1.Piece Of Time
2.Unquestionable Presence
3.Elements
And I adore all three releases. All three of them are so unique and so diverse. The common aspect is probably the technicality that surrounds all three albums. I can never pick a favourite album if I was asked to, but I hold UP a tad higher in technicality than the other two, and I slightly fancy PoT, because it was the first Atheist album I heard.
So recent news is that they have re-united, which is a good thing. I hope they don't release an album actually, because even Atheist can't touch the legendary three albums
. Of course, if they do release another mindnumber like the others, it would indeed be nice 
....Your thoughts?

Does Atheist have some free mp3's available somewhere? Edit: Ok, found some. But which Atheist album is best to start listening to them? They seem really interesting.

Written by BV on 21.07.2007 at 06:29 For more info on the current status of Atheist read the inetrview I did with them at Hellfest. And btw they won't be touring or recording anymore. The last show was in New York and all that is left now is a live dvd which they are planning to release.

Written by BV on 21.07.2007 at 23:15 This was a final world tour. It wasn't just a show here and there. I'll post ALL the dates tomorrow (will copy them of the back of my Piece Of Time T-shirt.)

The reason why they did a load of festivals was that in that way they could reach as many people as possible.

Written by Guest on 21.07.2007 at 14:21 That's sure. If I'll get some money soon, I'll buy it. I checked their myspace, songs uploaded there are really good. They're a lot more Jazz influenced than Cynic for example.

Good and Bad news. Atheist might consider performing live in coutnries they haven't visited on their 2006-2007 tour. But they will never ever release any new material because they don't want to spoil the legacy they left behind. I think it is a wise move from this to just leave at those three masterpieces. Just look at how bands have gone on recording while they should have stopped and by recording crap have tainted their legacies.

I'm also glad that they aren't recording anything new. Whatever they come up with probably will not be as good as their first three albums...but then again, tons of bands are reforming lately and releasing some great stuff... I finally got Piece of Time the other day. It actually might be my favorite album by them because it's more straightforward, but still insanely technical.

Written by ylside on 09.08.2007 at 21:39 Aye! I'm so happy. If they want to release something, then they should do it under a different banner...

I kept trying to search these guys everywhere, and I could never find them, want to know why? Because I kept searching Athiest.

Written by Guest on 01.02.2008 at 02:19 I'm afraid that they'll tarnish the legendary status of the Atheist that they created in a different time, when they were much younger and when they were probably smoking A LOT more pot. Of COURSE I'll be happy if the guys release anything new together, but it'd be really cool if they call themselves something else, other than Atheist, unless the music is going to be in the very same vein, which I doubt.

You elitist fucks. Joke, joke. But seriously, I hate when people say by releasing something new it will "tarnish" their other albums and their past. It's just that, THE PAST. It can not be changed. I'm pretty sure 'Show No Mercy' is still awesome even if someone thought 'Diabolus In Musica' wasn't. The same goes for any band who's put out material their "fans" didn't enjoy. I just dope these guys are doing it out of personal feeling and not public (being the Metal community) opinion.
