Album of the weekend

The Cranberries-To the Faithful Departed

I don't understand why people dislike or downplay The Cranberries. They were a great band that the nineties just sort of chewed up and spit out. They had a much more alternative rock based sound that their biggest hit  "Linger" made them out to have as well. You can't judge them based on that one song,

Listen to the song "Salvation" on this album. It's a great song and it's hard, fast, and very intense. It reminds me of "Zero" by the Smashing Pumpkins, another incredibly good song known for it's intensity and passion. Many people love the Pumpkins, not many people love the Cranberries. The other great song on this album is "I Just Shot John Lennon", which also has the same sound as "Zero" and "Salvation". Another song that is totally unlike their most "popular", top 40 songs.

The Cranberries are a great band and vastly underrated. I strongly advise giving them another chance.
