Free Music Notes for Unified Theory
Free Music Review: NOT Blind Melon and not trying to be! Great Music.,
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm not a music critic, so I won't pretend to be here!
I originally heard about this band online and bought the album on the strength of 3 songs, only one of which (Passive) is on this album. I listened to the album eagerly and found it a little difficult to get into and was disappointed not to be able to hear all the songs I wanted. Having said that, this album gets played regularly both at home and when i'm out cycling. The songs grow and grow and they're worth the effort of listening to. What one UK reviewer described as 'atypical drumming' may be why - it seems harder to get into music if the drummer uses unusual rhythms or rhythms that change unexpectedly. Once you have listened to the same piece a few times, you anticipate those changes and the song becomes not only more accessible, but more interesting too.
Tool are a good example of this: great use of atypical rhythm and not immediately accessible music, but more than worth the effort. I totally recommend checking them out, although stylistically they're totally different to Unified Theory. (Although, strangely, both have been compared to Alice In Chains - I don't think the comparison is particularly valid though.)
These artists are not trying to be Blind Melon, although 2 out of the original 5 members are in this band. I'm not going to say any more on that; it's obvious by listening to the album.
As an added note of interest, Unified Theory are no longer together, but have put together a second album to be released around mid 2007. Entitled 'Cinematic', fans of the band got to choose the tracks that went onto this new album, so if you're a fan you may well enjoy this new output.
Also, Blind Melon have reformed with a new singer and (I think) sound very good indeed from the three songs they posted online for public appraisal. There is talk (from the band, not merely hopeful fans!) of a tour and album this year (2007), and even the possibility that Unified Theory may support them! Just how that would work, I don't know. I suspect it might be too much to ask of the two who are members of both bands. Would they get paid twice, d'ya think?
Anyway, awesome music that's well worth the effort of listening to more than once and great new sounds still to come.
