At the Drive-In just announced they're splitting up. Relationship of Command was one of the most intense albums of 2000. One Armed Scissor is a perfect rock song. They were the most exciting live band in the world.

Apparently Cedric and Omar are starting something called 'The Mars Volta.' Interested but devastated about ATDI.

One of the best live bands I've ever seen. The energy was genuinely dangerous. Cedric climbing the PA stacks, Omar playing with his back to the audience. Irreplaceable.

The Mars Volta name sounds interesting. If it's Cedric and Omar, the talent is there. But ATDI's chemistry with Jim and Paul was special.

Relationship of Command is a masterpiece. Invalid Litter Dept., Cosmonaut, Pattern Against User — every track is incredible. Gone too soon.
