Dunno, after that they just became almost a self-parody. Like I guess their whole act was always kinda over the top and almost comically pretentious, but it got exceedingly ridiculous the music just wasn't good either. Maybe it's because Omar began to focus more on production... not that John Frusciante isn't an amazing guitarist as well (in fact, one of my favorites for his solo work), but dunno. Maybe their whole act only had so much mileage.

I feel like that's why we're seeing this reunion.

Sparta was kinda underrated. Really liked that one album they had, Porcelain. More ATDI sounding than anything TMV ever did. Not anywhere near as much of a departure.
