The second half of the '90s was difficult for the Cranberries, not just because of changing fashions, but because the group embraced both a social consciousness and a prog rock infatuation, crystallized by the Storm Thorgerson cover of Bury the Hatchet. Thorgerson has been retained for their fifth effort, Wake Up and Smell the Coffee, but the group has hardly pursued the indulgent tendencies of their previous collaboration with him – instead, they've re-teamed with producer Stephen Street and come up with an album that's as reminiscent of their debut as anything they've done since. So, even if it's wrapped in new clothing, this is essentially a return to basics, and it's a welcome one, since it's melodic, stately, and somber – perhaps not with the post-Sundays grace of "Linger," but with a dogged sense of decorum that keeps not just the group's musical excesses in check, but also O'Riordan's political polemics (although she still sneaks in cringe-inducing lines like "Looks like we've screwed up the ozone layer/I wonder if the politicians care").

Wake Up and Smell the Coffee is the fifth studio album by The Cranberries. Released on October 22, 2001, the album has sold 170,000 copies in the US as of April 2007. UK pressing of the Irish quartets fifth and final album from 2001 features three bonus tracks: In The Ghetto plus live versions of Dreams and Promises. Worldwide, the album sold 1,300,000 copies by 2002. Designer Storm Thorgerson, who also designed the cover of their previous album, "Bury the Hatchet", said: "The idea of red balls came from granules of coffee percolating the atmosphere, settling in your nose and waking you up. The version of the artwork featuring a man in bed on the beach is clearly indebted to another Thorgerson creation: Pink Floyd's A Momentary Lapse of Reason.

Reuniting with all their original members plus original producer Stephen Street just over a decade after their swan song Wake Up and Smell the Coffee, the Cranberries recapture the sound of their earliest records on 2012's Roses. Nearly 20 years have passed since their breakthrough Everybody Else Is Doing It So Why Can't We?, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that there are some signs of age on Roses, notably in an increased sense of professionalism in the band's craft and also in a slight stripping of the ethereal echo that gave their debut an appealing floating quality. Without this dreaminess, the Cranberries are merely pretty, but unlike the turgidly ambitious Bury the Hatchet and Wake Up and Smell the Coffee – or on Dolores O'Riordan's pair of perfectly fine solo albums – Roses has definition and momentum, momentum that doesn't derive from artificially enhanced electric guitars, either.

Gold is a compilation album from the Irish band The Cranberries, released as part of Universal Music's Gold series. Irish Alt-rockers, the Cranberries, became Top 40 superstars following the stateside release of their debut album, 1993's Everybody's Doing It So Why Can't We? The band's blend of Alternative Rock and dreamy Pop was the perfect musical backdrop for lead singer Dolores O'Riordan's distinct combination of brassy Rock vocals and ethereal crooning with the guitarist/bass Hogan brothers, Noel and Michael and drummer Fergal Lawler. Despite considerable chart success in excess of 40 million album sales, the Limerick based band went on a well deserved indefinite hiatus in the early 2000s.

Selected from the nine gigs that the pioneering Concert Live label recorded on their European tour, the Cranberries' 2010 sell-out gig at the Zenith de Paris shows that the Irish rock quartet have lost none of their spark during their nine-year hiatus. On a 21-track set (spread over three discs here), Dolores O'Riordan reveals her distinctive, lilting tones are still as powerful as ever, effortlessly switching from angst-ridden banshee on the crunching rock of their emotive signature hit "Zombie," and the anti-drug anthem "Salvation," to delicate, folky songstress on the beautifully nostalgic "Ode to My Family," and the shuffling acoustic ballad "You and Me." …
