I miss At the drive-in

[ATDI16]

Yeah i wish i could see them live. That the only band i wish i saw live

[Fuckmaxbemis]

Amazing as a band they were, this topic isn;t neccessary.

[3mpire]

I wish I caught them live too.

[waituphere]

great band...but what became of that band was even better. sparta and especially the mars volta sre amazing

You lose.

they we're an amazing band, but the two bands that spawned from ATDI are nothing special.

[summer skin]

Deloused is a great album, anything after that I never listen to.

Sparta are terrible though.

And neither album comes close to the greatness that is Acrobatic Tenement.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

This guy makes a thread every other day. If it was possible, he'd have more threads than post count

I enjoy Deloused, and i have the first two Sparta albums. i don't listen to them much. they are mediocre in my opinion.

Acrobatic Tenement is amazing. my personal favorite is In Casino Out.

Also great...Did you ever hear El Gran Orgo? It's like pop-punk, it's strange but great.

Yeah. it sounds like it would be something that would have come out before Acrobatic Tenement. it's good. i was listening to it yesterday.

[Jumpoff]

I love In Casino Out. However, I do like Volta more overall than ATDI (seems like I'm one of the few who actually liked Amputechture/Frances the Mute a lot...)

Yeah it's weird. "Alfaro Vive, Carajo!" is really good too, came out before those two, and "Hell Paso" sounds like a punk album. All their albums are great though, one of the strongest discographies a band could have. They're the reason I got into music.

So you're the guy that bought those albums!

i haven't been able to find those two. i've listened to them though, and really like them. they do have one of the most solid discographies. every album is a classic.

[summer skin]

If people are cool with it I could upload both of those and some b-sides since they are both out of print...

these are all on this station is non operational. pretty easy to find, and, if they still sell the CD some where, then it's still in print, just saying.

[summer skin]

thanks man!
No problem.

I know, I just upped the folder that they were in so I just left them in there.

[Fuckmaxbemis]

whatever floats your boat dude, I have no problem.

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

Acrobatic Tenement is one of the best albums ever.

As to what came of the band, De-Loused is amazing and there are a few Sparta songs that are listenable.

[summer skin]

whatever floats your boat dude, I have no problem.
As long as people are exposed to old at the drive-in I'm happy.

also I love my new avatar.

[LendMeYourBrain]

I just realized I need their first 3 eps.

[LV03]

finally a thread about a good band

[x togepi x]

I wouldn't be playing music if they didn't exist.

[AEast317]

there is a halloween show here and a local band is playing an entire ATDI set, and of course dressing up as them.

[mybreakingpoint]

Yeah i wish i could see them live. That the only band i wish i saw live

I agree.

Them & Refused. Really wish I could've seen Refused as well.

[myantiyou]

And neither album comes close to the greatness that is Acrobatic Tenement.

:nod:

[summer skin]

:nod:
It's sad that most people only know them for "one armed scissor"

[LendMeYourBrain]

dood cuz Paramore covers it.

[Jumpoff]

dood cuz Paramore covers it.

I'd never think of Paramore as ATDI fans :-|

[summer skin]

Aren't they the band with a parrot as their lead singer?

[LendMeYourBrain]

my last comment was pure sarcasm.

Yish, well I dont think the other person understood. it

[summer skin]

Well he likes ampubetechture so he's probably on dope.

[Jumpoff]

Yish, well I dont think the other person understood. it

Wow. I had no idea.

(In case you didn't notice, I was saying that I never thought of PARAMORE as ATDI fans since they did cover the song. No idea what you mean by I missed your sarcasm on that.)

Well he likes ampubetechture so he's probably on dope.

[summer skin]

Yep, definitely dope.

[x togepi x]

i'm edge and i like amputechture oh god i don't exist

[waituphere]

You lose.

okay, sparta definitely not as influential and even in the same league as mars volta...but it must be noted though at how fucking mind-blowing volta are. they are so progressive sonically.. its just unclassifiable at what level they operate on. you cannot honestly tell me that volta isn't more instrumentally profound than atdi. i mean you'd be lying. atdi is more influential than volta and are a fucking incredible band...dont get me wrong. its just that, the future is here..and its volta.

[summer skin]

Next thing you know you're gonna say you don't like xdeathstarx!

The future dresses like a seventies funk band.

[comeondieyoung]

the mars volta>nothing

[waituphere]

the mars volta>nothing

i disagree because their music is like a mindfuck

[kearn1tm]

Comparing At the Drive-In to The Mars Volta is not unlike attempting to use hermeneutics to descipher mathematics.

You can't compare them because they are two radically different things that are both transcendent of their specific "genres" and peers.

this is, by far, the most intelligent analogy ever posted on these forums. well played.
