Product Description
From Amazon.com
It was a tough act to beat when Irish group The Cranberries released the follow-up to their debut disc Everybody Else Is Doing It So Why Can't We, an interesting and intimate album highlighted by the memorable hit "Linger." Critics chided that Everybody was timid in nature both musically and lyrically, but No Need to Argue quickly changed all that. The 1994-released effort was decidedly more confrontational, instantly evident by the lyrics, inspired by the Irish conflict, in their hit "Zombie." In her trademark sharp alto, frontwoman Delores O'Riordan sings, "In your head they are fighting/With their tanks and their bombs/and their bombs and their guns." Since anger is more difficult to embrace than love, many fans were initially disappointed with the tougher stuff, but those who stayed discovered a much more emotionally layered effort. --Denise Sheppard
Chronique amazon.fr
Le cap du deuxième album pouvait s'avérer difficile pour les Irlandais des Cranberries, après un premier disque Everybody Else Is Doing It So Why Can't We intimiste et très réussi, qui contenait le hit mémorable "Linger". Les critiques avaient regretté la timidité de Everybody au plan musical comme au plan des paroles. Mais No Need to Argue devait effacer tout cela. Sorti en 1994, cet album est nettement plus direct avec ses paroles inspirées du conflit irlandais, sur le tube "Zombie". Avec sa voix alto très caractéristique, Delores O'Riordan chante ainsi : In your head they are fighting/With their tanks and their bombs/and their bombs and their guns. Comme la colère est plus difficile à appréhender que l'amour, de nombreux fans ont d'abord été déçus par ces chansons plus dures, mais ceux qui s'y sont fait ont pu découvrir un disque encore plus chargé d'émotion. --Denise Sheppard

The Best..

Format:Audio CD
The Cranberries sure do dominate with this album.
It's hands down one of best music albums ever. The lyrics are just great and the voice which is the best part about it. Simply Beautiful. Every song in this album is a good reason to buy this. It is every bit of what good music is was ment to be.

The best song though is Zombie from my opinion.
Over all if theres one album you wanna' waste your money on its No Need to Argue.
It's also one of the best albums The Cranberries have to offer.
Get this album...NOW!
Later
Still their best to date...

I'll never forget the first time I heard the songs Ode To My Family and Zombie. It was the night the Cranberries were the musical guests on Saturday Night Live. I was so captivated I bought the album the very next afternoon. It was truly amazing to listen to an album start to finish and enjoy almost every minute of it. The aforementioned tracks aside, I was really taken with Twenty One, The Icicle Melts, Dreaming My Dreams, and my personal favorite Ridiculous Thoughts. Loud to soft, innocent to political, this is the Cranberries most eclectic and best sounding album so far.

Quite simply put, this is the best CD I have ever owned. I fell in love with this CD when I bought it four years ago, and it has remained my favorite ever since.
Dreaming my Dreams, Empty, Daffodil Lament and No Need to Argue are some of the best songs by the Cranberries that were never released as singles, and all can be found on this cd. And of course, the singles that came off of it--Ode to My Family, Zombie, I Can't Be With You and Ridiculous Thoughts are all amazing, as well.
Although basically any album by the Cranberries is totally worth listening to, this one is arguably their best.

Hard to believe this CD is actually ten years old. I guess good music never gets old.

Truly one of the most outstanding albums of the 90's
Music bands come and go. Some come and stay for a long time. Others come for a brief moment and leave afterwards never to be heard from again. Read more

Pretty Good Album
I found this album lying around the house. I already knew "Zombie"(my favorite) was a cool song so I decided to give it a listen. The rest was not too shabby either. Read more
