Space rock?
After reading some of the reviews, seems to be enough evidence for the inclusion of Space rock in the Genres: "Influenced by artists as diverse as Pink Floyd [...] self-titled debut is a highly ambitious space-themed concept album [...] Hollywood star Jared Leto's soaring vocals and sci-fi lyrics" - allmusic; "actor Jared Leto’s space-metal band, 30 Seconds to Mars, isn’t just a half-assed vanity project [...] eponymous debut that sounds like Tool on the dark side of the moon [...] 30STM manage a high-minded space opera of epic scope befitting prog-rock prototypes Rush" - Blender; "Something that sounds straight from space itself [...] 30 seconds has been hailed as the next Pink Floyd and has been compared to David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust [...] an interesting fusion of nu-metal, techno, new wave, synthetics, and hints of popish undertone." - D1 Music; "He has written all the songs and music and has also taken care of the Synthesizer, Bass, Guitar, Programming, and Vocals on the album [...] Musically 30 seconds to Mars has something new to add to the world with their space influenced modern rock [...]The progressive "Edge of the world" is another good example." - Melodic.net; "Leto's delivery of his earnest, sci-fi-tinged lyrics gets monotonous over the course of the album" - Metacritic/Q review

In my opinion, a lot to back the inclusion of the genre (amongst others) with other reviews also comparing the album to Tool, Pink Floyd, etc. as well as the mention of Progressive rock/metal. HrZ (talk) 16:27, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with you. Every track on this album is an example of space rock.--Paint Old Street Black (talk) 15:16, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Maynard James Keenan
I've been wondering this for a while, what is the source that states Maynard provided background vocals on Fallen? I have a copy of the album and the only mention of Maynard in the linear notes is in the thank you section. =\ HrZ (talk) 14:15, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

AllMusic review
I'm working on the article and I was looking for professional review sources. I found out that AllMusic published a review of this album at the time of its release. The review was written by Jason D. Taylor, who gave the album a rating of 4.5/5 stars. Sadly, I didn't find a direct archive web page to the AllMusic site, but I found something here, here, and here. Then, in 2005, the review disappeared as the archives of Metacritic prove, and they changed its rating from 4.5 to 2. Therefore, according to WP:ALBUM/SOURCES, this rating could not be used on Wikipedia. Around 2012, a text review was added, written by Jon O'Brien. The rating didn't change, but the review gives a positive impression. Now, it doesn't seem that the current review with its rating meets WP:ALBUM/SOURCES. I think we could use the first review with its rating or the current review with a 'positive' or 'favorable' rating. Do you have any suggestion? Thanks for any advice.--Earthh (talk) 15:00, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Progressive rock or progressive metal?
The two genres are both well sourced. I first added prog rock, since prog metal is one of its subgenres, but an IP is replacing it with prog metal. Could someone help me to solve this situation? Thanks, --Earthh (talk) 08:08, 9 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Why not just list them both if they are well sourced then? There's nothing prohibiting the use of both the parent genre and subgenre in infoboxes, after all. 97.83.67.162 (talk) 12:57, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
