There's no such thing as bad Van Morrison. Album to album, he's about as consistent as you get. "Hymns to the Silence" is a tough to find, currently (2-7-08) out of print double CD set. Many Van Morrison CD's are being re-issued at this time, but I've not seen any plan to make "Hymns" available. The music on these CD's cover a lot of the styles that Van Morrison has explored over the years. It's not confined to any one approach. If anything, you might be able to say that this is a bit towards the more mellow side of Van Morrison...these are songs that deal with spirituality for the most part, but that aspect doesn't smack you over the head, though I suppose it does lend itself to a more gentle presentation. If you like Van Morrison, you can't go wrong here. Be ready for this to be fairly pricey since it's not easy to find.Read full review
I love Van Morrison and this is a good one. I wish the second CD was with it. Less than the store.

If you have a dedicated Pandora station called "Van Morrison", you want this album. Having been a fan for forty years I've listened while Mr. Morrison evolved his genius and this album is,to me,the culmination of that evolution. It is OOP but widely available at resellers sites. Buy it,you will be very satisfied.
Best Van album of his career! Great music and thought provoking lyrics. A masterpiece!
