Explaining the album title, the pair has said "…because love bites harder than any other emotion in the world."

The Cranberries: No Need to Argue (30th Anniversary Edition)
Not a popular opinion, but No Need to Argue is not my favorite The Cranberries album. I prefer the later records, particularly the Bury the Hatchet-era, when I felt the band was in top-form and understood how to write blockbuster songs. Still, No Need to Argue is important because this is the band’s breakout record.

Flashback: Superdrag at 400 Bar, Minneapolis (December 4, 2000)
