Thirty Seconds to Mars took a break from touring in 2012 and spent most of the year recording their fourth album , entitled '' Love , Lust , Faith and Dreams '' . The album was produced by Jared Leto with previous collaborator Steve Lillywhite . Leto said that the band took a new direction with '' Love , Lust , Faith and Dreams '' . He explained that the album " is more than an evolution , it 's a brand new beginning . Creatively , we 've gone to an entirely new place , which is exciting , unexpected , and incredibly inspiring . " In September 2012 , '' Artifact '' , a documentary about the band 's legal battle against the record label EMI and the making of '' This Is War '' , premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and won the People 's Choice Documentary Award
