Album notes
The Cranberries: Dolores O'Riordan (vocals, acoustic guitar); Noel Hogan (guitar, background vocals); Mike Hogan (bass); Feargal Lawlor (drums, percussion).
Additional personnel: Mike Mahoney (background vocals).
Recorded at Windmill Studios, Dublin, Ireland.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
The Cranberries, more so than almost any contemporary group now coming out of Ireland, translate the lyric delicacy and metaphorical melancholy of Gaelic folk music to a rock format. The Cranberries are a tight little band with a sound all their own, though at times many of their songs do suggest some sort of strange communion between U2 and Bjork.
How so? The gossamer strains of Noel Hogan's electric guitar recall The Edge's spacy chording, but Hogan's rhythmic focus tends more towards eclectic folk stylings (a la Richard Thompson) than the arena gestures of rock. Which isn't to say that his dancing interplay with bassist Mike Hogan and drummer Feargal Lawlor lacks impact. Quite the contrary. Songs such as "Dream" and "Waltzing Back" illustrate the band's special chemistry and harmonic buoyancy, as airy chording gives way to punchy riffs and gruff power chords.
But it is The Cranberries remarkable vocalist Dolores O'Riordan who defines the band's unique sound and broad appeal. O'Riordan has an eccentric, emotive style and a stunning vocabulary of guttural whoops and throttled cries (to particular effect on "Pretty"). On "I Still Do" she doubletracks her breathless voice (as she does throughout EVERYBODY ELSE...), creating a mournful melodic ambience as the band rises to match her emotional peaks in a tale of a played out love that will not die.
This plaintive tone of O'Riordan resonates throughout EVERYBODY ELSE IS DOING IT, SO WHY CAN'T WE? "You mystify me, you mystify me" she intones dimly as if in a haze on "Sunday" as the band tolls away behind her, while on "Waltzing Back" her yodeling cries and muttered grace notes impart tremendous power to each phrase in this clannish dance.

Editorial reviews
Included in Rolling Stone's Essential Recordings of the 90's.
Rolling Stone  (05/13/1999)

...what really makes the Cranberries stand out is singer Dolores O'Riordan...a Stephen Street production job which makes even the Smiths seem uncompromisingly dense....A remarkable album by a remarkable band...
Alternative Press  (07/01/1993)

...The Cranberries are Quiet Storm music for the alternative-rock generation... - Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly  (06/04/1993)

4 Stars - Excellent - ...softly stroked guitars tenderized by a female voice of exceptional merit....deliciously spine-shivering moments....the melodies are festooned with dreamy hooks...
Q  (04/01/1993)

Included in Q's list of 'The 50 Best Albums Of 1993' - ...creeps up on your consciousness and stubbornly refuses to leave....
Q  (01/01/1994)

...entrancing tunefulness [with] Dolores O'Riordan's vocal audacity...they've accomplished a sharp, self-aware debut....
Rolling Stone  (12/23/1993)

 Nice condition on disc, liner notes, and case. Check out my other auctions and sales.  They are not in order by genre so I encourage you to check the whole list.  First CD ships via USPS First Class and will arrive very quickly.  Add $1 shipping for each additional disc purchased.  Please pay within a few days of your first purchase.  2CD+ orders go via USPS Media Mail.  This takes a bit longer (2-9 days).  Canada orders: $5 shipping for first disc; $1.50 each additional (7-10 days delivery after shipment). I ship orders on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (holiday weeks may vary).  As my feedback shows, most people are very happy with the speed of service.  If shipping does not calculate correctly at checkout, just add up what it is supposed to be and edit the shipping charge field.  If you prefer, you can contact me, and I will be happy to send an invoice with the correct charge.  I try to match CD's to the description as close as possible and note discrepancies.  If a particular detail (i.e. country of origin, record label, year of issue, remastered or not) is important to you, please contact me.  For orders outside of the US and Canada, please contact me and will let you know the shipping cost.  It will usually be $5-$7 for the first disc but varies depending upon a variety of factors.  International Customers:  Please ask about shipping cost without jewel cases.  Often, for larger orders, having them shipped without jewel cases will cut the shipping charge in half.
