i actually saw jim as the master mind behind atd-i but i dont see anything making sparta similar to atd-i. why do i always see people saying "atd-i lives, in sparta" ?

well, ATD-I "did" live in sparta for the 1st albums. Jim and the back up gang loved playing "ATD-I" music, ceddy and omar were bored to death of it. I personally loved the music from ATD-I. thats what really caught my attention. so the 1st couple sparta albums had an ATD-I tinge to the songs, which isn't bad @ all. TMV totally changed their direction, hence having sparta sounding more like their old crew. but i think sparta has evolved, especially with "3's". so after each album, sparta is searching for that "sparta" sound............i do miss ATD-I

i don't catch any sound of atd-i even in sparta's early work. but don't worry, atd-i, the smashing pumpkins, q and not u, and the toadies are all going to reunite and throw a spontaneous concert in my backyard. i'll be sure to send you all invitations.

sparta dont remind me personally of anything about ATDI at all.
i just dont even compare
but i am completely biased because for me no band even comes close to ATDI (minus TMV, but yeah)

I think that TMV took a piece of ATD-I (the more chaotic jangly part) and Sparta took a part as well, the more structure portion. With their powers combined you would get atdi (almost like captain planet....however, I do agree with EVY, Sparta is definately my favorite at the moment...TMV used to be back when Trem and Deloused were new and fresh, but their newer shit is quite disappointing....I think Omar has too much control and is sacraficing good music for abstract music....I really enjoy everything Sparta has done thus far...
My 2 cents

i completely agree with all that stuff you just said DD, minus the "Sparta is definately my favorite at the moment" bit and the "I really enjoy everything Sparta has done thus far".
but yeah, on the fuckin ball hombre

I'm sorry, every band that breaks up tends to take a piece (small or whatnot) of their previous band. it is necessary in order for that band to create or evolve their sound. I'm not saying Sparta was (ATD-I Jr.) I'm just saying certain vocals, certain guitar structures/techniques, effects were evidently
similar to some atd-i songs. for example, I've heard a certain board member state that the TMV jam "Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt" had ATD-I qualities to it. so i am merely saying TMV and Sparta have some ATD-I-esque songs on their albums, more Sparta than TMV. and album after album they 'll disappear....it's like when a decade changes, for example: on Jan. 1st 1980 there was still shades of 1970's (fashion, lingo, music style, hairstyles, etc) until years later and the 80's defined itself.......same with TMV and Sparta...............................AM I RAMBLING?
nice analogy huh?

i havent even listened to 3's yet. ive kinda gone off sparta more and more over time. but i still like them. i still go with the point that there are no comparisons between atd-i and sparta. i agree when you say that tmv and sparta both took a piece with them but i think you have to look real hard to find any "atd-i" in both of these bands. totally different to atd-i if you ask me.
