Product Description

From Amazon.com

On the heels of their smash debut, the brilliantly titled Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?, and the even more popular follow-up, No Need to Argue, the Cranberries fell victim to the same bad instincts as a thousand ascendant pop stars before them--they started taking themselves way too seriously. The dreary, self-important To the Faithful Departed was the result, and fans that had thrilled to the gossamer melodies of "Linger" and "Dreams" or the powerful crunch of "Zombie" abandoned the group in droves. They might want to reconsider. Bury the Hatchet is a welcome return to form that focuses on sweeping melodies and soaring vocals while leaving the grand pronouncements to those more suited to making them--Zack de la Rocha, say, or, at the very least, Bono. Bury the Hatchet is brimming with gorgeous tunes such as "Animal Instinct," "Saving Grace," "You and Me," and the delicate "Shattered." "Promises" and "Delilah," meanwhile, are feisty rockers, showing off Dolores O'Riordan's keening voice and confirming the band's ability to play to the back rows. --Daniel Durchholz

3.0 out of 5 stars #4 is not so bad..., May 21 2004

This is definitely an album made for those who are already major fans of the Cranberries. It very much makes use of the sound and lyrics we as fans recognize as Dolores O' Riordan. If you're just getting into them I recommend sticking with "Everyone Else is Doing it So Why Can't We?" or better yet "No Need To Argue". The best three songs on this album can be found on "Stars-Cranberries Greatest Hits" so that would probably be the best route to take if you're not a die-hard fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars simply the BEST Cranberries effort since "No Need To Argue", April 27 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Bury The Hatchet (Audio CD)

I've been a Cranberries fan since the days of "Everyone else is doing it, so why can't we?" and from then onward.

While the first two efforts were outstanding, I felt that the group began to drift in a different, not bad, just different direction for their follow up to "No Need To Argue" titled "To The Faithful Departed."

While they kept the clever creativity in titles, and phrases, nothing seemed to spark me as much as it did in the past, until the release of their fourth album simply titled "Bury The Hatchet."

At first listen to the beginning strums of the guitar in the light-rock edged "Animal Instinct" till the very last piano key hit on "Dying In The Sun", the album in my personal opinion is an amazing journey, and their best effort to this date. However, they have slowed down some, meaning, you won't find political moving statements such as "Zombie", or the tearful heartwrenching emotion such as in "Dreams", but it is still addicting none-the-less. And who says, those who have moved audinences many times before in the past don't deserve to have a good day every now and then? Delores has been through a lot in her life, and for once, its nice to hear the change in music and hear her sing not only about the bad in her life and for the freedom of her country, but now she also sings about her good days too...and for those who can't accept it and just realize that The Cranberries are all about the music, then I feel sorry for you, you shouldn't be so hard on her, because in all honesty, you don't even have to be a hardcore fan (which I am) to enjoy this album. Its just plain and simple, amazing music with a good message that rocks!

just listen for yourself.
