Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? [Audio CD] The Cranberries

Description

Their first full-length shows a band fully formed, with faint debts to the Sundays and the Smiths, but turning out more-than-tuneful pop behind the gorgeous lilt of Dolores O’Riordan. “Dreams” and “Linger” both seem to weave magic spells that remain even after the tracks pass, and there is a glorious freshness to the performances that’s impossible to resist. It remains their most satisfying outing. –Chris Nickson
