Overview Edit

Bury the Hatchet was the fourth album by The Cranberries, released in 1999. All lyrics by Dolores O'Riordan, and all music by Noel Hogan and Dolores O'Riordan except tracks 3, 8, 10 and 13 by Dolores O'Riordan. In the US, the album has sold 377,000 copies as of April 2007.

It's the first album released by the band after their (first) hiatus which started back in 1996. Dolores had taken that time to heal from stress-induced diseases, and also had her first child, Taylor, during this period. This last fact reflected on some of the tracks in the album, mainly on "Animal Instinct" and "You and Me".

The themes of the songs vary, from maternity and children, to divorce and child abuse.

4 stars "Bury the Hatchet" takes time...
"Bury the Hatchet", the fourth major Cranberries CD, is a unique look into their music. It demands several listenings, before it can be appreciated.

It's not that The Cranberries have taken a musical 180, its just that their presentations have changed. Completely secure in their ablilties, they do not seek to fit an image, and this album proves it! Don't get me wrong though, this is a really …

3 stars i had expected better
for any other artist, this would have gained more starts from me, but measured with my expectation it's three starts. i love 'animal instinct' and dolores' voice is good as ever, tbu the lyrics are so superficial and impersonal. i don't get why dolores claims she's ashamed of their last album being so depressed. It was much better than this one. Still, 'NO NEED TO ARGUE' is their best one, with every song a hit..buy that one if you haven't yet. This one is nice so far, but they're the Cranberries...you know?
