Technichally, this is not a debut. The guys are ex-members of Slumber.

I know but it is AtomA's first record. Still amazing sound and production.

I'm going to give it a listen today, and seeing that Fallout is one of my favourite albums, I'll probably like this one very much as well.

Imagine Fallout stripped bare from all the Doom elements and you've got Skylight

I discovered that the hard way earlier today. Unimpressed, unfortunately.

Fortunately It's a grower, so don't give up on it fast unless you're not at all into electronica

I dont like electronica, but only the first track (ab)uses it, so I'll just skip that track from now on. The rest are very good.

Best album I've heard this year. Unfortunately, they will still not recieve the recognition they deserve. Just as Slumber is starting to gain some popluarity, they change their name. Very odd.

My expectations for this album were huge, because I am a big fan of Slumber's Fallout. And i must say that those expectations are fulfilled. The style is pretty different from Slumber's doom melodic death, this is more like atmospheric post-metal/prog or something like that. But what an awesome album. The atmosphere is just outstanding. For me, album of the year so far!

There's a lot of electonica on the album man. Just give it a go, the atmosphere is so good.

True, except for the first song. That one is pure piss.

Hmmm looks interesting, should check this one out.

Amazing album...
The song "Skylight" just banged my head...

Amazing...

A question, hoping our Persian friends can answer:

What is the lyrics of the song "Skylight" ?
I just noticed خورشیدم میاد پایین
but i couldn't realize the rest.

Any help would be appreciated

Well, after sending an email to Ehsan, he posted me the lyrics.
Here it is:

تبر به سر
می ریم به شب
خورشید را بیار پایین

He said it is written by his 7 year old cousin when he asked her to describe her feelings about the end of the world. It's exactly her words.

And for our non-Persian friends, i would translate the words:

"With axes on our heads,
we march through the night.
Bring down the Sun."

Thanks a lot for the info, dude!!!
This album is awesome!!!

Meh, I liked it at first. But more listens only left me more unimpressed.

Beautiful melodies and captivating atmospheres. I wonder why is this band among the invisible ones here on MS?

I wanna die listening to this album,sure gonna commit my suicide with Skylight...

That atmosphere is really superb, despite that though my interest in the album seems to wane towards the end.

One of the best CDs I own and I own 500+.

I was really impressed with the first playthrough. Though the magic wears off after a couple of spins. Still a very good album though!

Hole In The Sky its masterpiece i love this band

Very cool album I must say, I really liked it. I've only done a couple of spins so not sure if the doc's words hold true.

Star-tling music. But why this album is not in top with so high rating?(

It's already No. 1 for 2012, but the album needs at least 200 votes to get into the top 200 of all-time.

Cool!:)

Spin number 200, still wonderful and unreal!!

Ex-Slumber members, don't expect less than awesome.
