On BURY THE HATCHET the band achieves the perfect marriage between luxurious pop stylings and a darker, more unsettling vision. Dolores O'Riordan's strong, clear voice rides smoothly over simple, engaging melodies fleshed out by a chiming blend of acoustic and electric guitars for much of the album. But on songs like "Promises," the guitars get heavier, and the mood turns darker, showing a deeper side of the Cranberries' work. No matter the darkness expressed in the lyrics though, the invigorating, upbeat strum and crack of the guitars and drums keeps things moving at a good clip. And that occasional catch in O'Riordan's voice is just arresting enough to draw you in, without ever seeming like an affectation or a distraction.

Editorial Reviews
...Ms. O'Riordan and her merry men have now turned their rapier-keen wits to the existential realities or ordinary, everyday life...
Mojo

...their best album to date....no drop-off in quality between the record's strongest tracks and the rest of the album....the band's most complete work yet.
Guitar Magazine (19990701)

...sweet shimmering ballads and tart, distorted jangle-pop....the Cranberries pack strings into their lush, Smith-inspired rock to really hit their mark.
CMJ (19990426)

3 Stars (out of 5) - ...shimmering pop numbers...and earnest acoustics...These youthful old pros have never sounded more winning or unified.
