Not bad per say but weak compared to any of their previous materialand thats coming from a huge Tea Party fan.
I only own Tangents which I love and so I wanted an actual album to hear, this was the only one available where I went today. I really wanna get The Edges of Twilight and Splendor Solis as I hear they are the best and I do like the few songs I've heard from them.Its kinda weird how much I'm liking this band recently as growing up listening to their singles on MuchMusic really didn't do anything for me.So far I'm liking Seven Circles, but I don't really have anything to compare it to other than a best of.. Writing's on The Wall, Stargazers, The Watcher and Oceans all seem to be my favorites based on my first listen.
Splendor Solis - Bluesy Rock mixed with some middle eastern sounds.
Edges of Twilight - Rock mixed with lots of middle eastern influences.
Transmission - Rock mixed with industrial and middle eastern influences
TripTych - Mosly rock with llight middle estern influences. This is their most mainstream releasebut very good IMO.
InterZone Mantras - is a mixture of Edges of Twilight and TripTych
Personally they are all great records with many great tunes, butout of all these albums, I find myself going back to Transmission, TripTych and Edges of Twilight the most.
