The Cranberries Album: “Gold”
 Description :
From their smash debut album, EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING IT SO WHY CAN'T WE, to their breakup, the Cranberries were one of Ireland's most successful alternative rock bands. Fronted by the bewitching singer Delores O'Riordan, the Cranberries' hits ranged from the shimmering dream pop of "Linger" to the tougher rock attack of "Zombie." This comprehensive 32-track collection contains every Cranberries single, plus key album tracks and rarities, all in pristine remastered form.

- For those wanting to reach beyond the ¨STARS¨.
As far as compilations go, 2002's ¨Stars¨ was as good as they get. No holdouts, every single radio hit was there, so it made a perfect summary of the band's career for the casual fan. Purists complained that some of the songs were radio edits (which makes sense if you are cramming 20 tracks in one single disk) so in comes THE CRANBERRIES GOLD, where once again every hit is included along with many album tracks. But with 2 cds to fill out I can only feel that an oportunity was missed by not including killer covers the cranberries did early in their career for tribute albums like The Carpenter's ¨Close To You¨or Fleetwood Mac's ¨Go your own way¨ (both local hits in my territory). The ordinary Joe will still be better served by getting STARS, but those willing to explore the cranberries a bit more, look no further. 5 of 12 people found the following review helpful:
- Great compilation hindered by bad pricing...
The Cranberries were a force to be reckoned with in the 90s, with powerful lyrics and Dolores O'Riordan's amazing vocal deliveries.
While this is an excellent dollop of the best, not just the most famous, it fails in the pricing department. One of the great disappointments of the current digital music delivery trend is shown in the pricing of this album. As of today (8.22.09), the difference in pricing between the physical CD and the digital files is $0.78. It is time for the music industry to recognize that offering a 5% discount for not having any physical media is ridiculous.
The only reason a person would choose to purchase the digital version of this wonderful CD is because of a mad immediate gratification streak. On albums where the difference isn't at least 33% price reduction, I'm not going to make the mistake of getting purely digital delivery. I would encourage all of you to determine your required discount and cleave to it as you purchase music.

- The Cranberries Gold
Received the CD promptly in excellent condition. The Cranberries Gold is there best stuff. I bought it as a present for my daughter, she had only heard of one song (Zombie). She loves the whole CD, as well as my wife and son. |
