TMV, yeah, first EP and de-loused showed promise, but ultimately, they're just a jam band.

Sure, they're stuff isn't as experimental or as groundbreaking as ATDI, but as far as just being a solid rock band - they do it well. Besides, one of the highlights for me of ATDI was their drummer, and he's in Sparta now. Mars Volta? Well, they are what they are - you either love 'em or hate 'em. I can respect that.

I remember it pretty much made everyone shit their pants who hadn't heard anything like it before. Cosmonaut is probably my favorite track on it. The Mars Volta in my opinion haven't done anything interesting since De-Loused. I've really tried to like their other stuff, but I can't see it as anything other than self-indulgent noodling. I know there is more to it than that, but it doesn't do anything for me. Sparta on the other hand has never done anything interesting but can at least write a decent song. I have 3 or 4 of their songs on my iPod, while I have 3 ATDI albums and exactly 0 Mars Volta. Obviously ATDI is probably the peak of what any of these guys will do. What a fantastic album this was.

Non-zero possibility is a top ten in my books. I think it's great when, to this day, MTV will use a sound clip of one of their songs, and 90 percent of the people watching have no idea that they caught a glimpse of musical gold, that they might never hear.

In fact, I think I'll throw 'er on right now before my wife gets home (too screamy for her tastes (and to be fair, Cedric Bixler does sound like he really needs a hug on this album)). Ditto Chuck on the Mars Volta lukewarmness. I like 'em a lot... sorta. But ATDI is waaaaaay better.

Love The Mars Volta. I was supposed to see At the Drive in on 4/20, but they broke up a couple weeks before the show. My favorite song off Relationship of the Command is Invalid Litter Dept. I was in a band once and we played the breakdown from that song in the middle of one of our originals. It actually came out really cool. The first Sparta album wasn't bad. Love At the Drive in.
