Review: The Cranberries – Stars: The Best of 1992-2002

Adam Grundy May 27, 2022

The greatest thing about music is it’s ability to outlive us, for better or worse. The memories our favorite artists and bands leave behind in their recordings speak to the beauty behind the longevity of music, in general. Today, The Cranberries have reissued their Stars: The Best of 1992-2002 on a beautiful, double vinyl set that speaks directly to the legacy this band has left behind. Presented in chronological order from the band’s singles from 1992-2002, some of the greatest alternative rock songs of my generation like “Dreams,” “Linger,” and “Zombie” front-load this set of songs that sound as refreshing as the first time I heard them. The collection also includes two previously unreleased tracks in “New New York” and “Stars” that bookend this chapter of the band’s rich history.

The Cranberries have shared an acoustic version of “Linger” from their upcoming unplugged album, Something Else.

“‘Linger’ was the first song I wrote after joining the Cranberries,” O’Riordan recalls for Rolling Stone. The Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? single was the band’s first major hit. “I was 18, and the youngest member of the band was 16 at the time. We never imagined it’d be such a big hit.”
