The more accessible half of At the Drive In. Sparta made two tremendous albums in the same time it took The Mars Volta to put out 15 minutes of listenable material surrounded by 60 minutes of pretentious, prog-rock, Zeppelin rip-off, utterly boring nonsense.
I have listened to all three CD's, and seen both of these bands live, and conclude that Sparta is far superior.

"Man, I got totaly lost listening to the new Sparta record last night with my girlfriend."
"Really, I just listened to the Mars Volta album and fingered my anus 'till the sun came up!"

3/5 of ex-band At The Drive-In, took a more direct, post-hardcore approach to the music compared to their counterparts The Mars Volta, who do weird prog-shit and only have fans cos they're too scared to admit that they're listening to them simply to be cool.
Generally more coherent music that is pretty listenable.

sparta is also a town where to be anything less than a rich, white, drugged up, gay-bashing, mindless, racist moron is completely unacceptable.
if you dont fit this criteria, you will be shunned and hated for it.

The greatest cry ever shouted in the history of the universe, only to be shouted directly before delivering a kick to the sternum over a large, seemingly endless pit that has no logical reason for being there but looks really, really, awesome.

A highly explosive grade of whoopass. Known to take foes utterly by surprise. So overpowering in its pwnage that it must be screamed every time it is said, preferably while kicking someone into a well, over a cliff or over any kind of precipice.
"Madness? This...IS SPARTA!!"
"Fool, I have come here to bring the SPARTA!! You don't want none of this!"
"SPARTA!!" *any words said after this point are drowned out by the mighty din of an ownage of epic proportions*
