Clannad
Banba
Trite and disingenuous
Review Score:
(2/10)Comparisons to Enya are apt; this is new-agey pop music for soccer moms. Clannad are no doubt technically accomplished musicians, but the songs on "Banba" are so saccharine, overproduced, and self-consciously folky that they're basically unlistenable.
There is one pleasant exception: there is genuine emotion in "Na Laethe Bhi", demonstrating that they *can* write a decent song when they put aside the formulas and clichés. But that's far from being enough to save this album.
