As someone to whom music is a very important part of life, I try to respect other people's differing opinions about music. But this is sooooooo not a five star album. There is some good stuff here, certainly, but I'd say at least half the songs are musically mediocre, annoyingly repetitive, and really, really terrible lyrically. In fact, though I think only a handful of the songs are musically interesting, it's the lyrics that just ruin it for me. The hokey, repetitive, trying-way-too-hard-to-rhyme songwriting sounds more like a talentless mainstream band than an artist who has proven herself to have a lot of talent. Lines like "Alcohol and cocaine, I think it's driving you insane" have me frequently thinking "oh no she didn't". Oh, and the album art is hideous. Oh, and some moments in the album sound "borrowed" from other artists. (Especially "Fly Through", which reminds me of a song by Jem.) I was a semi-fan of Dolores through the Cranberries years, but it's safe to say I'm officially over her.Free Music Review: The Return of The Cranberry Wench

Gawd, she's back. That "ridiculous" Irish-accented woman who annoyed us back in the 90s just won't go away and raise sheep in the Irish hills or something. No, she's still warbling in that grating way that only she can. Honestly, this woman has a voice that is downright funny in its awfulness. Good for a few laughs at least. I can't help but smile after hearing it. I guess it's not so bad after all. Well, maybe it is. It certainly does "linger" in the mind. "Ridiculous" is right.
