Atheist's Elements is the only album that's done jazz-metal right in my opinion, and it's been hell trying to find another act that can stack up. Cynic kinda does it, but it's as proggy (in feel) as it is jazzy. Aghora has it's moments, and my opinion may be biased due to the circumstances of me finding them, but I agree that they're kinda boring... first album definitely better.
