Editorial Review:
To many people, Enya has become synonymous with new age music. Her haunting voice, clear and crisp above richly woven musical arrangements and adaptations, represents some of the best in the genre. Her performances on The Memory of Trees justify the Celtic songster's reputation. Songs like "China Roses" and "Hope Has a Place" complement the simple elegance of traditional folk music with luxuriantly layered instrumentation and highly crafted studio production. The ultimate effect is dazzling, to be sure. Whether she sings in English, Gaelic, or Latin, Enya conveys a profound, if slightly disconcerting, mix of spirituality and sensuality. --L.A. Smith

Rating:  - The album cover says it all.
Enya sitting on a golden throne?
A little pretentious I think.
Enya conquered the world with Sheppard Moon and Watermark.
I think she got too cocky and careless with this one.
She tried to replicate the sound of those albums and comes up short.
The disc comes across and dull and uninspired.
I was hoping the next disc would be a return to form.
Sadly, Enya seems content to make the same album over and over and over................. each one as unmemorable ... Read More

At first listening to this CD, the music sounds a lot like that on the Watermark album. But upon a second listening, the music sounds different, though of the same style. The tone and pace of the music on this album is similar to that of other albums, but the melodies are different. This album has both instrumental and singing, and both are enjoyable. This album makes for great background music, whether over dinner, eating, or napping.
Rating:  - 4.5; music to dream to
Enya, despite being a successful recording artist, doesn't have the broad appeal as other artists; one reason might be that her kind of music is not very pop station friendly while another reason could be people think they're too "macho" for music that she makes. But people with open minds could find there's some beautiful melodies and harmonies as well as lively, upbeat tunes that are a joy to put on. I find the Memory of Trees to be one of her most consistent albums; plus it helps it has probably ... Read More

i love all of enya, and im pretty sure i own everything by her. this is definitely one of my favorite cds by Enya. Her singing is wonderful and the music is just great. I love playing it at night when i go to bed; it seems to calm down my puppy so he doesn't get too restless at night, plus i just like hearing it on. My favorite songs are On My Way Home and China Roses.

Rating:  - So so so Boring and uninspired
I love Watermarket and Shepperd Moons but this record is just pure boredom, I am very disappointed, I cannot listen to it without getting this feeling of stupidity due to the constant repetition of the musical lines. That's not music, its boredom. Get Watermark instead.
