Lyrically there is much to learn from this album in anybodies life. All the comments I see about Shannon Hoon are falseified. This in my opinion is a tribute to the death of a fallen great artist. His life should be celebrated by everybody that love Blind Melon as they were. As well they are putting out a good message to the youth that drugs are not the answer to life's stresses. Listen to the lyrics of this bad ass album and you might understand what this band is trying to accomplish. I give this album a 15 if the scale could break the benchmark. Thanks and good night. God Bless all !!! Thank you Uniified Theory for a good listen and hope you continue your wonderful sound !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! … Expand

The 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.

Critics who are willing to downplay this album are obviously fanatics of the idiot-favouring one-hit-wonder 'artists' such as..well, pick your generic artist and inscribe it here.... This album, this band is the best damn thing to come out of the pop scene since, it has been said, blind melon...Great job!

The 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.

Excellent, well crafted songs/album

I love this album. I'm 36 and it encompasses my tastes in rock perfectly. The band is tight and talented, and the direction is very clear.

That 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

majestic, soaring, uplifting, powerful, melodic, driving, wailing, introspective, retrospective...

This 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.

that´s only wonderfull!!!!!!!!

Its 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.

A+ 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.

the best band ever since 1990!!! they have the best drummer in the world DAVE KRUSEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is a album really good!.... the sound is perfect!

This album should be a classic. It really is.

unified theory has a very good sound to there band but what gets me is the singer sounds just like shannon hoon the lead singer from blindmelon and it seems to me (dont get me wrong) but if ur gonna start a new band with a new name atleast dont try to get a guy thats vioce matches up to shannon hoons because in some way its a rip off of shannons vioce that just comes natural, and to have some guy who pops into this new band and trys to sing like him ,i dunt think is right because in my eyes and through my ears shannon hoon will never be replaced by any guy who can try sing like him or try to write like him Shannon Hoon is Original In Vioce And in Heart And Is a Genious and im not sayen this other guy sucks but he should find his own vioce~… Expand

I freaking love this cd.......!

One of the best albums, production and song writting as well as musicianship that I've listened to in the last 30 years, really!!!

Amazingly awesome!

BEAUTIFUL!

This is not Melon rehashed, Unified Theory create a sound all thier own.

This album is amazing and filled with alot of soul and solid melotoned sounds. I really wish this was on the radio. Stop by Plattsburgh, or Buffalo NY we would like to hear you guys!

It's so great to have the blind melon sound back and even though its not shannon hoon they don't lose their integrity with their new lead singer he sounds earily the same while still adding his own flair. A must have albumn for any and every melon fan! Rock on guys!!!!!

I absolutely love this album. It is incredibly refreshing and the deserve to be huge. I can't wait to see them tour. Hope it's soon!

Definitely 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!

great album!

its not melodrama. . .its soul.

that just goes to show you how some critics have their head so far up their own ass that theyve lost site of whats and pure... when you trash music that is real..music that people are pasionate about they speak out for what they believe in...this is good music says the fans!

Voice similar to Shannon Hoon's who is missed very much

never did hear them on radio. anyway..where's the next album?

one of the most personal/ sonic masterpeices ever created. I heard one critic talking about roy Orbison in one artical concerning Unified Theory. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE WHO GIVE A FUCK ABOUT ROY ORBISON AND WHERE ARE THEY?

Truelly one of the best albums i have ever owned. Mellow, psychedelic tones accompanied by deepfelt lyrics resulting in a refined and very original band. Once you get into this album it will mean a lot to you, check it out.

Music. Nothing less.

One 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.

all there is to say is that its fuckin amazing!!!!

This is the best!

I 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.

Not 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.

Music 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.

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

one of the most underated albums of the last few years.wonderful songs

Great sound, great arrangements and very fresh

A classic!!!

powerful, soaring, heartfelt, but at times a bit trite

I trully know that this band will live in the hearts of some of the greatest people . p.s. long live Blind Melon and Luma

These 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!

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

One 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.

kick ass

Just a Great Album Start to Finish . . Rarity in the music out today. .

it's great f*ck sonicnet! They don't know sh*t!

True talent!

this album fuckin rocks....it's almost like blind melon...but not quite....

i 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.

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