I do, too.
And that was by far the lamest attempt on a prank this year.

Wasn't really a prank...just wanted to catch you attention....
This is how I see it....The Mars Volta to me are at their worst.....this is the formula i came up with....TMV+Scabdates=pure shit.... We had Tremulant...which by far is their best album.....then we have Deloused which was very rock and very gritty, some ambiant noise that could get a little annoying at times, but wasn't too much overboard, this is their second best release.....then we have Frances....which I thought was a little bit of a disappointment....we have way too much ambient noise between "movements" if you will....the noises don't even have a connection to the music if you ask me....it is just an annoyance and makes me have to fast forward through it.....this is there third best release....then we have scabdates.....Scabdates was the BIGGEST piece of shit ever.....I don't even know where to start....it's just pure shit to me.
Let's look at Sparta....we have Austere....which was just plain crappy overall and seemed to be quite a rush of an EP, I think it had a lot to do with their feelings being crushed and wanted to quickly put out a release just to show TMV that they still could create music without them....then we have Wiretap, which came out a couple of months later....this was a pretty cool album, but didn't seem to have much structure in it or much feeling....Porcelain was kick ass in my opinion....it had much more feelings and much more structure....now that Paul is gone because he is a little piece of shit (and I find his placement in TMV very comical....he was in my opinion the weakest link is ATD-I and also Sparta) and Keeley, the new guy, has come in we can only expect improvement.
Now I know you are probably going to disagree with me and tell me that the ambient noises are magical, artistic, or some shit like that, and inspire you to jerk off during the 20 minutes that it goes on, but like I said the is all my opinion.

I think the Mars Volta and Sparta are both pretty shitty now, after pretty decent starts.
TMV embrace just about every prog rock cliche now, despite saying they don't want to be pigeonholed as that kind of band, from the wanky solos to the wanky song names to the wanky improv that's not even improv. I like the idea of what they're trying to achieve, but they're just not good at it. The're trying to come up with something new, but just badly rehashing stuff from 30 years ago. And they don't even rock out anymore, they pretty much just stand around on stage and bust out some half assed salsa move every few minutes.
And Porcelain just sounded generic and lifeless. It had big anthemic riffs, but every song just about felt like the song before it, and it was pretty sappy, and they sounded old, like my parents were trying to rock out.

let's forget about an atd-i reunion (for now), and focus on the smashing pumpkins reunion! that one is really happening. billy has already written songs for the new SP album.
