notes

"An album of uncommon beauty and power."
-Jon Worley, Aiding & Abetting

"A masterpiece in the dark."
-Melissa Hill, Music Revue

"Hauntingly passionate, progressively depressing."
-MP3.com

"A gifted though likely disturbed duo."
-Sarah Byrne, Recoil Magazine

Becoming Aware is the debut album from ethereal rock duo Unfinished Thought. Driven by delicate vocal harmonies and compulsive guitar playing, the album creates a layered atmosphere that is both fragile and haunting. Becoming Aware delivers deceptively beautiful musical textures while exploring themes such as mental illness, obsession, addiction, and depression. This is an album that combines introspective ideas with dark rock elements to create a unique and interesting piece of music.

Stacey Nelson - Vocals, Piano
Joe Kiser - Guitars, Bass, Keyboards, Programming

Produced and Recorded by Joe Kiser

Reviews:

"It's been awhile since someone has sent me some really great Goth. Imagine if William Orbit and Trent Reznor produced the Cure albums of the late 80's. Add in female vocals and maybe the picture is a little more complete.

Kiser is happy to use keyboard washes of all sorts: some warm, some harsh and some almost indescribably beautiful. He refuses to follow the book, and so the sounds here are fresh and unexpected.

Kiser and Nelson have put together an album of uncommon beauty and power. If you want to know where electronic music is going, this disc might give you a clue."

.....

"Emerging from a backdrop of mood-defining music is the voice of a Siren, attempting to lure listeners into the treacherous depths of mental instability. Thought-provoking lyrics and emotional industrial music join a piano and guitars in a creative journey through troubled psyches. This gifted though likely disturbed duo combine some unlikely elements to create a lulling schizophrenic experience. Stacey Nelson's voice is pure as a virgin as it explores the darker parts of human nature to the groove of haunting melodies. Not for the clinically depressed."

    Becoming Aware is UT's first album. I love it. Some of my favtrite songs are: Xoe, Lack of Days, Voices, and My Valntine's Last Breath. I give all the songs 5 stars. Stacy's voice is uncomparable to any other in the music world today.

    author: bloodswan

    This cd is amazing. The music is so haunting, so passionate. I listen to this album at least once a day, seriously. Don't forget to check out their other album as well.

  • Haunted/haunting vocals and great music
    author: the Jax

    Unfinished Thought's debut CD has hardly left my player since it arrived. Hard to recommend one song above others. At first I wished the duo would "rock out" more, but ended up preferring this album over their harder second release. Overflowing with sincerity rare in today's music; definitely a product of pain but not whiny or self-pitying in any way. I see broad crossover appeal. Did I mention it's beautiful?

  • A MUST OWN FOR ANY CD COLLECTION
    author: SCOTT B. BUSH

    This CD is a must own for any CD collection . The band Unfinished Thought brings to mind Evanescence ..only Unfinished Thought sounds much better. This band will be very big soon and now is your chance to grab a flawless CD at a great price . Do yourself the favor and pick this up. It was wonderful .

    Unfinished Thought Is a truly amazing band who's music is not quite like anyone i've heard before. The mixture of the different styles of music is something that i have not heard before. The music is absolutely breath taking. Stacey Nelson, the main vocalist, has such a beautifull voice, that the very first time i heard the album i was hooked. Unfinished Thought has quickly become one of my favorite groups due to the fact that they have Made this album like nothing else i have ever heard. Every song has a different style, and they still made their entire album great. No need for program buttons with this CD as it was all amazing. In Finishing i would like to say that Unfinished Thought is a truly amazing band and if you would like to hear some more of their music a great place to find their music would be their website at www.unfinishedthrought.com . I am more then happy to give this band 5/5 stars

  • Debut album shows its respectability.
    author: Ashley

    As a debut album, this band surely exceeds that of the typical expectations. Dark lyrics and enchanting musical talent provide for a amazing album. This album is a great display of beautiful music, mixed with stunning vocals. Each track has its own unforgettable story. Though this band has been compared to others such as; Evanescence, Lacuna Coil and The Gathering, they surly do not fit the form, they exceeds it. Unfinished Thought is original and shows that music can still be beautiful.

  • An amazing album worth purchasing
    author: Cathryn

    I found myself loving Unfinished Thought after discovering them through Evanescence. Their music has a more thoughtful darker twist and sets a story of insanity and the unknown. This band's first album is shockingly different from anything I have ever heard and their completely unique music is enchanting. Stacey's vocals are hauntingly beautiful backed up by Joe's amazing guitar, and this is one band that you should definitely check out.

    author: Jay
