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.

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 a small agricultural society leading the European Union. Its main values are democracy, justice and freedom of all men. Its gifts to mankind are arts and religion, and is renowned for their great army. SPARTAAAAAAAAAA!!!, on the other hand, (note the difference in number of AAAAAAAs) is a perpetual bloodbath notorious for their blood-red beaches, severed body parts strewn across the ground, 6 women being raped simotanously, and their hand in their pants. Residents of the city spend their free time skinny-dipping in hot tubs filled with blood, larynges, ears, eyeballs, blood, small intestines, large intestines, large intestines stuffed inside small intestines, and, to the horror of many blood. If you go to SPARTAAAAAAAAAA!!!, be sure to bring a large army, your balls, and several thousand gallons of moonshine.

While still an okay band, one that can not compare to the magic of at the drive-in or the mars volta.

an additive to the first definition... 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.

"hey, i'm holding a pro-gay rights benefit show in sparta this weekend. wanna come?" "no way man, fuck you, you fucking faggot. you should go home and kill yourself for being gay. you have no rights"
