Artwork
After the September 11, 2001 attacks, 30 Seconds to Mars was notified by the label that all artwork in production for the album was discontinued due of the graphic content of the image. Included were 10,000 posters that had an image of a fighter jet exploding in mid-air with the pilot ejecting safely from the plane. 30 Seconds to Mars fully agreed the images were inappropriate at that time and said that they never saw the artwork as a violent image. On July 29, 2002, 30 Seconds to Mars announced the new cover for the album.
