I've listened to Unquestionable Presence by Atheist a few times recently after a gap of about 2 years. And I rediscovered what a delight it is. This is aggressive, death-thrash-jazz-funk stuff with tons of jaw-dropping riffs. The album opener Mother Man is sheer genius. The song immediately makes clear what to expect from the album. The drumming is mind-numbingly precise and lays down the perfect basis for the ensuing madness. The bass keeps switching between maniacal gallops and crazed funk slap. Kelly Shaefer's vocal work is spot on. This is one heck of an album, one of metal's greatest.
