4.0 out of 5 stars A great mix of music, December 25, 1999
By 
Wade Tomlin (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Triptych (Audio CD)
Not many hard rock bands have spread their wings as far as The Tea Party has in just four albums. In the past, the trio were always about expanding their musical horizons. Each new record saw the band create new sounds and in essence, recreate themselves. But on TripTych, the bands fourth release (already available in Canada), the band decided to meld all their previous incarnations together on one record, as well as implementing another new style. The first sound you hear is the hard driving electronic rock sound the group created for Transmission(their third record), songs like Touch and Great Big Lie are a great showcase for lead singer Jeff Martin's Jim Morrison like growl. Then on songs like Chimera, the middle eastern flair the band put on it's second album The Edges of Twilight resonates strongly. Best of all though is the bands creation of a new lighter pop rock sound on tracks like Heaven Coming Down with its U2 like guitar sound, that hasn't been heard on any previous record. With the combination of such sounds on one album, The Tea Party at once are able to expand their long time fans view of them, but also allow new listeners to get a sense of what The Tea Party is all about. The best song is the sweet romance found on Taking Me Away with its lush sounding chorus. TripTych is the most complete sounding record the band has ever done, which makes it a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extra Track?, December 29, 1999
This review is from: Triptych (Audio CD)
A great Cd by great band... nothing I can say that the other reviews dont...

But dont buy this version! The "extra track" (13-church bells) is part of the regular versions of this album. *There is nothing special about this version* Buy the album, but chose a cheaper version.

4.0 out of 5 stars Avoid the import!, November 8, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Triptych (Audio CD)
Don't get me wrong, this is a great album. But avoid the "Extra Tracks Import". The extra track (singular) is a hidden track: "Clock Noise". It's 60 seconds of a grandfather clock ringing, nothing more. No music, no lyrics. Definitely not worth a few extra dollars.
