5.0 out of 5 stars PROGRESSIVE JAZZ DEATH METAL, August 13, 2004
By Dante "Dante" (Valinhos, SP BRAZIL) - See all my reviews
If you listen to DEATH, you probably believe you listen a technical and heavy sound. And you are right! Anyone who listens Chuck Schuldiner's works is listenning a extreme and complex music.
But know DEATH isn't the only band playing this way that raised in Florida's ground.
ATHEIST plays a Death Metal with strong progressive and jazz influences. It sounds better than you realize. You can hear these influences in the riffs, solos, time brankings...
It is a extreme and complex song, as DEATH's music is. But Atheist isn't a vulgar copy of Chuck Schuldiner's band. It is one of the most creative bands in all Metal. If you don't belive me, listen it and get your conclusion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible, What Else Is There To Say?, June 5, 2003
By Zettel "Matt" (Iowa City, IA) - See all my reviews
Well, I've been looking for this album for some months now....it was reissued a few year's back, but is out of print once again. I finally found it in a pretty obscure little music show that had only one copy left. After listening to it, I now know what all those great reviews were talking about.

This album is described by most as death metal, but is something more along the lines of a hybrid between death metal, (a small amount of) thrash metal, and progressive metal. There is also a small hint of jazz in the structures and bass playing that adds a very nice extra touch. The song themes are pretty good and the musicianship and song writing are both excellent. You won't go wrong by picking this one up when you are able to find it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Atheist fans die hard for a good reason., December 21, 2001
This is hateful and hopeful music. It hates all stupidity and lashes out at the world, but it has an inner peace expressed in the benevolent fun of pure musicality in a jazz-influenced but freeform death metal style. Influences are understated on "Piece of Time," which is closest to progressive speed/death metal, but on the following album explode in a masterpiece of dark moods in a conflict permitting many future directions. One of the greatest progressive metal bands, and best death metal bands, to ever walk this earth. Kelly Schaefer (guitar/vocals) is now in Neurotica, a Led Zeppelin/AC/DC style band, singing on all three of their releases.
