Jul 1, 2013I do not know why almost all critics did not like this album. Enya made a masterpiece for new age lovers. For some reason it won a Grammy, didn't it? It'll make you go into a relax atmosphere every time.

RalphWMay 1, 2003Enya's songs are some of the best ever recorded. They allow you to really get into the music. They are relaxing. Everyone should appreciate beautiful music.

JackO.Jul 23, 2001Enya's "A Day Without Rain," while having a few mediocre peices, is one of my favorites.

S.M.MitchellFeb 20, 2003Enya brings an astounding amount of comfort and soothing sounds to the temples of our heads. With the hardcore hype, and te cliche` lyrics from random bands, Enya is a nice change to go to for ultimate relaxation.

HarryMDec 7, 2005Enya is a delight to listen to. Her voice is amazingly controlled and she doesn't scream her lyrics. I'm intrigued by the fact that Enya composes, plays and sings all her songs.

PrometheusJun 16, 2007One of enya's better album. I'm not sure what the critics are smoking but it must be affecting their judgment skills. There is no good reason while this should be so poorly reviewed.

LoriPOct 22, 2001My 2 year old son wanted her CD. He would tell everyone in the car to be quiet when he would hear "A Day Without Rain" because he enjoyed the melody so much. I bought the CD and he begs to play it everytime we're in the car. Thank you Enya, for allowing my son to have a greater appreciation for music.

EdwinS.Oct 22, 2001Of all the Enya albums I have heard, this new album sounds like a "modern" Enya. Gone are the many strange, esoteric Latin lyrics. I find her melodies more gentler and with only a little little bit of Celtic in it--which is good because she doesn't seem to brainwash and transform the whole world into a Celtic music cult movement.

SteveTAug 30, 2002I don't know what some of the other critics are talking about?In a time when bubblegum pop and shallow hiphop rule mainstream, Enya gives us a fresh and inspiring alternative. The above critics are way off in this one

weiyuancSep 4, 2004i generally hate pop and the like, and live in my own world of classical music. enya has demonstrated a refreshing change in modern music, incorporating meaningful lyrics and polyphony, which raises its musical value. its definitely much better than other types of music ive listened to (and swore not to listen again) and i hence rate it 8.

GlennPJan 14, 2005I loved it! Relaxation is the word for this music. Some complain that Enya doesn't change from album to album. I say "when it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

AbbyWMay 16, 2005I loved A Day Without Rain. I like this album so much that I listen to it every day. This was the first Enya album I listened to. I am absolutely going to listen to all her other albums now.

DesireeO.Nov 26, 2001I haven't heard the whole cd yet but I'm impressed with Enya's song Only Time. For some reason it brings tears to my eyes everytime I listen to it. I'm hoping to get the cd and I'm sure it's going to be a great album.

DeanK.Oct 14, 2001This is the best music I ever heard, Enya is numero uno !!! I woould like to change my vote from 10 to 10,000 she deserves it all.

JessicaL.Nov 23, 2003Enya rocks. She doesn't follow the trend to dabble in other types of music to keep up with the other bands, she sings what she feels not what she wants people to like.

monicasDec 31, 2004I found "aday without rain" to be very safisticated and it helped me through a hardtime in my life when i would have given up hope of ever finding true happyness.

LucindaTMar 12, 2004What can I say, but Enya is great! It's a relief to hear such beautiful, uplifting music, instead of just more of the factory-produced meaningless pop, rap etc. that most my peers listen to (I'm 16). Anyone who says Enya is redoing things over should just take a look at the repetitive, monotone songs on the music charts today.

ElizabethRSep 28, 2004this is a wonderful album to listen to when you are reading or working because it relaxes you

JonathanCNov 22, 2005Enya, once again makes an amazing album with some soothing, some energentic, but all wonderful pieces of music that are perfect for different settings. Whether your reading a book your fond of or, just relaxing after a tough day at the office, Enya will bring you to a new world for hal an hour...and if you have her other cd's you will have just as much enjoyment.

Awards & Rankings

Enya keeps the comfort factor high with several compositions that are arguably descendants of her 1989 pop hit, "Orinoco Flow." She steps outside of that zone on the first single, "Only Time," an elegant effort that is wrapped in soothing harmonics fondly reminiscent of vintage Beach Boys tunes...
-
Self-seriousness and artistic water-treading aside, there's nothing wrong with A Day Without Rain. It's just that few households need more than an hour or so of Enya music, and Shepherd Moons and Watermark serve that purpose far more effectively.

Entertainment WeeklyUnless you're bound in an herbal body wrap, there's simply no acceptable reason to listen to this New Age nonsense. [11/24/2000, p.82]
