The war that the title refers to is a legal dispute the band had with Virgin Records that lasted the two years it took them to make This Is War. The sound is a mix of synth pop, and prog rock histrionics. They remind me a bit of U2 at the pomp rockiest or Evermore (Truth of the World era). Not a bad thing, but also not something I listen to much now. Mainly because I lack the patience these days.
Where do they all belong? I think I bought this because it featured in a list of records to hear before you die, but this one is going in the selling off pile, now that I've heard it.
