For each album, the lineup includes all members whose years overlap with the album’s release year. For example, Paul Geary was a member until 1994, so he appears on albums through 1992 but not on the 1995 album. Mike Mangini was active 1994–1996 and thus appears on the 1995 album. Kevin Figueiredo joined in 2007 and is on albums from 2008 onward.
