I just received this CD and I think it's great. So should I just end up getting all of their albums? Are they all pretty much as good as Twilight?
Thanks

All I know is that albums rocks.. except for that one GAY ASS Door-sy song that is like halfway through the album and is so shite that it hurts to listen to..

get Transmission, that's their only other decent album, but it's just my opinion. Transmission is heavier and more raw sounding than Twilight, but keeps the "eastern" sound they are known for.

EVERYTHING this mighty band has ever released is awesome!!!
"Edges" is, I feel, their best, however.
But you really MUST get their entire collection.
I would get "Interzone Mantras" next! It features the song "Master & the Margheurita" (perhaps their BEST!)!
Also needed is "Transmission" - a friggin' ANGRY-AS-HELL record that just kicks ass!!
Then, pick up "Tryptich", a combo of "Transmission" & "Edges", and then, of course, their debut "Splendor Solis". It's very bluesy/folksy.
They also have an EP which is acoustic/Eastern versions of 5 songs from "Edges". It's named "Alhambra".
It takes the "Eastern" tunes from "Edges" and amplifies the "eastern elements" tenfold!!

Great band! Seen 'em live, they put on a great show too!
Edges is my favorite by The Tea Party, but I like 'em all, frankly.
If you really like the feel of Edges, try out the band's debut, Splendor Solis. It's also very good.
Transmission is probably their heaviest in the direct sense of the word, a bit of electronic instrumentation also comes into play.
I see Triptych as a continuation of Transmission - a few more overtly commercial songs on there (which are good for what they are, though they've gotten overplayed a bit, at least in Canada), but still heavy, more electronic vibes as well.
After that, the band released a greatest hits album, Tangents, which is a fine overview and also has a few new songs on it, including a brilliant cover of the (admittedly, overcovered) Stones' "Paint it Black".
The Interzone Mantras, though, is probably the album which I'd recommend that you buy next. The electronic elements of the last 2 studio albums have been downplayed, and the exotic instrumentation heard on the first two albums isn't there to a great extent either - it's stripped down in that respect, but still very heavy, provocative music, and features some of the band's best (and darkest, IMO) songwriting. Definitely worth your hard-earned cash!
Yet to pick up the Alhambra EP though, so no comment on that.
