In the last few years, the metal community saw many dead bands rising from their ashes, playing some festivals, and eventually recording new albums. Even the technical/jazz death metal scene was swept in the movement, so after Cynic, then Pestilence, here we are finally with the new Atheist album.
Even if there wasn't supposed to be one at first.

Let's face it. It isn't exactly the easiest task for a band with a legendary discography that hasn't been built upon in a considerably long period of time to suddenly rise from the ashes with a new album, and Atheist no doubt knew that they were facing this challenge with Jupiter. In such a case, a band really only has two choices. They can either continue with their classic sound that won them such love and admiration from their fanbase, or they can go for a newer sound that, while different, is still a refreshingly original and interesting evolution (see Bathory and Cynic). Unfortunately, however, on Jupiter, Atheist's new sound, coming 17 years after Elements, sounds much more like a regression than an evolution.

Heard it twice now and really enjoy it. Kelly's vocals are a bit rougher than before, but musically it's as strong as ever.

I know this is a rather shallow question (because I'm going to find out eventually and make up my own mind), but how does it compare to the other Atheist albums? Do the musical arrangements themselves stand up against their own technical work? I'm excited, so that's why I'm asking.

I definitely think it does. Other than having a more aggressive sound (the Jason Suecof treatment) it's very much in line with old Atheist stuff. The songwriting is still just as killer, and the licks and riffs just as badass.

Reminds me of Elements on the first listen... vocals a bit more pronounced and distracting but other than the shortness of the album it seems very redeeming. Masters of jazz metal have a nice comeback by the sound of it... looking forward to further listening.

What a good suprisei i didn't expect that! It's a perfect come back according to myself. They didn't try to copy piece of time or another old stuff. But they kept the jazzy feeling with more metal parts.
