Artist: The Tea Party | Album: TRIPtych | Released: 1999 | Genre: Rock
The Tea Party have taken their fair share of bruises over the years from the perennial criticisms that they are really nothing more than lukewarm derivatives; however, in some ways, they have admittedly brought such derogatory remarks and comparisons on themselves. On Splendor Solis, the band converged at an obvious musical fondness for Led Zeppelin and lyrical affection for the poetic musings of Jim Morrison; the end result was an album with a very earthy, mystical feel, and while the careful ear could soon ferret out qualities of distinction between teacher and student after several listens, many critics never got past the bowed guitar lines of “Save Me” before denouncing them altogether. For The Edges Of Twilight, the band took their interests in world music — particularly through genuine eastern instruments – further and higher than even Page himself had ever attempted, but with advents into British folk and the blues, and worse yet, with parts of “Fire In The Head” sounding reasonably similar to “Kashmir,” copycat cries resurfaced yet again, and the band still seemed unable to fully attain the respect one can only imagine of which they felt deprived (and rightfully deserved); things were not helped much by the fact that Martin had a striking vocal similarity to Morrison at times. Finally, the trio suddenly turned 180 degrees and sped away into an entirely new direction on 1997’s Transmission by once again shedding the skin of past procedure to make room for heavy bouts of Nine Inch Nails-style, industrial electronica (yet, without sacrificing the touchstones of their identity); for once, there were no more glib analogies and most agreed that the Tea Party’s time had come, but the surprising course they had set for themselves left the unanswered question of “where will they go next?” hanging in midair — would they follow the tide of this latest fascination or would there be something of a return to form?
