Last week, Thirty Seconds to Mars announced that they are going back on tour with MUSE beginning in May. Back in August, the band released a video teases new music coming out this year. There's no date for an album released, but knowing that they will be on tour from May to September shows that there is a good chance of it being released in the first half of 2017. If not, at least we'll probably get some sneak peeks at their songs during the tour.

Since lead singer Jared Leto's take of the classic villain The Joker in the terrible "Suicide Squad" is still fresh in our minds, let's take a look at their best songs released in their first four studio albums.

10. "R-Evolve"

What starts off as a slower song, "R-Evolve" has some powerful lyrics and ends on you wanting to scream out "The evolution is coming/The Revolution has begun" along with Jared.

9. "A Beautiful Lie"

The title track from Thirty Second to Mars' second album is a haunting song about letting go of the past. The message is universal and the piano rift at the beginning, middle, and end has an eerie tune that sticks with you. Also, the music video to "A Beautiful Lie," which focuses on global warming and has great shots of the band playing in the glaciers, is the first instance of Thirty Seconds to Mars as a threesome. Bassist Matt Wachter just left to join "Angels and Airwaves."

8. "Hurricane"

"Hurricane" has a great mix of piano and synthesizer. And the lyrics are catchy and impressionable. Whether I'm listening to the original, the version with Kanye West, or the acoustic version, "Hurricane" is a good song that sticks with me. And the video is one of the first representations of mini movies that Thirty Seconds to Mars shoot. This started a trend of mini, 20-minute videos directed by frontman Jared Leto under the pseudonym, Bartholomew Cubbins.

7. "Savior"

I think this is one of Thirty Seconds to Mars' most underrated gems. It's at the height of their Emo days, singing about death and life and life after death. It's some of favorite Jared Leto screamo from their second album.

6. "City of Angels"

Unfortunately, this is the only song off the album "Love, Lust, Faith, and Dreams" that made the cut. Now, I've never even been to Los Angeles. But, the theme of chasing our dreams is universal and applies to all of us (that's why we all ate up "La La Land"). The lyrics are vivid and the music includes the synthesizer, a pounding of the drums, and Leto yelling "I am home" that makes you want to pack your bags and move there.

5. "This is War"

The title track off their third studio album, "This is War" includes a wonderful guitar melody and infectious lyrics about fighting for the greatness in the world until the day you die that is reminiscent of Dylan Thomas' poem "Do Not Go Gentle Into the Good Night."

4. "From Yesterday"

This is the song that got me into Thirty Seconds to Mars in the first place. One of their biggest hits that landed them into mainstream music, "From Yesterday" is a song that moves between beautiful ballad to headbanging jam. The music video, a tribute to the film "The Last Emperor," is recognized as the first video completely shot in the Republic of China.

3. "Closer to the Edge"

I can still picture the video to this song. Footage of the band's worldwide Into the Wild tour with shots of the stage, the fans, and what went on behind the stage. Sometimes I feel that I can't listen to this song sitting down. It makes me want to get up to the highest place available (if that's the roof, then fine) and scream the lyrics out on the world. It makes me want to live my life, as the lyrics suggest. Also, I have to say that I love Jared Leto's Mohawk that he sported on tour.

2. "The Kill"

I think that many people would include this as the band's top song. It's their first hit and the song that fans yell at Jared to play when he asks for requests at concerts. It's a textbook emo song. But, it's also about confronting your demons and fears. The song is something to blast in the car and yell the lyrics, not sing. The video for this scared me as a kid until I realized it was a homage to Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining."

1. "Kings and Queens"

The big reoccurring theme in their third album "This is War" is togetherness. What I mean by that is the 1000 people they brought into the studio to record background notes. And "Kings and Queens" is the best example of this chorus beaming behind Jared Leto to join in a song about humanity and possibility. Leto wrote half the song in Africa before taking a flight back to America where he finished the lyrics and music. This song literally traveled around the world to be made. And the chorus behind the band is not just a few people in a studio. This is the whole world singing. Together.

I personally cannot wait to hear some new music from Thirty Seconds to Mars. They've been quiet for too long. Hopefully it comes sooner rather than later.
