From "Dreams" and the breakthrough hit "Linger" to the sometimes harder-rocking and more political efforts such as "Zombie" and "Free to Decide," and on to more melodic songs later on, the singles (presented here in some cases in single versions or new edits to fit everything in) make a case for the Cranberries as one of the major international rock bands of the '90s. Tracks 19 & 20 are previously unreleased and recorded in Miami at Criteria Hit Factory Studios on June 3-6 2002.įor the Cranberries, assembling a best-of covering the first decade of their career means compiling their singles in chronological order, which turns out to be a foolproof approach for a band that can be uneven over the course of a full-length album but has always managed to express itself well on the two-to-four catchiest cuts. This is a sample of Cranberries music across 5 albums. As there are 20 tracks on the album we used a number of different single versions of several songs, plus created a few new edits. Two brand new tracks were recorded specially for this album. "Hollywood" and "You and Me" were only released in certain countries but never the less have been included. This 20 songs compilation encompasses 10 years of singles released during the Cranberries career. This finally gave O'Riordan the time she needed to work on her long-talked-about solo album, and Are You Listening hit shelves in 2007.The Cranberries - Stars: The Best Of 1992-2002 (2002)ĮAC Rip | FLAC (Img) + Cue + Log ~ 607 Mb | MP3 CBR320 ~ 211 MbĪlternative Rock | Island Records #063277-2 In 1999, the group released Bury the Hatchet, and in 2003, shortly after the release of a greatest-hits compilation, Stars: The Best of 1992-2002, the Cranberries officially declared that they were taking a break. During the fall of 1996, the group canceled its Australian and European tour, sparking another round of rumors about whether O'Riordan was about to launch a solo career. Upon its spring 1996 release, the album entered the charts at number six, but its first single, 'Salvation,' failed to become a hit on par with 'Zombie,' 'Linger,' or 'Ode to My Family.' Consequently, the album slipped down the charts relatively quickly and only went platinum, which was slightly disappointing in light of its two predecessors' multi-platinum status. The resulting album, To the Faithful Departed, was a tougher, more rock-oriented album. Nevertheless, the rumors persisted until the Cranberries began recording their next album with producer Bruce Fairbairn, who had previously worked with Aerosmith. ![]()
