a new direction taken by the band, employing darker lyrical themes, a louder sound and `much more electronic and experimental, with lots of vintage synths.`[3][4] This Is War has since sold over four million albums and one million singles solicited from the album worldwide, making the album the band`s most commercially successful so far. The tour that followed, the Into the Wild Tour, Hurricane Tour and Closer to the Edge Tour, spanned two years and broke the Guinness World Record for the `Longest Concert Tour by a Rock Band`, playing a total of 309 shows.[5]

To follow up This Is War, the band began to work on their fourth studio album immediately after the conclusion of the Closer to the Edge Tour. Frontman Jared Leto wanted `an album that has ebb and flow and content and structure.`, a sharp contrast to the band`s previous work.[6] Leto began writing for the album in December 2011, and by the time the band started the recording sessions for Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams in April 2012, he had amassed a total of 50 songs.[7]

On April 23, 2012, Rolling Stone released an article revealing that Thirty Seconds to Mars was currently in the studio recording a fourth LP. According to the article, the band previewed some of the new material in their April 27 VyRT stream, including a song called `Witness`. It also stated that they were interested in working with other artists for the album. The band`s official Twitter account confirmed this news. On April 25, 2012 MTV Buzzworthy confirmed that they are working with famed record producer Steve Lillywhite, who had previously worked with U2, Peter Gabriel, and The Killers, among others.[8]

The recording sessions for Love, Lust, Faith + Dreams took place from April to December 2012, at the Laboratory in Los Angeles, U.S.A.[9] In September 2012, `The Summit`, an event where fans are invited to contribute chorus vocals to tracks on the album and previously held to record choral vocals for This Is War in 2009, was held. Unlike This Is War, where an entire audience-sized crowd took part in the recording, the summit that took place for the recording of Love, Lust Faith and Dreams was more stripped-down and organic, with only 20 to 25 people contributing vocals to the record.[10]
