There are only 15 member on this board and you find a way of copying my nickname? I AM THE ORIGINAL HAHAHAHA no that's ok, you need someone to look up to... I think Sparta will make it much further than Mars Volta cause they have that ATDI originality.

if any of the 2 bands are continuing where atdi left off its Sparta. I'm loving both bands right now but could care less how far they make it as long as they both keep making music.

Why are you guys saying Sparta? They are great and all but The Mars Volta is so much sicker! They are a lot more creative and complex than Sparta. Just wait untill you guys hear the rest of their songs...you'll change your minds. ;D

I THINK IN/CASINO/OUT IS THE BEST ALBUM. POWERFUL AND PASSIONATE. BEST SONG WOULD HAVE TO BE TRANSATLANTIC FOE....

I'm pretty new to the band... So far my favorite album is in/casino/out. I haven't listhened to them enough to get a feel for all the albums though.
Anyone know where I can find songs from either Mars Volta or Sparta? I checked at cdnow and the Sparta album isn't out yet it says.

my mars volta vs. sparta opinion:
joe had the best point- sparta is on dreamworks records. period. the mars volta is on gsl but wouldve been on grand royal had they not gone bankrupt, but nevertheless, sparta is on dreamworks. when ATDI left off, im of the opinion that they had the capibility to sign to pretty much whatever label they wanted. but whatever. they didnt, and now theyre gone. but don't forget. sparta is on dreamworks. that says it right there. if either has the potential to make it "big" its gonna be sparta. but the mars volta is better music. but you don't have to take MY word for it.
oh, and having an old bands origionality, is not origional or fame provoking. at least i think. tmv IS origional. not to demean or anything.
sparts still kicks asss!

Personally, I don't really care who makes or not because there's only one band than them and that's ATDI, you guys should stop trying to be fans of Sparta and Mars Volta to try and make it better, but just deal with what you have.

whats all this, mars volta vs sparta...no competition...there people...mars volta dont sound as regurgitated as sparta...cant you sense the orignaility that mars volta have...cedric and omar broke away from huge time success and conformity to form really original music...music that makes you think...
but hey...cant really say anything yet till I see Sparta who are coming to Oz in July...it will be pretty interesting....

ahemmm... st cause movement:
"you guys should stop trying to be fans of Sparta and Mars Volta to try and make it better" i guess that was reguarding the atdi breakup. -not the case my friend. just diggin the tunes.
"but just deal with what you have. " -exactly.
and this whole tmv vs. sparta thing. its just conversation yall. doesn't reflect my beliefs whats so ever. personally, i dont give a flying phuck who does doesn't "make it", as long as they both keep making good music. the end

thats true, why compare? they were once ATD-I(personally far better than either), i like them(sparta and tmv) it's just as a whole they were phucking perfect. all the elements were in place. now that they have split, i sense a loss of something in their work. it's still good though, but i'm just missing atd-i. that's what it all boils down to, they shouldn't of broken up. pauls groove thru bass, jim and omars six string anarchy, tony's fuk'n bad ass drumming to cedrixs poetic frenzy. this is what i digged about this band. theres no other band like them. i've heard comparisons, i've heard band compared, not even phucking close. total originality.
THESE BANDS SHOULD PHUCKING RE-UNITE
rage against the machine
at the drive-in
soundgarden
helmet
sepultura( reunite with max cavalera)
hum
the misfits (w/glenn danzig...not the misfits w/out him)
........add to the list if you want

ive yet to see fans in here ?
whats this mess about choosing sides?
Sparta+Defacto+TheMarsVolta = ATDI
Atdi is Atdi
as much as i wish theyd bring it back together for another run, its not gonna happen but theyll never be as good as they were together.
Best Songs... All of em' (minus most of Acro Tenement... BUT EVEN THEN!)
Nuff sed.

i don't know bout that , acrobatic tenement was a pretty raw album(stars light, initiation, skips on the record, schaffino, ticklish,etc....)
yeah it sounded s.h.i.t.t.y. because atd-i paid $600.00 to make that s.h.i.t. i thought the same s.h.i.t. when i first heard it , but the rawness and awesome texan poetry changed my mind otherwise. ACROBATIC TENEMENT was one of the many albums that defined atd-i 's original sound. i gotta say i digged it....actually , i dig and own all atd-i albums. i'm not saying i'm obsessed or anything, but when i dig the art, i appreciate all the paintings.

actually, acrobatic tenement was awsome. Sometimes it take a cheap recording to capture a bands essence, and i think thats what acro was about. But i like the BBC version of initiation better, the one on the invalid litter dept. single.
Best AtdI song: transatlantic foe, 198d
oh yeah, and did anyone else catch the blatant ripoff of the riff of invalid litter dept. on austere on the 2nd track? Its even in the same key, so i guess they weren't trying to hide it. Really fuking original if you ask me. Seems like sparta is just cashing in on how popular emo is these days. i choose marsvolta, but thats only cause they remind me more of atdi, which is still my favoite band. mars volta will definitely go farther. check out the billboard charts from a few weeks ago, tremulant was a spot above austere. that really says it all.

whats up with the dissage of sparta, yo?? go check em out live, dude. they are way different than the austere ep. much louder and whatnot. and their full length comes out in august. lets all wait till they have more than four songs out on the market before we REALLY make an opinion and all. ill be willing to bet that by the time both bands have an lp out, our musical opinions will shift a little about each band. just a guess tho
billboards crap. sparta's on dreamworks. that really says it all. a) dreamworks is, obviously, a big contender in the music record label shiznit, and b) realize the fact that sparta was willing to sign with a major record label. in a sense, meaning they are somwhat willing to go mainstream. while tmv is on gsl, obviously staying within theyre "lets not tell the whole world we're making music and just do it for fun" mentality. if both are willing to "go farther," itll be sparta. just cause of their source of marketing and all. and still, if only one wants to go farther, itll still be sparta. solely because of dreamworks. i doubt if we'll ever see tmv sign to virgin. just cause one music is better, doesn't mean they will become more popular. take a look at mainstream music as it sits. 90% is CRAP. nuff said

when i said ACROBATIC TENEMENT was s.h.i.t.t.y.
s.h.i.t.t.y. = (poor sound quality)(poor production)
not the sole album itself...just getting things out in the clear

I just started listening to atdi about 2 months ago.. I have almost listened to nothing else since.. Im kinda pissed that they broke up before i had a chance to see them live but I still absolutely love their music like no other band and I have been listening to music my whole life (but who hasnt). Anyway I cant seem to get into either sparta or tmv so like the gent posted earlier i am not even gonna bother Trying to like something just to keep the atdi "spark" alive. I will just continue to listen to atdi and play their stuff maybe make a tribute band (nahh thats lame). oh my favorite song is:
For Now... We Toast
Favorite cd:
Acrobatic Tenament

for all the referees that chimed in on the tmv, sparta, atdi shiznit. i don't think anyone (at least not me) was trying to campare their music quality in any sense. all i was arguing was wether Sparta, or The Mars Volta would be the next thing heard on the radio. not which one's album i was gonna buy next. and i don't think anyone was even trying to put them in any category with ATDI. so its all right. we are all friends here. and no one is gonna abandon any of the bands being talked about on this thread. nuff fuking sed.
but another point to add to MY argument:
sparta: touring with weezer and dashboard confessional.
tmv: toured with les saavy fav and the apes.
NUFF FUUCKING SAID!
