I own Splender Solis, Edges of Twilight, Transmission, Triptych, Interzone Mantras, and the new one. At one point the Tea Party were THE favourite band of mine, alongside the Hip. I don't like their latest effort but it wasn't horrible. Their perfomance on Much Music a few years ago (which spawned the video for Psychopomp) was nothing short of amazing IMO. I never got the chance to see them live unfortunately.

Having said that, I gotta give credit to Martin for his songrwriting and although I don't consider him a great songwriter, he deserves to be on the list anyway.
