Atheist: Jupiter

Got my Jupiter yesterday... :-)

It's a come-back release of sorts but half the original line up made it for this release (Shaefer/ Flynn). Ardent fans would be assured of the music's intricacy which, for the lack of better vocabulary, is deemed as Math Metal (Science Metal, Biology Metal... what else?). Others would classify this music to be progressive but what constitute the definitives of such categorization remains to be hazy & subjective. I'm definitely into the guitar works- so much guitars yet the aggression remains in-tact. However, let's kep in mind that Cynic & Spiral Architect, among others, are also plying this trade, so the release in whole doesn't sound too refreshing. Definitely one of the superb releases of 2010.
