After the break up of At The Drive-In, The Mars Volta and Sparta were formed. The Mars Volta showed the more arty, prog rock side of ATDI were as Sparta were just a straight forward catchy rock band. When 'Wiretap Scars' came out I got myself an advance copy. It was a very catchy record and showed that Jim Ward really did know how to make good songs! ;D Although they were not mind blowing they still made an effect on you. Then when 'Porcelain' came along I was very disappointed, although each song had catchy intros each song just sounded too the same. It was a real let down! Looks like we know who was the real brains behind ATDI!

It was opposite for me on the Sparta albums. Porcelain shows the good side of Sparta and how they have potiential....while The Mars Volta is great, the more 'crazy' side of ATD-I. I think both are good, Sparta needs some work but I'd definitaly see them in concert. The Mars Volta hands down rocks.

i still have to listen to porcelain but i was very disappointed with wiretap scars although it some class tunes on it...
TMV on the other hand is up in my top 5 bands so i agree omar and cedric were the brains behind ATDI

sparta is not really the best band, cedric and omar, where the talent of atdi, The Mars Volta is a really good live band, but when i saw sparta live its like another rock punk group like alkaline trio
