Free Music Notes for Unified Theory
Free Music Review: LOOK OUT! UNIFIED THEORY HAS ARRIVED!
Hit: 5 Stars
This record is the first full length studio album by this amazing and promising group. Formed in 1999 in Seattle, WA. when vocalist Chris Shinn met lead guitarist Christopher Thorn(Formerly of Blind Melon, another amazing band). Thorn invited former Melon bandmate Brad Smith(Bass) to play with them. They were later joined by former Pearl Jam percussionist Dave Krusen. This record is simply a truimph. It follows no current trend, but rather creates an original, infectious, and somewhat ethereal blend of heavy guitar effects, groovy bass lines, amazing percussion and the most amazing voice to emerge in rock in years. My favorite tunes include Instead of Running, Wither, Not Dead, The Sun Will Come, and Keep On. Nearly every song has been my favorite at one point or another. Unified Theory is currently working on their second album. Keep your eye on these guys, because they're sure to make some noise in the music world.Free Music Review: New Rock for the new Millennium
Hit: 5 Stars
For those who do not know anything about Unified Theory, this band consists of former members of Peal Jam and Blind Melon. However, try to leave that fact at the door when you begin to listen to this CD. The music is very layered and textured and the high voice of Chris Shinn soars over the tracks. It is very different from what you have heard from Blind Melon and Pearl Jam. I really appreciate what this new band is trying to create. The sound is very fresh and the future is looking very bright for UT. In this time of "boy bands" and "rap metal", rock and roll needs a band like this one. My favorite tracks include: "Cessna", "California", "Passive", "Wither", and "AM Radio".
Free Music Review: great inde/alt rock cd
Hit: 5 Stars
I randomly stumbled upon this cd by means of a friend who is a long term fan of blind melon. After a few listens, it quickly dawned on me that this is one of the best inde rock albums released in recent years. The vocalist sounds a little like Shannon at times, but not so much that you would think they are trying to recreate blind melon. This cd ranges along the lines of the formerly stated band, but adds so much more depth of inde rock influences. The other strong influence that I hear through the cd is that of sunny day real estate. Considering that inde/alternative rock today usually implies "emo"(aka, crap), this cd is a much needed relief to the fan of real, true rock. Well produced, dynamic, solid, and all around just good music.Free Music Review: Silky Smooth!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is clearly an album that had a lot of thought and effort put into its creation. The overall mix of the record is layered with texture and is drenched in sensuality. Great songwriting combinded with true musical talent make this album a must have. Vocalist Chris Shinn sings with flavors of Perry Ferrell, Freddie Mercury, Shannon Hoon, & Thom Yorke while Christopher Thorn & Brad Smith (Blind Melon) set the mood on guitar, bass, lapsteel, keys, flute, and other little goodies. Dave Krusen (Pearl Jam, Candlebox) ties it all together with unmatched precision on the skins. Unified Theory take you on a melodic journey that shouldn't be missed!Free Music Review: Unified Theory On The Way Up!
Hit: 5 Stars
This band must be brand new because I have not found much information on them. One thing I can say is that this album is great. They sort of remind me of Janes Addiction. The lead singer has that Perry Farrel tone going on yet blends his own style in. It shows on songs like "California", which has that catchy guitar hook blended with the wistful vocal stylings (very catchy song). The album moves to songs like "Wither" and "Fin", which have an acoustic, mellow yet hooky feel as well. All in all I expect everyone to hear more about this band soon. They are that type of great sound that can't be hidden for long.
