  1. 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...

I will never understand what went through the critics' minds when rating this album, it's an actual masterpiece. It became one of the best selling albums of 2001 following the 9/11 attacks, and once you listen to it it's just no wonder why. It then went on to win the Grammy for Best New Age album, but I have a feeling it would've fit quite well within the Album Of The Year category too. Personal favorites are Wild Child, One By One, Lazy Days and Only Time. Full Review »
