I lean towards 'as good as'. I sadly never saw ATDI live but having seen TMV 3 times live now I think they're probably the most amazing live band around that I've seen. (The Flaming Lips are also amazing but in a different way) And the record is justy endlessly listenable...

...but, cokes, aren't you the one who likes sparta more than tmv...and in my opinion, the mars volta is at least as good as...but we'll see are time gones on who will be better...at this rate, tmv has tons of potential (to be the best ever)...

yes, i did say i liked sparta better than the the mars volta. but i also said that it might change once they put out and album becuase at that point the only thing they had recorded was Tremulant and a bunch of poor quality live tracks. now, i like TMV better because their new album is a masterpiece.

are you sure they said that? and the reason they split up was because omar and cedric were bored with playing the same music over and over again.

the mars volta is better than atd-i in the sense that omar and cedric surpassingly grew musically. sparta is nowhere NEAR as talented as the mars volta. sparta has basic melodies. (in my opinion.) it's OK but not amazing or original.

did you know that omar and cedric say that they hate ATD-I and that the reason ATD-I split up was because of the quality of sparta? i cannot understand that... They do always make negative comments abotu ATDI in interviews, saying their music was too basic and simplistic and rip-offs of Fugazi and Drive Like Jehu etc etc (somethign I guess we'd all disagree with them on and also a pretty annoyign thing for htem to say). However that Sparta thing is total bollocks, how could they split up over a band that didn't even exist at that point? They split up cause their personal relationships were deteriorating and the Sparta guys wanted to make a Sparta-like album and Cedric and Omar wanted to make a TMV-like record. It's true though that Omar and Cedric admitted they don't like Sparta's music. David W (I don't blame them  ) |

Sparta doesnt even compare to TMV. and i'd have to say that atd-i isnt that much better then tmv.

why does everyone hate on Sparta? Wiretap Scars is an excellent album. Every song is good (except for Endocryne Harmonic.. song sucks). Sparta is better than a lot of music out there right now.. and who cares that it sounds too much like emo-core or crap like that? Spartas sound is very different from other bands. Show your love! Or atleast pay some homage, 3 of them were in the greatest band of all-time.

No way.. ATD-I was way better in my opinion. The Mars Volta is sorta turning out to be lame as time goes on, they seem to think they are Led Zeppelin or something. De-Loused was a big dissapointment, and a major downgrade from Tremulant.
