So so beautiful. It's very calming.
Aaron H gave it a9:
I at first was dissapointed with the same issue as others have had, the "I've heard this before." problem. While at first I wasn't impressed, after repeated listeningings, I've grown rather fond of it and commonly listen to it while I work.
Stuart T gave it an8:
Not as good as previose albums could have been better, however, could have been alot worse. Lets hope it will not take Enya another five years to bring out another album.
Anthony S gave it a10:
It never fails to astound me how often the media misses shining stars like this cd and instead glorifies the albums that won't last more than two or three years. Enya will be around for the next 50 years and onward, this album was no exception. 5 stars, no question. Her words are profound and striking. While at first you may not notice them, once you realize what she's saying it really hits home.

Best album of this year.
Kay S gave it a10:
Just what I expect from Enya. Only Enya could make me want to cry with one song and feel at peace with myself with the next. Enya is able to evoke may great feeling in her readers. I love every single song on the album but the songs Long Long Journey as it reminds me of my circumstances and Amarantine are my favorites.. Btw whats wrong with having an album extremely calming and refreshing? I fail to see the problem. These song are way better than the rap, hip hop and soul I listen to.
