DavidM.May 17, 2002The critics who derided this album are out of their minds. In these days of pop bullshit and bland manufactured artists, Unified Theory was a breath of fresh air- they actually had *talent*, something that seems to be in short supply nowadays. The album is superbly crafted and the musicianship is phenomenal. So you can blow me Sonicnet with your half-ass 3/10 review.

BMelonJul 3, 2002That music (wanna be)critic at Sonicnet should be fired for smoking crack. Wake up and smell the coffe. This is one of the best albums of the 21Century...Instant Classic

PhillipGApr 29, 2003This album is Outstanding. If these guys didn't break up they had quite a future ahead of them. Hopefuly a reunion is in the near future.

BryanZMar 24, 2004Its actually too good. Most won't even be able to reconize the genius. But for all of us out there that "get it" will love it forever. Simply amazing and for anyone who appreciates real music.

LeeWoodTMay 8, 2004A+ I can't stop listening to it. In fact, if Chris SHINN is interested I'm in the middle of a CD project that I'd love him to sing on. We all con always hope for a reunion.

UnifiedTheoryMar 27, 2002Definitely a great sound, too bad they split up before they could make another one.. Had to post this cause those 4s and a 3 piised me off!

AaronNov 11, 2004One of best CDs ever. I wish this band would release more CDs. They built on Blind Melon, but caught the glint of something much more powerful.

ConnorSSep 15, 2004I generally don't listen to much poppy rock like this but I absolutely love this album. Especially the vocals and guitar, but that's assumed with music of this type.

MikeCJan 18, 2005Music is supposed to not only reach the listeners ears, but its supposed to reach the depths of his or hers mind and heart. This album did just that, it took me on a ''trip'' and really moved me. I must say, i havn't been this captured by my music, since a Perfect Circles - Mer De Noms ... This album is brilliant and i hope to hear more from Unified Theory.

danhDec 17, 2005the critics need to learn how to appreciate real music! these songs are no less than perfect.

Pi3.14159Feb 24, 2002One of the most creative sounds I've heard in awhile. You can jam to it or just chill out. I hope they make more music.

JonathanRSep 23, 2004i bought this on a whim at amoeba music is LA. i was with my father (who's a producer) and we put this album on to try it out. about 5 or 6 seconds into the first song, both my father and i said, "this is amazing." it's really that fucking good. christopher thorn is my guitar god.

DaveBNov 22, 2005This was a great album. Its too bad the critics didn't think so I was hoping for a follow up.

iangJan 31, 2006The music is very much in the way of blind melon and with a singer equally as haunting as hoon makes each song a welcome to hear. If you miss blind melon then this is essential listening.

WillieD.Dec 20, 2001Excellent, well crafted songs/album

BarryW.Jan 17, 2002These guys have a killer sound of their own. Blind Melon's members add a one of a kind feel. I would say a 9 out of a 10. This vocalist does sound a little like Hoon from Melon but, better than the Vedder, Weiland, and any other copycats of the 90's. 2 vocalist's that can sure belt out originality!

GregS.Feb 15, 2002I was looking for something new...this was it...unique and inspired writing...I heard about 10 seconds of "Cessna" and bought it.

LizzieMNov 30, 2001BEAUTIFUL!

JeradNDec 20, 2001This is not Melon rehashed, Unified Theory create a sound all thier own.
-
-
ZachLJan 10, 2005Not too shabby. The only thing I didn't like ws the lead vocalists voice. I think it really distracts from the good things that are going on rythmically and with the percussion.
-
-
Unified Theory play melodramatic art rock (with a capital AOR) in a Meatloaf-meets-Jane's Addiction kind of way. Their music plods along with all the grace of a Pinto sans muffler, substituting grandiosity for grace and thus failing to achieve the dramatically transcendent sounds that Roy Orbison and Jeff Buckley once made.
-
Easily one of the best and most promising rock debuts since, well, Blind Melon's 1992 self-titled debut.
-
Sadly, [lead vocalist Chris] Shinn's love of drama often overshadows the band's taut and atypical rhythm section, and the somewhat left-of-center construction of Thorn's guitar parts.
