Well, the cranberries are currently number one in MTV latin's Top 20, for the Mexico are of it, they are also artist of the month here, and they are having tons of airplay everywhere, showing that they can be so popular over here, yesterday the broadcast the Unplugged, and also a special thing called The cranberries present, which was taped in NYC, for MTV latino, there the band presented some videos by Metallica (Turn the page), Depeche mode, Radiohead, Eurythmics, U2, Beastie Boys, and others as well as Promises, there's also that interview that was made the same day, that they pass at Prime time, but I always missed it.. In that interview the berries state that they'll visit Latin America in less than 6 months ( I cross my fingers, cause I won't make it to the LA concert because of finals, and I had 2nd row tickets), but anyway, I think that the berries are doing quite good over here, the CD was released on Monday, and it's made in Mexico, and has a sticker that say's "Strickly prohibited to be for sale in the USA", I think mainly it's because it has Sorry son in it, there are some magazines, well tons of them now, with reviews, and all of them are good, so I think the berries are going OK in this part of the world... Miguel if you wanna check the MTV latino top 20 you can go to: http://www.mtvla.com and there you follow the link tha says Musica, and there you have both Top 20 and Artist of the month... - --------------------------------------------------------------- This is the Ridiculous Thoughts Mailing List Send posts to : cranlist@smoe.org Send unsubscribe requests to: cranlist-request@smoe.org Put "unsubscribe" in the BODY of the message.

The Limerick, Ireland, quartet's fourth album gives in to their solid melodic insticts once and for all. Amid the simple, shimmering pop numbers ("Animal Instict," "You And Me," "Saving Grace") and earnest acoustics ("Shattered"), the Cranberries goof on rhythm and singer Dolores O'Riordan tempers her harsh Celctic nasalities. "Desperate Andy" bounces and dips tirelessly; "Loud and Clear" features silly lyrics ("People are stranger/People in danger") and a vaguely ska beat; "Just My Imagination" could pass for "Our House" drained of Madness' wacky stridency. The band's arena-size arrangements pump these modest tunes -- "Copycat" races like "Salvation" did, without that single's self-righteousness, and "Delilah" pounds away mercilessly. On "Promises," O'Riordan sounds characterisically shrill and perky while guitar chords whang and the drums audition for Survivor. These youthful old pros have never sounded more winning or unified. woo :) EE is also listed in the same issue (for May 13) as one of the 150 Greatest Albums, with a short review of the album. - --------------------------------------------------------------- This is the Ridiculous Thoughts Mailing List Send posts to : cranlist@smoe.org Send unsubscribe requests to: cranlist-request@smoe.org Put "unsubscribe" in the BODY of the message.

