Sparta is WAY better. Somewhere after their first album TMV seemed to completely disappear up their own collective arse...leading me to christen them The Arse Volta. Shame cos they could have been amazing...now they are just annoying....

Sparta's last album Threes was horrifyingly bad if you ask me. There first two works were fantastic.
Mars Volta's only good album was their original. Since then it's been a shitfest.. but I think I could listen to Threes over Bedlam Goliath.

ATDI was better than both

Back in the day there was a band called "At the drive in" which splintered in to two bands Mars Volta and Sparta.

Sparta's first album was way better than anything I've heard from TMV.

Sparta is so flat, Mars Volta is mostly too masturbatory, ATDI was the perfect mix between the two. Lord knows how much I miss them.

TMV > Sparta. I didn't like ATDI either, but I don't think they're bad at all. Sparta makes me think of AFI.

It's all a little too "trying to be strange" these days. For some bands, weird really comes out without looking contrived, TMV are not one of those. Albeit, I did enjoy moments of them. I suppose they could be a guilty pleasure.
