An Enya album sounds like an Enya album, and this one is no different.

If you’ve dismissed Enya in the past, then "Dark Sky Island" is the perfect opportunity to embrace an artist who is so much loved, yet very much under-appreciated.

Much of the album is held back by rhythms that are all too foursquare.

"Dark Sky Island" is Enya operating at her most maximal and self-aware.

Back in ’88, Enya balanced out the ignominious “Orinoco Flow” with darker incantations like “Cursum Perficio.” Here, we get all sacred and no profane.
