| Good song. Sparta is cool, I LOVE At the drive-in. My god, it sucks that they broke up. I think atd-i was sort of screamo, or emocore, as well, [which i also think is a hard kind of music to achieve in...] atd-i was the best! | |

| This site has At The Drive-In lyrics. You just have to spell it right with the - inbetween Drive and In. ... And ATD-I wasn't punk nor emo. Screamo or Emocore. But not just emo.. | |

| Well i hate to beat this whole emo topic into the ground. But to me, At the Drive-In is more tight wire guitar rock than anything. and i really don't get the EMO genre. not that i care to. So if any band puts any thought or emotion into their music, they're consider EMO. | |

| I went to the weezer concert too which had sparta as its opener.. and they rocked my ass off. and then dashboard came on and completely pissed me off. his voice sucks.. he sings through his nose... cant stand that! oh well.. then weezer came on and was awesome. but enough about that and back to this song... i love sparta's lyrics.. you cant compare them to anybody else really. its sweet as hell. | |

| I can't believe some of the people the 'emo genre' invites. Quit classifying it and let it go as GOOD MUSIC. And it shocks me how many people want to deny these hardworking musicians success. Do you support these bands you love so much at all? Just because more than fifty people like their music, doesn't make it bad music. You guys need to grow up and realize that commercial success does not in any way diminish talent. If they come out with an album you don't like, then maybe they are evolving as musicians and some of you apes can't respect that. Best luck to Sparta. They've created a splash and I've heard a lot of good things going around in the press about them. I've got their album and demo and love them both. ATD-I was great too, but they needed to go seperate ways. Don't question that, just respect the musicians enough to make their own decisions about their paths, lives and music. | |
