Editorial Reviews

The Cranberries have an utterly distinctive sound, not least due to the instantly recognisable vocal of Dolores, which on this album is brought to the forefront due to its unplugged nature. As such, Something Else offers a fantastic opportunity for a reintroduction to the band, with some of their most familiar tracks being present on this selection of songs.

Probably the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard.

To the person that packaged this cd: I highly commend you. This cd was packaged so well the post office couldn't even destroy the opened cardboard holder that houses the cd. As far as the music sounds it has been remastered and has a reverberating effect to the music.

What an unexpected surprise: beautifully arranged string, acoustic guitar, and mellow rhythm accompaniment to Cran classics; plus three brand new songs; plus another album of all-new songs set for release in 2018! Everything a Cranfan could hope for.

DO's voice is just as delicate and poignant as ever. This album is unplugged, but is a very different experience compared to the Crans MTV Unplugged show. Something Else is not a live album, and there is even some overdubbing of DO harmonizing with herself, one of the hallmarks of past studio albums. All three of the new songs are quite wonderful, each very poignant and moving, especially as emoted through that beautiful voice we all adore. And each could well bring tears to your eyes. Rapture is as poignant as The Glory and Why, while blending in some interesting electronica, without the latter overpowering the other instruments or DO herself.

What seems most different about this album is the absence of the anger - even rage - which characterizes many of the songs from the albums prior to Roses. In Roses, we hear the predominance of a more reflective set of emotions, and that mellowing seems to be continued in Something Else. The anger has turned to quiet reflection and, in a number of songs, a kind of resigned heartbreak. The version of Zombie on this album is the perfect example of this emotional transformation. It is not the angry anthem of earlier iterations of the song, but, rather, a sorrowful plea.

None of this is meant to imply there is something wrong with or missing from prior albums - of course not - nor that Something Else is a downer - not in the least. The members of the group, by their own admission, are wiser, more mellow and reflective people than they were twenty, ten, or even five years ago. This evolution, and the accompanying emotional changes, are reflected on this album, and, rather than being "sad," it is utterly beautiful, and (at the risk of sounding maudlin or clichéd), quietly joyful. In many ways it is at its core a celebration of music itself, that so much care was taken with each track. All of this becomes especially apparent if you listen to this new music within the context of recent interviews with the group.

My only qualm is that a couple of the versions of the songs on this CD do seem rather similar to the original releases. One wonders why they didn't choose songs for which orchestrated versions would have created a genuinely different experience from the originals.

That said, an excellent album none-the-less.

The Cranberries at their best

24 years ago I fell in impossibly unrequitable love with Dolores O'Riordan purely because of the way her lyrics and her voice touched my very soul. During a time of intense personal pain, the Cranberries music was one of the things that helped me find my way out of darkness and despair.

Now the woman who unknowingly did so much for me is gone, and I am heartbroken. However, there is still beauty and solace to be found in Dolores' music, and this collection of reworked Cranberries hits has reminded me why I loved them and still do. I will listen to this and remember Dolores as she was in life.

An album that can make a grown man cry

This is one of the best albums ever put out by this band. Though you think you've heard many of these songs before when they are played in the arrangements with strings the way that they are on this album the songs become even better than we ever were. Absolutely one of the best albums to fall asleep to or to listen to on a dark fall night with a warm bowl of soup and a window facing a tree with orange leaves.

I love this album... Acoustic versions of Cranberries' best

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2018

I have to say that I was so saddened to hear of Dolores' passing, and this album has been a good way to remind myself why the Cranberries were one of the best bands of the 90's and beyond. They always stayed true to their music. I always loved the authenticity, and this album strikes at the core, but some of the edge of those earlier renderings is taken off. Dolores is as crisp as ever, and the strings across the songs are an especially nice touch.
