History
Unified Theory began to form in early 1998. After a plan to carry on Blind Melon with a new singer didn't work out, Smith and Thorn decided to start a new band. Thorn came across Shinn after moving to L.A. to scout vocalists. "Chris has an exceptional voice, I was blown away," says Thorn, "You have to like people you're working with, we wanted someone with personality and a voice. He's a fun guy and I was completely floored by his songs." Krusen, the drummer from Pearl Jam's epic album Ten, was already friends with Thorn and Smith. Kirsen joined Unified Theory after touring with Candlebox. In August 2000 the band issued their self-titled debut album. Blind Melon was an American rock band from the 1990s. ...

Criticism While recording, the band made a conscious effort to try and steer away from the Blind Melon sound. "I didn't want to repeat that sound because it would be too painful — a lot of time had passed between Blind Melon and Unified Theory. During this time we naturally evolved in our musical influence," states Smith. However, some fans of Blind Melon feel that the band did try recreate Blind Melon. And that singer Cris Shin tries too hard to sound like, Blind Melon vocalist Shannon Hoon.
