Album Notes & Community Reviews

Struggling beneath the immense pressure and burnout of massive international superstardom, Dolores O'Riordan channeled profound anxiety into a notably heavier, highly political rock record. The pristine jangle-pop of their early career is frequently replaced by aggressive guitar distortion and stark, blunt commentary on war, assassination, and mortality. The intense thematic shift and harsher production sharply divided both critics and their established fanbase.
