*. The Tea Party .*

Album: Triptych (Special Tour Edition) (2000)(Bonus CD)
Genre: Prog Rock (Crossover/Hard Rock/Alternative/Exp.)  /  Canada

Okay, if you are ANY type of fan of the Tea Party, you should definitely get this! I'm assuming, due to the stamp on the bottom of the photo of the picture of the album on the purchase page that this is actually their "Special Tour Edition" Double-CD (you might want to clarify that before you purchase this). The first CD is of their latest full length album, TRIPtych, which is a beautiful rock CD, crossing many musical boundaries, including rock, classic rock, middle eastren rhythms, and others. The second CD is a real gem. It consists of live versions of some of their current releases, and also has some new material by them that hasn't been released on any of their previous albums. The amount of variety on it is excellent. My fav song, their new rendition of the Splendor Solis song, The River, is romantic, hypnotic, and contemplative. Anyway, to sum it all up again, if you are a Tea Party fan and don't own this, you will not regret paying the extra money for it! Review by "M. Hicks" (www.amazon.com)
