i have that Atheist but haven't heard it yet

lemme do so and i'll get back to you

ok heard it:-

i have to say i love both albums completely and initially, jazz-fusion metal doesn't make much sense to me but i've grown to like it

Atheist

the more "conventional" of the two, the guitars are still pretty much in the death metal tradition, with the rhythm section showing traces of jazz and even funk, the vocals are a bit too clean for my liking, and i don't really like the scales of the solos, which are often Lydian and Mixolydian in the death metal tradition

Cynic

this one is love at first listen, the vocals generally creepy, and the jazz elements stronger, sounding they've been listening a lot to Mahavishnu Orchestra, a lot of stuff here done which I thought was never possible in metal

so:-

Cynic - 1
Atheist - 0
