    A Day Without Rain
    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...

    A Lively Mind
    Too many tracks meander aimlessly without finding the perfect beat.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces
    Morgan simply lets his rage rock, infusing the album with the same kind of active/ alt-rock straddling approach that's vaulted Seether's previous releases to gold status.

    What this channel lacks is true feeling and originality.

    Hefty Fine
    No, kids, it's not that scatological jokes aren't funny, just that these scatological jokes aren't funny.

    Pru
    Picking up the lyrical gauntlet thrown down by such neo-soul sistahs as Angie Stone, Jill Scott, and musical influence/labelmate Rachelle Ferrell, this Houston-bred singer/songwriter sparkles with colorfully imaged songs about love won, lost, and anticipated -- laid against an R&B backdrop rhythmically punctuated with hip-hop, Latin, pop, jazz, rock, and country.

    Teen Spirit
    A baker's dozen's worth of featherlight ditties that range in quality from guilty pleasures to already-dated clunkers.

    Scattered, Smothered and Covered
    As projects of this nature go, this is a remarkably cohesive, high-quality set. For the most part, the material is appealing, if not terribly memorable.

    Peggy's Blue Skylight
    The former Police guitar whiz surpasses himself with this survey of Charles Mingus as he gives the great man's compositions an utterly individual spin.
