You know I’m such a fool for The Cranberries. After years in the making, Island Records and UMe, is finally releasing The Cranberries’ MTV Unplugged on CD, vinyl, and digital. The recording was released on Friday (November 7, 2025).
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.
Dolores O'Riordan (ex-frontswoman of the Cranberries) has a new album out in May '07, called Are You Listening?. Her record company, Santuary, decided to release her new single in North America only. And only on iTunes. I have a problem with this, I really don't like region-locking and I don't like iTunes' DRM. I will probably wait to get it on CD anyway.
