30 Seconds To Mars fans have been trading copies of new album 'This Is War' as people try to get a version of the record that has their mug on the cover. Does frontman Jared Leto approve? Absolutely.

"We saw someone last night who, someone had found their face in France and mailed it to them and they lived in Chicago. We've seen those kind of stories all over the country. There's a scavenger hunt aspect, a collectors' aspect to it."

Meanwhile, in other news the band have been criticized by influential US blogger Bob Lefsetz after 'This Is War' sold 133,297 copies in the first four weeks of sale. He said the following on the subject:

"Wow, Jared Leto should have stuck to his guns, he should have left EMI and gone to a real record label.

It took this band too long to make a new record. The audience forgets you. And, the label didn't help. A disaster."
