At The Drive In > Sparta + Mars Volta combined.

Since At The Drive In > Sparta, and combining the Mars Volta with anything automatically brings the value down, I'd say your inequality is pretty damn accurate.

I saw Sparta open for The Killers. They were amazing and I wholeheartedly support your statement, jew. In fact, I feel as if The Killers should have opened for Sparta, and the other band, Cartel, should have been set aflame and thrown into the mosh pit for the idiots to stomp out.

But, eh, we all have opinions.

The Killers should be opening for Linkin Park on tours of 200 capacity venues in podunk backwoods towns and never heard from again.

Oh hmm.
The mars volta peaked with deloused in the comatorium (a masterpiece) the rest of their work is mediocre at best amputecture is all over the place, no organization. When I purchased it I was pretty upset.

i saw sparta live shortly after the atdi breakup, was not impressed and haven't kept up with their music at all really.

the best part of atdi (cedric & omar) formed volta, which is good.

Yeah The Mars Volta is one of the best, most complex bands there is right now. They're just so fucking good it's mindblowing. Sparta is just some meh band, and At the Drive In is a very good band, but not as good as MV.

God, everything after De-Loused is absolute shit. Vocals can get extremely fucking annoying at times to.
And dear lord their live show SUCKED. A huge reason I don't even listen to them anymore in all honesty. It was pure fucking noise, absolutely horrid, I'm utterly amazed I hear people talk about how good their live show was, I can't think of one good thing to say about it.

Sorry.

Yeah I've seen videos of their live shows and they don't seem really good at all live. Their new album is great but yeah I agree that the singing can be really annoying at times. Aberinkula, the first song of the newest album is so annoying. But then again Ilyena, Goliath, Cavalettas, Ouroborous, and Conjugal Burns off that same album are incredible.

I've never really heard much of Sparta, so I can't really judge how good they are, but based on a video that was posted, the vocals sound really bleak.

Deloused was truly fucking fantastic though. One of my favorite albums. After that it was only sporadic excellence.

i heard that deloused was written about one of thier friends that had died in el paso, from sizophrenia, but in entirely metaphore.
or something along the lines....

deloused was thier best album if you ask me, the rest of the albums just don't have the same sound or feeling. imo
france the mute wasn't too bad.cygnus...vismund cygnus is a masterpiece.
