Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Whatever one thinks of the Tea Party's ambitious yet commercial rock, the band deserves credit for not being afraid to come off as pretentious as a sack of Rush records. True to the trio's nature, The Interzone Mantras--the group's fifth full-length studio disc--is a study in excess. From an insert that folds out into a 16-panel poster of a multi-armed, multi-eyed deity to a song title borrowed from a Russian novel ("The Master and Margarita") to deep-throated spiritual pronouncements and everything-but-the-didgeridoo arrangements, the album never shies away from piling on more sound and more self-importance. That it works more often than not is testament to the band's knack for strong melodies and a compelling blend of riff-o-rama guitars and orchestral atmospherics, as on "Soulbreaking" and the acoustic ballad "White Water Siren." Barrel-chested rockers like "Lullaby" and the white-hot horn-driven opener, "Interzone," add some oomph to the proceedings, though nonfans will find the disc's more dirgelike moments ("Dust to Gold") trying. The album ends as it should, though, with an eight-minute denouement of crunchy guitars, Middle Eastern textures, and swelling strings that build to the decidedly unpretentious mantra, "Love is all we have / Love is all we need." --Shawn Conner

4.0 out of 5 stars Not their best, but a very good album.., November 7, 2001
By Kate (Australia) - See all my reviews
I think The Tea Party are absolutely superb, but if you are looking to purchase their best album, you are more looking to grab a copy of 'Edges of Twilight'..

Initially, I was extremely disappointed when listening to this album. It seemed to be completely void of the Eastern and Indian influences and the saturation of instruments that Tea Party fans are so accustomed to. Still, a little change never did any band any harm, except perhaps Radiohead.

It initially didn't seem to differ a great deal to me other rock pieces out there, and if The Tea Party is anything, they are distinctively individual.

However, after a couple of listens, the beauty and maturity of the lyrics on this album are clearly comparable to their best work.

Like all albums, it has its little disappointing moments; the verse chorus verse of 'Apathy', or 'Must Must' for example, and the shortness of many of the songs is a little unlike the traditional Tea Party.

However, if you have a listen to tracks like 'The Master and the Margarita', 'Soulbreaking' and particularly, the amazing 'Mantra', their old marvellous self becomes a little more apparant. It is an extreme contrast to the much lighter 'Triptych'; their last album..

Overall, this is a deeper, increasingly intricate and much darker Tea Party, and whilst it may not suit all fans, it will certainly touch a spot in some Tea Party loving hearts.

Whilst it does showcase some amazing lyrics, it really does not touch my heart in the way 'Edges of Twilight' and 'Triptych' manage to.

4.0 out of 5 stars Return to Rock, October 27, 2005
By Chubb Hottie (Austin,Texas) - See all my reviews
WOW! I am relieved that TTp have released this album. Triptych is a good album. Good album. Interzone Mantras is a GREAT album. This has all the classic Tea Party elements. It fuses eastern instruments with a truly rock sound. It took me 2 spins of this disc for me to fall in love with it. This album along with The Edges of Twilight and Transmission are my favorite Tea Party offerings. If you love great rock music with thought provoking lyrics, then this is the album for you. If you are new, I suggest doing a little research on the band to fully understand their work.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best cd's i have in my collection, April 4, 2004
This album is by far one of my favorite album of all time. This cd is worth every penny.

Interzone-great intro to the cd this song is cool 4/5
Angels-This is one of tea party single from this cd, it does not sound like a tea party song. this song has more of and mainstream rock vibe to it, but it's a really good song 5/5

Master in magirita- I really like this song, the guitar riffs are a killer in this one, so is the drums. 5/5
Apathy-this song is one of my lest favorite song on the album, to me it doesn't really stand out. 2/5

Soulbreaking-This song is the most emotional song on the cd, Jeff martin recived a mail from a teenage girl and in the letter she wrote that she was being sexual abuse by her father, so jeff martin made this song from that letter dedicating it to her and other women who are going thru the same problem.5/5

lullaby- Ah...another favorite, this song has that gothic vibe to it. everything is good in it, from the drums, bass, and guitar
5/5

Must Must- Another great long, catchy song, great drums and guitar. - 5/5

white water siren- This song sound like this old tea party, it has that eastern feeling in it with a little alternertive vibe to it. 4/5

Catharik- One of my favorites on the album, great beat. The guitar work in this song is amazing from the chourus, verse, and the killer solo. The lyrics are very strong in this song. 5/5

Dust to gold- another one of my favorites on this album, great guitar work and lyrics 5/5

Requiem- great guitar work in hear also, great chorus, but sometimes it reapeats a little too much, other than that it's a really great song. 4/5

Mantra- Ah, this song is a killer, it sounds eastern and it has a great vibe to it. Again the guitar work is amazing, also the drums and everything is superb! 5/5

If your a tea party fan this is a must, i think that this is one of their best work. Everything about this album is amazing from top to bottom. TEA PARTY RULEZ!!!!!!!!!!!
