Syrinx Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 He looks like Jim Morrison! I was always a fan of the Tea Party. Big fan of the drummer - can't remember his name right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 The Interzone Mantras hasn't gotten a mention yet but that's my favorite album from them. I know I might go against the grain a bit with the rest of the fanbase but it's an absolutely great, flawless rock album from beginning to end. Overall, I think that album is the peak of the band's songwriting. Everything just came together perfectly on it. The Interzone Mantras is my favorite Tea Party album as well. There's so much material on that record that really resonates with me, and every song is a good one. Here's the set from the show I saw on that tour: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-tea-party/2002/sheas-performing-arts-center-buffalo-ny-bd341fa.html Not sure why Samsara is listed though? I don't recall that being played. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Tor Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Good stuff in this thread, where shall I start album wise guys? I would recommend The Edges Of Twilight. It is their best and most popular album. I saw them on the Edges Of Twilight 20th anniversary tour last year in which they played the album in its entirety. It was amazing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgkvLhGbqyg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love their take on Paint It Black. Yeah, Samsara seems like it would have been out of place in that second slot. Fire in the Head seems much more likely to have occupied that spot. I love all the Interzone coverage, of course. Did they never play Must Must live though? I know they could play only so much from that one album during the tour, but that song seems like it would've been a good live number. And not that I've done much searching, but I haven't seen any evidence that they ever played Gyroscope live either. I know Martin has said that it's one of their toughest for him to sing. That song rocks though; it'd be a shame if it was never played during a show. Edited March 11, 2016 by Cyclonus X-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That song rocks though; it'd be a shame if it was never played during a show. They are known to play some snippets of songs in their sets. So, it's possible they played a part of Samsara and I didn't notice. I remember after Interzone, Jeff welcomed the crowd and thanked them for coming. He then gave a brief intro to Fire In The Head and they started playing it. Everything else in that set is correct though. I'm not sure about Must Must ever being played. The songs they did off Interzone at my show I think were the main ones they played on that tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those two other guys in the band who play 50 instruments each aren't too bad either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 I get a bit of Jim Morrison vibe from the vocalist sometimes... I really dig this band! So, do we possibly have another band that you will become obsessed with like only you can? Lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 I saw on their facebook page that is says a new single in late spring/early summer is possible. So maybe a new album is on the way soon :dweez: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day of Light Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Stupid question: What is TTP's debut album? Is it the self-titled 1991? Or Splendor Solis? The wikipedia article says the self-titled is a bunch of demos, so I was wondering which one was best to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually never heard the self titled one but I can't say enough good things about Splendor Solis. I always saw it as their first album myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually never heard the self titled one but I can't say enough good things about Splendor Solis. I always saw it as their first album myself. If we're getting reeeeally persnickety with details, they technically released a demo, then an independent self-titled debut album in 1991, then Splendor Solis. A sufficiently limited number of copies of that self-titled debut were produced that a lot of folks don't know about it and/or consider Splendor Solis to be their debut Some of the songs from the self-titled release made it onto Splendor Solis (re-recorded), and the remainder of the album is a bit more blues-rockish. Since it was so limited, you wouldn't be following a path different from many fans if you started with Splendor Solis only to subsequently get curious and hunt down the self-titled release. :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