The band had sold 23 million albums and become the top Irish group since U2 before crashing and burning on tour three years ago. Singer Dolores O'Riordan - exhausted from a diet she describes as coffee, cigarettes, lots of wine, little food, and no sleep - was too weak to go on. She dropped off the tour, throwing the band's future into doubt. It looked like the end of the line, but an inspiring rebirth has occurred. The Cranberries have a vital new album, ''Bury the Hatchet,'' due Tuesday, followed by a theater tour hitting the Orpheum for a sold-out show May 3, then a likely shed tour later in the year. As for O'Riordan, she has a child (Taylor, age 1), a new regimen (yoga), and a new optimism that is the opposite of the depression that plagued her on the last tour. ''I hadn't slept for about three months,'' O'Riordan recalls of that time. ''And that started to affect me. I was having shakes and panic attacks during the day. Then I was having a few drinks to try to go to sleep, because I didn't want to start taking sleeping pills. And I was smoking cigarettes like a lunatic.'' The fun was gone. ''The thing is, we never really took a career break for seven years. I joined the Cranberries when I was 18,'' says the pixie-like, powerful-voiced singer, who is now 27. ''I lived in buses. I didn't really have anything else. I didn't feel like a female and I ended up really kind of isolated. ''Everybody thinks you're so happy and so wealthy and such a big star, but you're really kind of lonely and don't know how to stop it,'' she says of that grind. ''It was a very interesting learning experience. I went very close to the edge, but it's nice to have been strong enough to get through it. I'm lucky I had family, a good husband, and my mom. People like that help balance you. When you're feeling down and bad, it's the people that love you who kind of sort your head out for you.'' So much has happened to the Cranberries in these last three years. Guitarist Mike Hogan and drummer Fergal Lawler have gotten married. But O'Riordan has changed her life the most. She quit cigarettes when she became pregnant and she's exchanged many nights of wine-drinking for early-to-bed evenings that allow her to get up and watch ''Sesame Street'' with Taylor. ''Big Bird rules in our house,'' says O'Riordan, who is married to Canadian tour manager Don Burton. Giving birth - and she hopes to have another child someday - provided O'Riordan with a another excuse to cleanse her lifestyle. ''I breast fed for three months and it was just all very good. It really makes you realize how important and precious the body is.'' The Cranberries didn't see much of each other in that first year off the road, though. ''I missed the boys when I was pregnant,'' says O'Riordan. But then the group met and discovered that its chemistry was still intact. The band came up with new music (principally written by guitarist Noel Hogan, brother of Michael), then O'Riordan added the lyrics. This time, the lyrics are sunnier than those on the band's last album, the often lugubrious ''To the Faithful Departed.'' That disc contained the antiwar hit ''Zombie,'' but it also turned off some fans who preferred the group's earlier and breezier acoustic-pop, such as its first hit, ''Linger.'' The new album addresses a few social issues (''Fee Fi Fo'' is about child abuse), but for the most part has an upbeat flavor harking back to the group's sound when it was first discovered in the town of Limerick. ''Now, it's more like when we started,'' O'Riordan says. ''We're also more relaxed going onstage and having a laugh and just enjoying it all. You know, there's no point in getting too worried about things, because life is too short. ''It's a lot more fun now, really. And I don't plan to get into the negative side of life anymore,'' she adds. ''I tend to kind of shy away from it, because having been there, I've been sucked into that kind of mentality, that down-and-out thing. ... I try to think about optimism. I try to look at the beautiful things in life.'' She's also trying to keep her distance from the negative side of the media, especially from the tabloid press that dogged her when the Cranberries became stars. The ugliest moment occurred when, after she returned to Ireland following the last tour, her grandmother died and O'Riordan went to the morgue to identify the body. ''Some [expletive] journalist came and took a picture of me there, and the next day it was on the front cover of a tabloid. It was horrible. I was pregnant and my granny had just died. I was sick and I said to my husband, `Let's get out of here.''' She and her husband went to live temporarily in Toronto, which helped calm her nerves. ''I just stayed there awhile until the Cranberries became a historical event, really. When it came to the media, they just totally forgot about us, and it was brilliant. It was suddenly the Spice Girls, and it was Oasis, and it was All Saints, and all these things were coming in and we weren't in the papers anymore. It was like, `Yes! They're leaving me alone at last.' ''We just sort of disappeared and it was perfect, the way we wanted it,'' says O'Riordan. ''Then after another year, I had my baby, and he was growing up, then you start to think about writing songs again. It's just like when the band began. Nobody knows us, nobody cares, and you're just writing songs for the laughs. This [new] album is almost like a first album in a way.'' Next year will mark the band's 10th year (''We're fossils now,'' she says), but O'Riordan is going into the next millennium with her eyes wide open. She's cut her coffee intake to two cups only in the morning, while her band has also picked up the health habit. The group has cut back its nearly daily schedule of performing as a means to stay sane. ''Now we do a gig and then we take a day off,'' she says. ''It's just so much more fun than before, when we used to just gig, gig, gig. We didn't really have a life, so we used to get kind of sick of it. But now it's really nice, because you enjoy the gigs a lot more.''

