5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible!!, August 4, 2003

By	Metal Dave (south FL) - See all my reviews

first off, you need to find this album SOMEWHERE!!! very hard to find! Atheist is a band that plays Technical death jazz style metal and the album illustrates all the abilities that this band has to offer. If you like technical Metal or progressive Metal.... if you like bands like Death, Nocturnus, Cynic, Watchtower, Spiral Architect, or Sceptic,, you must pick this up if u can find it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Make it your mission to find this CD at all costs!!, October 31, 2003

By	C. Olson (CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Unquestionable Presence is without a doubt one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard. The music is so amazing that I found myself to be mesmerized the entire way through. Each song is a heavy, complex masterpiece that will make your jaw drop every single time. No doubt Atheist's best album, and quite possibly one of the best albums ever by any band in history.
Sadly, you will have a hard time coming across this rare gem. I paid big bucks to get my greedy little hands on this CD, but it was worth 3 times as much as I paid. It's really that good. This album is long out of print, which is really a shame considering what a treasure it really is. My advice to anyone reading this is to scour record stores(not major chain stores, but small independent stores,) and check amazon, half.com, and ebay daily for someone selling this, and pay whatever price necessary. However, you will never catch me selling my copy, I promise. Good luck to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, September 26, 2003

By	Robert (Pineville, La.) - See all my reviews

The second effort from Atheist. "Unquestionable Presence" was released after the tragic death of bassist Roger Patterson. The band went on to release another album that was not nearly as good. This, in my opinion, is one of the best heavy metal releases of all time, period!!. It's a shame we never got to see the full potential of this band as the musicianship and originality of Atheist is unmatched. I am still looking for this CD, fortunately I still have the cassette. If you can't find this one, check out "Piece of Time", its awesome as well.
