5 out of 5 stars Brilliant.......2007-01-03

Discerning which is Clannad's best album isn't easy ... "Anam", "Banba" and "Landmarks" are all very worthy contenders, but I think "Lore" is the best of the lot, albiet by a small margin, as their albums are very consistent.

There are certainly no weak tracks here. Opening with the brilliant, dark and atmosphereic "Croi Croga", followed by the upbeat and feelgood "Seanchas", the album continues without letting up on beautiful moods that are deeply moving, right through to the end.

I hope Clannad continue to release albums, as the world needs inspiring music like this. An absolutely great album.

4 out of 5 stars pop mixed with gealic melodies...........GORGEOUS!!!!!!.......2006-03-05

"broken pieces" and "farewell love" are absolute
priceless gems off this cd. excellent
harmonies! clannad has won awards around the globe deservingly so. their music is gentle and soothing. maire brennan, lead singer of clannad, is the older sister of ENYA.
they have also made film music, notably for harrison ford's "patriot games" and others.
all their albums are good, try any one of them and relax.
if you love enya, you'll love her family.....CLANNAD.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful stuff.......2003-08-01

This is one of my very favorite Clannad releases! Outstanding tracks include Croi Croga, Seanchas, A Bridge That Carries Us Over, From Your Heart, Alasdair MacColla, Trathnona Beag Areir (especially haunting) and Dealramh Go Deo. The Gaelic songs are great for those trying to learn some Gaelic, especially the Donegal Gaeltacht. Buy it!

3 out of 5 stars Good, not great and not their best.......2003-04-25

Strangely enough, this is not a 'best of' compilation, which Clannad seems fond of releasing. In the case of "Lore", an anthology would be better advised. Track two, 'Seanchas' and eight, 'Trail of Tears', rise above the rest of this CD. Clannad is good; no doubt that the Brennan/Duggan quartet is strongly gifted and talented. In particular, Maire Brennan's voice sometimes sound ethereal and beautifully other-worldly, but "Lore" isn't a particularly strong showcase of their collective and individual talents. "A Magical Gathering" would be better recommended, even though it is one of the 'best of' anthologies.

5 out of 5 stars Good Stuff.......2003-03-29

I have listened to a LOT of this group, and I must say that this is Clannad at their best. Though Clannad has a tendency to repeat songs on consecutive CD's, this one is refreshingly devoid of that. Croi Croga, the very first track, is among the best on the album, and Alasdair MacColla is among the best I've ever heard. Other excellent songs include Trail of Tears and From Your Heart, but there is nothing worse than "good" on this CD. This is truly a great from a great group.