It is something they have had to deal with from the word GO. When the Cranberries first started out, they were getting rave reviews from the local press. The release of "Uncertian" however, brought them bad reviews. The EP was not up to the standards that the media had previously built for the cranberries. It was said in some circles, that the Cranberries were pretty much washed up. The song NOT SORRY was written, not as a bitter song about a past love, but more of a reaction to the media and how the media percieved them. The release of Everybody Else as well did not do very well in the UK. They release Dreams as their first single and it pretty much flopped. However when the Cranberries came to America, and released Linger, it became an instant hit and the cranberries began their rise to fame. If my memory serves me correctly, teh cranberries were doing opening acts for Suede.. and actually out performed the main act. It wasn't until their popularity in North America hit, that the UK began to open their eyes again to the cranberries. Linger was released and dreams was re released as a single for a second time. When I look at their next album NNTA... the one line that sticks out in my mind is a line from ODE TO MY FAMILY. "Understand what I've become, It wasn't my design And people everywhere think something better than I am" The song is clearly stating how she wishes for the simpler life she once knew, before all the fame. I don't think Dolores enjoys the fame that comes with being a part of the Cranberries. If many of you recall, when the cranberries first started doing gigs.. Dolores, used to sing either sideways or with her back to the audience. On the Third Album... The song Free To Decide also deals with themes about the media. I am sure many of you have seen the video... with the media blitz introduction and the birdcages and photographers. It is not a surprise that the theme of being watched by the media is occuring again on this new album. It has always been an issue from the very start of their musical careers. And it happend to quite a few artists.... by far the cranberries are not the only ones who feel like their are being watched by the media... check out movie stars, Princess Diana... etc etc I think our society has become obsessed with all these icons.. and we totally glamourize and adore them.... less we forget.. they are all simply human like the rest of us.... FAME is not something that they have constructed for themselves as artists. It is more how we, society, view the artist and make them bigger than life. Anyways.. that is my 2 cents D.andy "Move Over... There's a climax coming my way..."

Yuck, but tell that Cerys from Catatonia, what of the two is she? ;-) But all bands (especially in the UK) like this have suffered, be it the last echobelly album that was said to be "shit" or the latest - and last - Sleeper release. > By the way... "Promises" was number 16 on some UK chart yesterday.. > (I think that was the first time I've seen that song on any top 20 > chart...) Here it actually rose 80 to 69, and in this week it is back a bit lower at #73...

It sure comes close. But still it is just unique enough ... and... and... I mean, this album has everything, has it not? I mean, it's got acoustic ballads, electric ballads, rock songs, pop songs, weird songs, sad songs, harsh songs, happy songs, ironic songs, so what do those reviewers want? :> I mean, you can virtually find a similarity to any song when looking close enough and strange enough, no matter what review you pick, Copycat resembles a different song - after all, there are not that much chords, are there? ;-) > Oh, as for the backing vox (save myself writing another mail), I think > he's yelling, because he's actually singing in the same pitch as the > original backing vocals on the album versions (ie Dolores' pitch), which > is quite hard for a guy (trust me, I've tried)... he's probably singing [Me too, me too!] ;-) > falsetto for a large part of the time, and you need to yell it for it > to work properly, especially at a rock concert... Yah, but it also works when you sings a bit quieter and lower pitched. ;-) Ah, anyway, changes, changes... ;-) I will see in a full concert, soon enough, I guess. ;-) Take care, - Frederik +++ ICQ *3887587* +++ *Homepage at* http://www.puti.de/home +++ +++ *Cranberries Cover Gallery* +++ http://www.puti.de/crancovers +++ - --------------------------------------------------------------- This is the Ridiculous Thoughts Mailing List Send posts to : cranlist@smoe.org Send unsubscribe requests to: cranlist-request@smoe.org Put "unsubscribe" in the BODY of the message.
