It's a very good album, very zen. A mix of whimsical lyrics and a soft-spoken singer.

As each new Enya release has washed over all who have ears to hear, as each heaven-touched work leaves admirers sitting speechless in slack-jawed wonder, questions eventually come to mind: Might her layered, choral-like approach gradually become predictable or stale? Will she ever exhaust her deep reservoir of soul-stirring ideas? Remarkably, A Day Without Rain, Enya's fourth release since her 1988 breakthrough, Watermark, establishes new artistic heights for the gifted Irish vocalist and keyboardist. The project, polished and refined over a five-year period in the company of longtime collaborators Nicky Ryan (producer) and Roma Ryan (lyricist), may qualify as her best yet--a radiant, beatific collection of works that command attention with their cathedral-like resonance as they soothe your spirit with some of Enya's loveliest, most graceful voicings ever. The disc's opening three tracks (including the spellbinding "Only Time") form a gorgeous trilogy that suggest Enya has deepened her focus on the nexus where sophisticated pop and regal mysticism, the twin rivers of her singular sound, form a seamless intersection. The disc's gentle timbre is disturbed only once, and in memorable fashion, with "Tempus Vernum," a marshalling of mythic sonic forces that brings to mind the theme from the De Beers diamond commercial, but with a Celtic/Goth edge. Additional highlights abound. The closing "Lazy Days" will leave your soul dancing in a shower of flower petals and sunshine. A wonderful recording.

Enya is never out of form! This is some great stuff. Very soothing and comforting when you are in those depressed moods. Great vocals.

Enya Has Done It Again!!

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Straight off: A Day Without Rain, Wild Child, and Lazy Days are the very BEST ones. I know what you're thinking: What about Only Time? That became a huge hit when it was released advertising Friends and during 9-11. What is so interesting about this song with me is that I LOVED it until it became very popular. Weird isn't it? Anyhow, get this CD (or mp3 format) if you are able. This is another winner from Enya!"
