| And once again Frank Emmi doesn't play on this one, still Kelly Shaefer doing the guitar parts and vocals here. |

"where did that come from?"
Totally agree with this question (from review). |

|
| One of the most seasoned albums Ive ever heard...a must for every music fan. Im currently learning Tony Choys style, hes pretty fast and alot chord related riffs in his style which I love.... |

Man, you're review is all messed up 
Tony Choy didn't write the bass parts nor bring anything to the table. All the bass had already been written by Roger Patterson before he died. That's why the bass playing is so similar between this album and Piece of Time, but so different than Elements (because Choy writes it).
Kelly Shaefer writes most if not all of the guitar parts. He doesn't "grunt" anywhere either?
Other than those minor things, awesome review |

...
The reviewer doesn't say anywhere in this review that Tony Choy wrote any of the bass parts he just mentions that Choy's playing style is different to Patterson's and thereby that Choy adds a different layer to the music. |

Yes, it is a very good album, brilliant some would say. I say it: I think it's one of the best things I've heard. This is so diverse and appealing. It's really never boring to me. All the songs move up and down in their riffs and it keeps you interested.

Well fine then, he implies it when he said "The band gets a little funky in places. This is because of the whole slapping bass that Choy brings to the table from time to time". That's not from Choy doing anything other than playing Patterson's parts. Patteron plays the songs the same exact way on their demos before this album came out and he died. Don't get me wrong, Tony Choy is one of my favorite bass players, but Patterson is excellent also and deserves credit where it's due
Ana you rock
This album single-handedly changed my perspective of music forever, as well as my drumming style. |

I absolutely agree that Patterson deserves credit where credit's due. But listening to the retail versions of the songs and the demo versions there is IMO clearly a different sound to the bass playing. btw, I am also a great Choy fan.
As you can read here http://www.metalstorm.ee/pub/interview.php?interview_id=424 Roger was mentioned last year by Kelly a couple of times when I interviewed Kelly & Tony at Hellfest. |

| @Bitter Peace: Who really cares...you are being extremely anal...I see that you have written no reviews for Metalstorm...until you do, stop tearing mine apart thank you.... |

| Like I said, awesome review, but it just had some inaccuracies. I'm glad that you took the time to review it. I personally don't have the time nor patience to do reviews, and I appreciate it when others find the time to write them. |

| I see what you are getting at with Choy though now that I think about it...Choy is one of my favorite bassists...even though he is just following in Patterson's footsteps, he does make it his own... |

| That Album made me appreciate what is now called Technical Death Metal. Without Atheist I doubt I would've been into this genre at all. Their style, sound and originality is brilliant and Tony Choy is an incredible Bass Player. When I bought Unquestionable Presence I had never heard of the band it was a random pick on the shelves and I was still new to death metal... Never regreted that choice its one of my favorite albums and one that certainly influenced me the most. |
