You're one of the few people who I've heard say they like Sparta more than Mars Volta. I was actually the same way initially, but have since grown to like The Mars Volta more. Sparta is great, but they're basically just ATDI2. Mars Volta experimented with their sound and went beyond the boundaries of ATDI, and did it very very well, imo.
As for Frances the Mute, I really love the album, particularly L'Via L'Viaquez. However, the ambient filler kind of bugs me as well and I wish they would have just cut the album time in half and just rocked all the way through. But, as great as this album is, I still like Deloused slightly more.
