Reviews
"...a song cycle about deaths, most of them early ones....the songs that work best are the ones in which the Cranberries rely on...ethereal guitars and warbly vocals that, like the band's lyrics, are simple but heartfelt.", "This is the rarefied realm of pop, where Michael Jackson presides and others pretend, that O’Riordan and her platinum-selling band the Cranberries are crashing on their gravely titled third album.", "...If the Cranberries once sounded as if they were sleepwalkers in a world gone weird, TO THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED sounds as if they've finally awakened. The may not like what they see, but at least they're ready and willing to scream about it." - Rating: A-
