While The Mars Volta are perfectly good and entirely justified, being held in such high regard, Sparta tends to get the "red-headed stepchild" treatment.</p> <p>Personally speaking, I think that's kinda unfair. While Sparta doesn't exactly have the innovative elements of The Mars Volta, their music is pretty damn good.</p> <p>So anyway, to make a long post even longer...anyone else think Sparta gets a little too little regard because they aren't quite as flamboyant as <span>TMV</span>? Just asking.</p> Sun, 01 Apr 2007 23:04:58 GMT http://mog.com/nikitam/blog/58589 nikitam
