Album Notes & Community Reviews

Attempting to reclaim their early success, the group strips away much of their later heavy distortion to return to their roots. 'Wake Up and Smell the Coffee' is a collection of breezy, incredibly melodic guitar-pop that emphasizes Dolores O'Riordan's unmistakable vocal lilt over a surprisingly optimistic atmosphere.
