neiljdennis's Full Review: Bury the Hatchet (The Complete Sessions 1998-99) [...
The Cranberries have come full circle. After expending every ounce of political protest they had in their last two albums, they have returned to their pop rock roots with Bury the Hatchet. Though not as forceful as either No Need to Argue or To the Faithful Departed,
the latest effort from these Limerick, Ireland natives still packs quite a bit of punch. Power pop ballads such as “Promises” and “Copycat,” brilliantly infuse elements of the band’s previous grunge leanings with some serious 80s pop melodies. Other songs such as “Loud and Clear” and “You and Me” recall the Cranberries’ first album Everybody Else is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? through sweeping orchestral and Gaelic folk backdrops. Only the album’s opening and closing tracks (“Animal Instinct” and “Dying in the Sun,” respectively) blemish the proceedings via lead singer Dolores O’Riordan’s overwrought wailing and guitarist Noel Hogan’s droning acoustic work. But even with these instances of obstinate folly, the Cranberries still do an fine job nonetheless.
