The only possible upside of ATDI breaking up is that we would get two great bands out of it. Well we got one and Sparta wasn't it. I remember reading an article where the vocalist said 'Sparta is more melodic than ATDI - less ape shit'. What obviously made ATDI so great was the 'ape shit' factor. Still I was optimistic about this release, the tracks are pretty solid, not necessarily cookie cutter and better than a lot of other emoish crap that was out there. This version of "mye" is different from what appears on the full length.
