Hopefully they get my Amazon review published soon. It's been a couple of days.

I want people to see it soon and I hope I wrote it well enough to help Celtic Woman sell some albums.

Maybe the choice to have Megan sing pop songs at medium registers instead of showing off her classical range and power was a wise one. Megan's voice has soothing beauty to it, but it's also filled with reassuring strength. The style of her solos on the album use those qualities in her voice. So even if the album doesn't showcase all the astonishing things her voice is capable of, she is a pleasure to listen to.

By the way, my Amazon review is finally up!

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/customer-reviews/R27MLZ84V7FA5X/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B07GW3XF7Y

In addition to quick delivery, getting a copy from Amazon was important because it facilitated getting a verified purchaser review up. It's not US Amazon and in hightsight, that would have been a better (though more expensive) choice for getting the review seen by people clicking on the album within Amazon. But Google should get people to it so it should still help.

I voted for the 4 that are my faves and that I keep singing along to.

Speaking of which, any chance we can get the lyrics to Follow Me? It's my favorite song and I wanna know what they're singing!

I just read someone's comment on one of Celtic Woman's Facebook posts that the harmony on Ancient Land was no good.

Uh...what exactly were they listening to???  :P

I know people have different tastes and I don't want to judge, but how is the harmony on Mná Na hÉireann, Homeland, Long Journey Home, etc. not good???  ::)

I'm unsure where they're coming from.

I don't know what they were expecting to hear, but the harmony seemed pretty awesome to me.

I feel sad that some people don't even give it a chance, or give it a chance and just don't like it for some reason.

But it really riles me up when people start saying stuff that I strongly disagree with (and don't understand).

While seeing people criticize the performers is the most hurtful thing to me, criticism the harmony (a quality pivotal to the group's success over the years), is probably even more damaging overall. It could discourage people from even getting the album or giving it a listen online. It just take one person spreading that kind of stuff to dissuade hundreds or thousands of casual or on-the-fence fans from getting it.

People have a right to their opinions, but some of those comments really offend me.

I saw that comment too and do not understand it at all. What in the world were they listening to? The harmony is outstanding! I try to remind myself that people can have their own opinions, but reading those hurtful comments upsets and offends me too.

I must say, though, that in spite of a few dissenting opinions, most of the reactions to this album I've seen have been quite positive. ;D

It's nice to see that Mná Na hÉireann is winning the poll with 8 votes right now.  Éabha, Megan, Mairéad, and Tara also said it is their unanimous favorite song in this recent video:

Love love love this album! My desire to listen to it over and over and over on repeat has not faded and it's been out nearly 2 months.  Every song is amazing! Yeah, I'll be watching the concert over and over and over as soon as it's in my DVR next week!

It's really hard picking just 4 favorite songs from Ancient Land! All of the songs on the album are so amazing!

I got to watch the show for the first time last night and really thought it was great im thinking I like it better then most of the other shows. I think Megan is going to give Mairead a run for the strongest voice she has a great stage presents. I think the sales of the CD's and DVDs will sore now that the show is being shown
