I saw TMV a few years ago in NY and I actually left before it was over. It was these 18 minutes songs with these self-indulgent guitar solos that went on forever. I prefer Sparta, although agree that their last effort was shaky at best. However, Jim Ward has an ep coming out - or is out...?
*Note I rarely leave a concert before the lights come on.

TheBlueOne FTW
Even as much as I loved ATDI, when the split up into their sects, it just wasn't the same. Sparta is the lame, uninventive jock rock half of ATDI. Yawnable at best.

I saw ATDI years ago and that singer wrapped himself in duct tape from head to toe like a mummy then stage dived into the drum kit all while singing the same song. Classic Rock Show!

I want ATDI back. I appreciate the Mars, but the ATDI killed it.

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.
